Flushable Wipes Aren't Friends of Downtown Pipes

[Julie]

Wanted to pass along my friend's bad experience for those whose houses have old pipes.

We have been frustrated our drains do not seem to be working that well. A friend was over the other day and saw our flushable wipes in my son's bathroom. She reported her family had a terrible time with the flushable wipes and her old pipes - I think her house is between 50 to 80 years old.

I love these little wipes and the idea that I can flush them. I wish I could report we were using one or two at a time, but often it is a lot more. Our house is downtown and also old so I am hoping we aren't looking at a plumbing bill to flush the flushable wipes. Right now we are crossing our fingers Drano will get us through.
