- Wipes Clog Pipes!
Protect your home and neighborhood from sewer backups and overflows:
Wipes labeled as "flushable" are NOT flushable and do not dissolve like toilet paper. Even if you flush just one, wipes collect in the sewage pumps and valves causing clogs that lead to sewer overflows and backed up basements. They also put stress on community wastewater collection and treatment equipment causing premature repair and replacement.
