The $2 Mistake That Ended in a $12,000 Home Repair
Briefly

Flushable wipes, despite being marketed as safe for plumbing systems, do not decompose like toilet paper and can lead to significant plumbing problems. Homeowners may notice signs of damage, such as backups or slow drainage, which could be symptomatic of larger issues caused by these wipes. Repairs for clogs caused by flushable wipes can be expensive, often costing hundreds of dollars. Due to these risks, many people are now opting to dispose of wipes in the trash instead of flushing them, avoiding costly plumbing repairs.
You might be able to tell your home is damaged from flushable wipes if you notice backups or flooding.
It can easily turn into a huge, unexpected, and preventable bill.
