⚠️ STOP FLUSHING “FLUSHABLE” WIPES ⚠️
This is over 50 pounds of wipes we removed from ONE septic system.
Manufacturers may call them flushable… but septic systems strongly disagree.
These wipes stay intact, clog pumps, wrap around equipment, and can destroy your system from the inside out.
A simple habit can prevent: • Sewage backups
• Emergency service calls
• Costly repairs
• Drain field damage
🚽 Toilet paper only. Everything else belongs in the trash.

PSA Protect Your Septic System – Watch What Goes Down the Drain
These photos show a real situation we encountered in the field. The buildup you see is largely caused by hair and debris making its way through household drains and into the septic system.
Over time, hair does not break down easily. Instead, it binds together with grease, soap residue, and other materials, forming thick blockages. This can lead to:
Clogged inlet lines and baffles
Reduced system efficiency
Costly backups and repairs
Potential damage to your septic system and plumbing
How to Prevent This:
Use drain screens or hair catchers in showers and sinks
Avoid washing excessive hair or debris down the drain
Dispose of hair in the trash instead
Schedule regular septic maintenance and inspections
A little prevention goes a long way in protecting your system and avoiding expensive repairs.
If you have concerns about your septic system, don’t wait—contact us today.

🚽 This Is Why I Always Tell People To Scope The Sewer 🚽

These are the common sewer line materials you will run into and they all have their own way of failing.

Cast iron can look solid but be rusting out from the inside. Clay holds up for a long time but roots love the joints and once they get in they keep growing. PVC and ABS are generally better but I still see bad installs or joints separating. Orangeburg just slowly crushes and goes out of round with age.

Most of the time everything in the house still seems fine while this is happening. Toilets flush sinks drain nothing obvious is backing up yet.

That is why I always suggest a sewer scope before buying a house. It is one of the only ways to actually see what condition that line is in instead of hoping it is fine.

It is a simple check that can save you from a very expensive surprise.
