Why “Flushable” Products Cause Plumbing Problems

Despite the label, flushable wipes, cat litter, and similar products do not break down like toilet paper. They can snag inside pipes and create serious blockages.

Items You Should Never Flush

  • Flushable wipes

  • Cat litter

  • Paper towels

  • Feminine hygiene products

  • Diapers

  • Cotton swabs

Protect Your Plumbing System
