“We found our forever plumbers! The Sutherland Plumbing team was knowledgeable, timely, highly skilled and just plain nice folks to have in our house. Their COVID protocol was dialed (and we’re super picky). They gave us valuable expert guidance as we picked the disposal and water filter that were the best fit for us. Plus, they left our stainless kitchen sink shinier and cleaner than it’s ever been. A+ all the way!”

“Sean and Nate arrived right on time this morning to completely replace our kitchen drain system. They wore protective masks and gloves the entire time from start to finish. Don’t be afraid to call them to do work, they will follow all of the proper COVID procedures.
Their work looks perfect and they left the work areas very clean. I would recommend them to anyone and you can expect a very fast response when you request help!”

Our technicians always wear heavy-duty, waterproof boot covers to protect your home!
Answer: The short answer is YES the treatment plants are “freaking out!” Unfortunately, this translates into higher rates for everyone because they have to structure & modify their equipment to deal with all of these so-called “flushable” over-the-counter products like wipes, cat litter, sanitary products etc.
The main issue is: this stuff does not macerate well like human waste and toilet paper. (Sorry for the visual!)
Eventually everything makes it to a pump system or means of mechanically moving, sorting & filtering (the raw sewer). Some of these “wipes” are just short of a cloth rag.
“Flushable” in that it will flush and go down but it’s no good for any part of the system down the line. Plumbers joke around the water cooler about how great these products are for keeping us very busy!
The flushable cat litter is just as bad or worse because it absorbs a ton of water & swells-up. This can cause havoc in the plumbing system!
When I walk down the aisle at the supermarket and see a new “flushable” product, I pause to thank the manufacturer for their patronage. This used to bother me more when I lived in a neighborhood forced to pay sewer rates, but now I have a private septic system!
