With the popularization of wet wipes, plumbers' work has increased / toilet drain pipe

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2020
- Hello, everyone.
Welcome to the Plumber Story channel.
The gas station cleared the toilet pipes.
Korea has a different pipe system from foreign countries.
There are no fats in the toilet pipes of Korea.
Korean toilet pipes are not connected to kitchen sink pipes.
Korean toilet pipes are almost always clogged with wet wipes.
In our country,
The kitchen sink pipe is clogged with grease.
The toilet pipe is clogged with wet wipes.
The reason why the pipes on the two lines are
clogged is different.
"It is the same in Korea or abroad that
it is clogged with wet wipes."
The spring machine winds up the wet wipes.
The snake machine is effective on Korean toilet pipes.
There is no grease in this pipe.
Thank you for watching.

After watching this, I'd like to say that plumbers are the type of people who should be paid a million dollar salary. I appreciate the work you all do that often gets unnoticed. Thank you!
Wow, I'm so touched.
Why are you so kind?
Plumbers aren't a good job here yet.
Thank you for the great comments..
They make good money in the US thankfully.
@@SinjidKhan Yep, they really do make close to a million a year!!
Interesting to see why the hospitals I work at insist on reminding patients to NOT flush the “flushable” wipes! XD
I commend you for your hard work.
Always be safe and healthy.
Most plumbers here use snakes
I love the windshield wiper thing they are using.
It came out for a while and you saw it?
Amazing observation.
Ahhh yes the Shit Scraper. It is a fine invention easily found on Amazon for a reasonable price and next day delivery.
Same in Belgium; it's a divided system between 'gray water' (kitchen sink, rain water etc.) And 'brown water' (toilets). Not sure if it is the case for all of Belgium though.
You have a very important and fulfilling job, if you ask me.
Great videos, keep it up! 👍
You're Belgian.
It's so nice to meet you.
Thank you for telling me about Belgium's sewage system.
I'll find out about Belgium on RUclips.
Thank you for your kind and wonderful comments.
"You have a very important and fulfilling job, if you ask me."
I'll keep asking you.
Those wet wipes also cause problems in Germany though not directly in household sewage pipes.
When it rains a lot or there has been a dry period the wipes can stick onto the walls of main sewage system or in treatment plants and when a new flush cycle comes down the wipes then tend to cause pump malfunctions...
Maintenance costs of sewage systems apparently have risen since the proliferation of wet wipes.
That’s why I propose the use of bidets or washlets. Clean _and_ less strain on the pipes!
Are you a bidet salesman?
@@PlumberStory
Nope. Just recognised the benefits of saving toilet paper. 😂
These videos are great! Thank you for posting them. It's really cool to get to see the mundane parts of life in other countries.
Thank you for saying so nicely.
Compliments are always nice to hear.
Thank you very much.
My grandfather called them waterpump pliers. He passed in 1979. I haven't heard them called anything but Channel Locks by everybody else both before and since.
I've heard them called slip-joint pliers as well.
@@Guy-Incognito Absolutely. But Channel Locks is far and away the most common term I have heard them called. Approximately ten years ago I was at Home Despot and bought a pair of 10" Channel Lock brand slip joint pliers just so I could retire my mismatched pair of decades old knock-offs.
@@Guy-Incognito I'm from the American Southwest (Texas). The US is a very large country and there are regional slang terms. Over 20 years ago I worked for a man that grew up in the rust belt. Forklift is the only term I ever heard for a forklift. He called them "Hi-Lo".
and that's why in Italy we use Bidet, never wet wipes!
The bidet may be more dirty than a regular toilet.
Bacteria grow in the water jet.
Installation is dangerous in large hospitals or public toilets due to infection concerns.
The bidet should be disassembled and disinfected.
How many houses can be cleaned like this?
It's very cheap, but I didn't install it in my house for the same reason.
@@PlumberStory Bidet is no, but somehow acceptable. I prefer jet sprayer, that thing with hose and handle, that is not fixed into the bowl. It's clean, easy to maintenance, easy to replace. TP only used for cleaning my wet bum after jet spray, and throw it in specialized trash can, so it never clogged the drain. Believe me, it feel very clean.
I have been using bidet my whole life so i dont understand how you can get the bidet dirty...unless you already touch your dirty ass and then you touch the bidet
Edit: Oh wait european bidet is different from asian bidet 🤣
@@Gildartz89 What I'm saying is an attachment bidet.
There is only one attached in our country.
So I didn't know there was another bidet.
The hotel has it because of foreigners.
Sometimes it is in luxury houses.
You're right.
The traditional bidet is hygienic.
I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me.
Thank you.
Better use if needed some toilet paper with bidycreme on it ! ... CLEAN AS ... CLEAN PIPES 😉
Very good lads 🤩👍👌🙏👏😍😳🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
What is GB?
That was a very clean public bathroom.
Foreigners living in Korea say the same thing as you.
How dirty are you guys living?
@@PlumberStory some people in America make public bathrooms dirty cause they don't have to clean it up. Most people home bathrooms r very clean though.
Wet wipes are money all day long for me. keep flushin em! Can fix the problem in minutes and its a 2hr minimum charge. Sometimes its a new gronder pump too. even better. Like I said, Keep flushin them!
Everyone knows even if you don't tell them. Keep our secrets.
The government might control it.
Wet wipes are horrible for our environment! Please do not flush them down the toilet
@@leanbeam1314 Atleast down the toilet they get shredded vs the landfill where they last forever like a plastic bag or styrofoam container. Make me some money! Flush them!
@@mattozx6rr I don't use wet wipes at all I use sustainabile alternatives but I understand you need money & this is your job lol have a great day !
@@leanbeam1314 I dont use wt wipes either. I also don't use, plastic straws, disposable plastic bags and so on. In the 40 short years of my life I have noticed one thing. Look in the ditches everywhere. Some places look like 3rd world countries. Hardly anyone has respect for the environment. Not even country folk who proclaim to love their environment. I can collect trash fo days up and down the river. funny they can pack it in but cant pack it out. Beer drinkers are the worst. It came out of your damn cooler. Crush it and put it back in or throw the bottle back in god damn it. I understand where your coming from and share your frustration. My livelyhood would not change if adults quit using "BABY" wipes. Kids are acteally my biggest money maker with underwear, socks and toys. ;)
Dam....I will never complain about my work ever again
I hope my sacrifice will keep your mind for a week.
@@PlumberStory I enjoy these videos so much since I discovered them. They are satisfaying haha
Interesting to learn about the seperated sewers. In the US there is no seperation. In fact in my basement I can see where the kitchen and bathroom drains meet before exiting to the main.
This is what I explained to another friend about Korean piping.
About oil
I'll write it down again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't need to know this.
I'm replying because you asked me twice.
It's hard to explain, but I'll take it slow.
We have a different system of piping from the United States.
There are two sewer lines to the last manhole.
The two lines never meet.
Never meet.
Line 1 is the toilet sewer line. - Blocked with poop, tissue, wet wipes, etc.
Line 2 is sink sewer line.(Sink, bathtub, wash basin, laundry room, etc.) - Blocked by hair and oil & fat & grease
Korean buildings should be divided into two sewer lines.
The building law is so decided.
Korean buildings should be built according to the law.
The oil video is Line 2.
That's the background.
Commonalities and problems of the houses in the oil video
Just for oil & fat & grease Problem
Problem 1
Many houses use Line 2.
All the houses in the video are multi-family.
That's probably the biggest difference from America.
The communal piping is poorly managed.
Problem 2
There's too many curves.
Too many 90 Elbow.
Problem 3
The pipes are long.
Problem 4
The pipe size is too small for many houses
The buildings that bad plumber thoughtlessly built have problems like this.
Well-designed houses don't get clogged.
You think the pipes are clogged with too much oil.
You think Koreans eat too much oil.
You think Koreans throw too much oil into the drain.
No, it's because too many houses use Line 2.
This is the problem with Korean pipes.
But people who design or build buildings don't want to change their ways.
So I can keep my job for a long time.
In the future, you will continue to see oil on my channel.
Thank you.
One thing for sure, you did an excellent job!
Oh, I like this comment.
Praise makes the plumber dance.
Thank you for your kind comments.
@@PlumberStory quick question, how plumbers dance?
It's very nice to see the different tools you use to clean the pipes!
Is it because of you that the tools you use to clean the pipe disappear one by one?
In the USA we have actual flushable wipes that are expensive. They’re like toilet paper, just a little bit more durable. I used one to wipe up a spill one time and it crumbled and disintegrated in my hand.
As far as grease in the kitchen Americans store it in jars and then throw the full jars in the trash.
Rebecca G. Day What brand? Every single “flushable” wipe I’ve tried has been anything but.
Good question! Cottonelle and Charmin are the best. Also Equate (Walmart’s house brand) makes a good flushable wipe too. I looked online and saw that the Responsible Flushing Alliance website says that “Flushable Wipes account for less than two percent of debris identified in forensic studies of clogs and accumulations in various sewer systems in the United States and United Kingdom.” There’s a big difference between a baby wipe and a flushable toilet wipe. The flushable ones are sold in the toilet paper section of Walmart. The others are in a totally different place in the store.
@@darkdaygirl OK, I’ve used those before, and they’re exactly the “flushable” wipes I’m talking about. (I am not talking about baby wipes.) They’re sold around the world. Every single one of those should not go in the toilet, no matter what they say on the package or an industry website. *The fact that they’re in the package, wet in a water-based fluid, for extended periods of time without dissolving to pulp **_proves_** they aren’t actually suitable to be flushed, since they’re not going to dissolve in the drain or sewer.*
I’m gonna guess that their tests look at how often they’re involved in clogs within the dwelling. But the problems they cause are mostly in the sewers, where the water utilities say they’re now found in every single fatberg - a problem that has gotten much, much worse since the flushable wipes came out. The wipes act as binder and strengthen the fatbergs, exactly how we use glass fibers to reinforce plastic and concrete.
The other area they cause problems is in the drainpipes connecting a house to the sewer: if a tree root intrudes on the pipe, the wipes can snag on the root, causing clogs to form much more quickly than they would have otherwise.
And even the wipes that make it through to the sewage treatment plant without causing a clog still aren’t innocent, in that the treatment plant still has to filter them out, because the treatment processes aren’t designed to deal with large pieces of debris. Nothing is supposed to go in wastewater that won’t dissolve or break up into microscopic pieces. So the plants have to sieve out all the condoms, clumps of hair, and random trash that make it into the wastewater. And now the damned wipes, too.
I strongly suggest you look for some videos about fatbergs, and more of these drain cleaning videos to see how much havoc these things wreak. Studies by an industry group are designed to make their product look good. Meanwhile, everyone who actually has to deal with the problem is saying the same thing: keep them out of the wastewater.
Excellent work as always. Thanks for the warning though!
What did I warn you about?
Thank you always for your help.
@@PlumberStory probably the very first words of the video, with the word "Caution" upfront 😅
Nice job gentlemen, liked & subscribed! Cheers from Canada
Wow, thank you.
It's kind of exciting.
Nice to be my first Canadian.
Cheers from Korea.
Great job.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Your interest and comments are encouraging.
Have a nice day.
That's a problem everywhere. People flushing things other than the 3 P's. Paper. Poop. Pee
There are people who think of kitchen pipes and toilet pipes as trash cans.
I look forward to a world where more and more people think so.
So I'm going to be rich. LOL
Aaron2233 LOL the three P’s!! I gotta remember that one! 😂👍
I was always taught the 3 Ps were pee poop and puke. ALL paper goes in trash. We all have septic tanks, there is no city to send out waste on over to, so you learn to take care off ALL of your property here in the country.
@@missgail6164 I also use a septic tank system so I am always vigilant about what is being flushed into the system, paper-wise as well as chemical-wise.
@@keithbuckenmeyer8659 we learned a hard lesson about 10yrs ago about tide, fabric softener, and bar soaps. Aside from roots and hair, those will destroy your system in a matter of a year. I have hair that goes past my butt and for the life of me ill never understand why people do not use those catchers in their drains. The amount of hair one loses each shower is astronomical, the longer the hair the more that comes out with each wash. You can definitely tell who has always rented and not had to have any respect for property and who owns just by taking a look at how they care for the systems that rid waste from a home. Id never consider dumping any fat in a drain. Thats insane to me!
Always those wet wipes again.. Also here in The Netherlands, wet wipes are the problem.
I like your video format, keep up the good work!
It's a fresh compliment, not a cliche.
It's a formality that only geniuses recognize.
I like you who like my video format.
Thanks for the nice compliment.
Nice!👍 I do that same type of work! every disease known to man!! Be safe out there..
Misery loves company.
I don’t know why they brand “flushable wipes” when it’s damn near long as a printer paper
I say it's okay, but it's not.
Government also incur huge costs.
Experiments have shown that many products are not released from the water.
The best video to watch when I need to go on a diet 😃
It looks like Korea has done a lot for the smart and for the people!
There should be a law on every wet wipes there is printed on it “Do not throw and flush in toilet!!!”
There is !
Why are you interrupting my business?
@@PlumberStory I see, these mistakes do make more money for the plumbers...hmm, well played 🧐
I have seen flushable wipes on stores before and yes they do have warnings on packages I have seen
They’re designed to be flushed, more like inadequate plumbing and waste processing centers.
Just found your channel on a RUclips recommendation. After a few videos had to subscribe to see New ones. Great job on all the cleanoouts. Living in the Philippines now after spending most of my life in the USA. I don't think I will ever get over the differences in not only plumbing but also in the clean out methods used. But along with Drain Addict and a few more I get too see many different ways of doing things.
I also like to watch other career channels.
I wonder if your life in the Philippines is satisfactory.
I want to live in another place like you do. I envy you.
@@PlumberStory
Our life here is great if you could think back before the Covid quarentine. Now it is day after day boredom. But my wife is from here so I had lots of visits before we lived in the states. Just save your money, research out a place you would like to live in and visit it first. That is why it seems easy for me. The previous visits taught me what life would be like here. So this is our dream come true. You can do it to. Just always remember your dream and go for it when you feel ready.
@@davidbates7429 You prepared in advance.
I'll have to think about it.
I'll think a lot about your advice.
Thank you.
Wet wipes should be banned! They are a menace (although good business for you).
Well done. 👍🏼😄
The wet wipes company is watching. lol
There are people who put it in the toilet.
They use the toilet like a trash can.
I love work hell I could sit around and watch it all day long.
I hope you don't get a heat rash on your butt.
@@PlumberStory the struggle is real. Lol
I keep saying Wet wipes should be BANND.... I stand by my statement. People will never learn.
You're right.
I totally agree with you.
Our district holds a campaign at City Hall.
City sewers keep getting into trouble because of wet wipes.
People never change easily.
Plumber Story Yes, they have become more than an annoyance; they have begun to damage city sewer systems which raises “everyone’s” taxes.
@@keithbuckenmeyer8659 That's right. A lot of taxes are wasted.
It's because of some people's bad habits.

They say flushable wipes but I don't believe that for a minute!
right. If these are bunched up, even bullets won't be able to penetrate.
Unless somehow they degrade when you flush them I was wondering that for a minute
The makers and sellers of "disposable" wipes should be made to pay for all the clogs and other damage they have caused because of their marketing lies.

Wet wipes --- the plummers job security!
Shh be quiet.
Only you should know!!
Don't tell anyone!!
For everyone else, wet wipes don't degrade as fast as paper. They're essentially cloth.
I think Japanese toilets will solve this by letting you wash underneath (with warm water!), dry, then flush. No paper or wipes needed!
Hopefully you will not encounter that the United Kingdom calls "fatbergs"!
That's right. They're essentially cloth.
You know very well that wet wipes are cloth.
But you don't know that I'm Korean.
I'll call you American, too.

@@PlumberStory I'll share you this. Almost all European-based cultures (including America, Canada, Austrailia) have toilets, but they're what you've installed. Japan has improved it to remove dependency on the wipes or toilet paper. It makes you wonder why it hasn't spread across the world.
@@strredwolf The bidet may be more dirty than a regular toilet.

How many houses can be cleaned like this?
It's very cheap, but I didn't install it in my house for the same reason.
In the United States both kitchen drains and toilets drain out of the same pipes and can get clogged with both grease and wet wipes.
Yes, it's different from Korea.
I was very confused after watching foreign videos because of it.
You guys don't express grease well because of tissue paper.
Part of the reason why our toilets drain through the same big pipe our sinks and bathtub do is because the toilet flushes the big pipe out by helping to push any debris that might linger out of the main pipe.
@@KevinBenecke I'm sorry, but can you explain it again?
I've read a lot, but I can't understand.
I've been putting paper towels down my toilet and haven't had a problem yet. Been using them for 3 months now.

The customer himself used silicon to block it.
He said water overflowed from the hole and blocked it.
Nobody knows where the plumbing cap is.

What's with the plastic bottle stuffed into the drain?
Pipes are the same in the UK, ones for sewage and others for kitchen waste, but they do meet up in a main drain. Another good video 👍
We don't even meet in the main sewers.
Two pipes meet in the last manhole of the building.
The concept of the main sewer is definitely different from that of a foreign country.
The main sewer of our country is...
a pipe where kitchen drains meet in several houses. = main sewer = 메인하수관
a pipe where toilet drains meet in several houses. = main sewer = 메인오수관
Is England the same?
I heard that there is a toilet and kitchen pipes connected to one main pipe in Australia.
Anyway, thanks for your attention and encouragement.
@@PlumberStory Our pipes are separate as they run outside, then they meet up in our own sewer drain. Every household is set up the same with their own sewer drain, but these sewer drains are connected to each other so If there is a blockage it could be a neighbours causing it. I think the Australia ones are just from bad plumbers not piping them in correctly.
@@chrissygw4971 Thank you for your kind explanation.
I understand.
In time I will be able to explain well someday.
The concept of sewer drain is a little different from ours.
But I don't think you need to know that.

I'll try not to be a bad plumber.
Thank you.
Where's RATTY when you need him? 🐀
Always on lookout
I don't know what happened with RATTY, but I hope it works out.
@@PlumberStory Ratty is the (rubber rat) mascot for the Drain Addict channel. He takes "Ratty" on the drain cleaning videos.
Ratty was busy in Sydney looking for a break in a clay pipe. You guys deserve a huge pat on the back.
I don't flush wet wipes- they go in the bin with my child's diapers(or nappies for the other countries). And that bottle was most likely shoved in there when it first started to prevent sewerage from flowing
Yeah even those that say plumbing safe, I dont trust them. If you use wet wipes, throw them in the trash.
Humans are getting smarter
I think that the real problem is that people use the drain as a garbage shute. Wet wipes are not going to clog anything if they are put in a proper garbage bag. Thing is, toilet paper are designed to break up easily so that can go in the toilet but not paper towels or wet wipes or tampons etc.
I bet you got a shock when you did the sewer pipe on the newer video, that was clogged with that hardened fat!

Yes, that plastic bottle jammed into that opening was a head-scratcher for me also! 🤔 LOL
head scratcher
1. Noun. Any particularily puzzling event or object which prompts a puzzled scratch of the head.
2. Head scratch. Verb. Most common reaction when one spots a set of man boobs - especially when the man who is sporting the boobs is not exactly large or fat, and the occurance of the man boobs is puzzlesome, prompting the observer to scratch their head in curiosity

just use damp toilet paper instead. does the same job and it doesnt clog it up
I don't want to use it, but I think bidet is the best.
That's the biggest problem when using these low flow toilets. They don't put enough water down to keep things moving. There were less clogs when we used to old 3.5-5 gallon toilets because there was enough water flow to push everything out of the pipes and into the main sewer line. Every few months I use a 5 gallon bucket and pour a bucket full of water down to help flush out the main sewage pipe.
I agree with you.
I've always been thinking the same as you about it.
The world is short of water.
We have to save water, but if we save water in our pipes, the pipes are clogged.
We saved water for the environment, but our pipes are clogged.
The cost of resolving the blockage is paid by the individual.
This is ironic.
@@PlumberStory The thing is the earth has the samewamount of water it always had. It just gets moved from one place to another. Just because it goes down a drain doesn't mean the water is gone. After the water goes down the drain, travels through the pipes and is treated, it is eventually discharged into a stream or river someplace and continues on it's way to the ocean. Even if it drains into a septic tank. It goes out through the leech field and eventually ends up in an underground water or is used by the grass and plants which get cut of or dies eventually releasing the water again. The water never truly goes away. And eventually the water evaporates and goes up in the atmosphere which then comes down in the form of rain. It's just not coming back down where it's needed which is why we call it a shortage. Even the water we drink gets pissed out or evaporates as sweat. But every drop of water is always some place.
@@KevinBenecke I took a science class through your writing.
I hate studying.

You're right.
But I disagree.
Then there's no blockage.

To make a mess of me
The US Navy bans wet-wipes on their ships for this reason.
Wipes and cigarette butts, you will be back again. The plastic bottle is what would have made me mad.
se vi mettete il bidet questo problema non c'è piu hahah
Il bidet è più sporco dei bagni normali.
I batteri crescono nel jet.
Grandi ospedali o bagni pubblici sono pericolosi per l'installazione a causa di infezioni.
Il bidone deve essere disinfettato e disinfettato.
Quante case possono essere pulite in questo modo?
Molto a buon mercato, ma per lo stesso motivo non l'ho installato a casa mia.
What the hell?! Only septic safe material can be flushed down the drains, not wet wipes. Also why is the level of the sewage water in that manhole accessible septic chamber that high and stagnant? It should be flowing since stagnant sewage water produces sour gas and sour gas is explosive and poisonous.
This is the first time I've ever described a septic tank.
There is still a septic tank in our old building.
You're right. Dangerous gas is in it.
The system could be a little different from yours.
They don't know any better.
@@devilmecare Please teach me a lot.
Poo, pee, toilet paper, soapy water, spit, and vomt are the only things that go down a drain. Everything else should be put in something else and thrown in the garbage.
David Lam The problem is the wipe manufacturers insisting on writing “flushable” on them, even though they’re not. This won’t stop until governments either outlaw them entirely (which I hope they don’t), or ban labeling them “flushable” (which I absolutely think they should).
NEVER flush anything down the toilet, but toilet paper! Even if it says flushable.
Why are you interrupting my business?
@@PlumberStory Oops! Sorry, just kidding everybody!! 😅 Flush everything BUT poop people! Poop goes in the trash, everything else is flushable! (This way, you don't have to pull out wads of garbage AND poo 😉😉 Brilliant right??!!)
There are not so many wet wipes, why are they clogging up the pipes? This amount should have been flushed to the sewer with no problem at all...
When it started to drain, a lot of it would have gone down.
It's only a small part of what's on the ground.
There are a lot of elbow 90 in Korean drainage pipes, so even small amounts are blocked.
Thank you for your comment.
Where is ratty?
It's probably at the drain addict's house.
He's in the videos of the guy who wears orange gloves. This guy is in South Korea.
Someone is flushing wipes in our apartment, been going on for 7 months and we cop it we're at the end of the unit where the pipes are, so it only affects us dont know who's doing it but its pissing me off
7 fucken months cant do anything about it
It to s be easy ban the wipe that do not degrade
The world should ban wet wipes
Never flush wipes!
They damn sure arent the flushable wipes I use, that shit tears to bits just tryin to grab it out the fukin package. I could be wrong tho.
Those gloves don't look waterproof lol
Of course, it's not
He has plastic gloves underneath.
Its ur job get use to it m8
I could not wear those types of gloves working around poop. I’m sorry
Wet wipes are a curse..they are not flushable.. I never flush them..put then in a bin in the bathroom…plugged my sewer once with those$300 later..never again
When something isn't yours, you don't look after it as carefully. If you were to flush wipes, you would rather do it at work and you wouldn't feel any guilt if you flushed one down a hotels drain whilst on holiday would you? Plumbers live off the selfishness of humans
Shouldnt you have better gloves and equipment on your arms? Those glove would absorb the poop your better off bare handed
Have you ever imagined that there would be other gloves inside the cotton glove?
@@PlumberStory Lol I have not 👌 until now
@@Steelbooking541, I thought the same thing then I saw plastic gloves under the work gloves.
People have no common sence, nor discipline. Just throw wet wipes in the bin....
It probably smells like Donald trump on his cleaned day
I blame it on blindness. Most bath tissue here (Tennessee)has “septic safe” or “flushable”. I don’t usually see them clogging a drain. Might check the slope. My theory. If it makes it past the tiny trap in toilet. It should keep rolling through the pipe that’s straight and twice as big as toilet. You maybe returning. But that’s what we do right? Poke holes so we can keep coming back. lol o I see the end pipe is sloped up. There’s your problem.
imagine the smell🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮
