Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a leading drainage service provider in Lincolnshire, WPS Plumbing & Drainage has seen firsthand the devastating impact of wipes on toilets and drains. With years of experience in unblocking and repairing drains, we've encountered numerous cases where wipes have caused significant blockages and damage to sewage systems.

Wipes, including baby wipes, makeup wipes, and wet wipes, are designed to be convenient and easy to use. However, they are not designed to be flushed down the toilet. Despite this, many people assume that they can be disposed of in the same way as toilet paper. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

When wipes are flushed down the toilet, they can cause significant blockages in the drainage system. Unlike toilet paper, which breaks down quickly in water, wipes do not disintegrate and can accumulate in the pipes, leading to severe blockages. This can result in sewage backups, overflows, and even damage to the toilet and surrounding areas.

In Lincolnshire, the sewer system is designed to handle a certain amount of waste, but the increasing use of wipes has put a strain on the system. Blockages caused by wipes can lead to sewage overflows, which can contaminate waterways and harm the environment. In addition, the cost of clearing these blockages can be significant, with some cases requiring expensive repairs and maintenance.

To avoid the risks associated with flushing wipes, it's essential to use them responsibly. Here are some tips:

• Dispose of wipes in the bin, rather than flushing them down the toilet.
• Use a designated bin for wipes, and make sure to empty it regularly.
• Avoid using wipes that are not designed to be flushed, even if they claim to be "flushable."
