These past months, toilet paper has gotten a lot more attention than ever before. Homeowners have been forced to use brands they aren’t used to, and in some cases, this has led to them finding a new preferred brand.
With stores once again getting better stock of toilet paper, it might be a good idea to consider how your choice of toilet paper could impact your plumbing.
Most might be aware that some toilet paper is not suitable for septic systems and stick with paper that is labeled as “Safe for septic”, but this is not the only concern that you should keep in mind. There are some types of paper, especially those that are stronger or have patterns on them that will take longer to break down in the water. This can actually lead to issues with backups and clogging when the paper gets stuck in the pipes. No matter what type of toilet paper you use, it is important to not pile in too much into the bowl before you flush.
