Recently there have been questions about how save are flushable wipes and bathroom products are for Orlando area septic tanks. There have been many studies done on the subject with the similar results. Remember if you have an issues with your septic system, contact Orlando Septic Services with any questions.

Flushable wipes may say they are safe for septic systems, but they take considerably longer to break down than regular toilet paper. They also cause major backups and damage.

Be mindful of what is going down the drains and toilets. Avoid chemicals, grease, paint, food, flushable wipes, feminine products, even certain toilet paper and household cleaners can disrupt the septic cycle.

According to the City of Maitland Facebook, Be a Sewer Hero.

Do not flush wipes of any kind in the toilet. Even “flushable” wipes and other commonly flushed items can cause significant damage to Maitland’s sanitary sewer system.

Toilets are intended for human waste. Items such as cleaning wipes, baby wipes, cosmetic wipes, diapers, paper towels and personal hygiene products clog up sewer equipment and pipes. These type of products do not break down within the sewer system like toilet paper, often causing costly repairs and sometimes sewer backups.

Reports show these products cause about $441 million in repairs and additional operational costs each year for wastewater utilities across the country.

Help to protect Maitland’s sanitary sewer system. Only flush the three P’s down the toilet – pee, poo, and (toilet) paper. Throw everything else in the trash

The small price of pumping the tank can avoid the thousands of dollars on repairs, many of which could have been prevented.
