From clogged drains to busted pipes, Philadelphia plumbing presents unique challenges — and misinformation can make things worse. As your trusted plumber in Philadelphia, we’re busting the top 5 myths we hear from West Philly to North Philly:
- “Flushable” wipes are safe.
False. They clog sewer lines and damage systems. Trust us. - Lemons clean garbage disposals.
Not really. They mask odors, but real cleaning needs a safe degreaser. - A slow drain isn’t urgent.
Wrong again. It’s the first sign of blockage or line collapse. - All plumbers are the same.
Not when it comes to city permitting, pipe material code, or water pressure regulation. - Drain cleaners are safe.
Most are corrosive and damage older Philly pipes. Opt for professional drain cleaning.
