I may not have an academic paper available or spoke to lead expert Dr. Plumber McPlumbface to get a quote, but I do know that every time someone in my house flushed wet wipes over time, my pipes backed up not once, not twice, but three times. The plumber told us “These things keep us in business.” When wet wipes were no longer flushed down the toilet, the pipes have not backed up since. I guess it is safe to assume 1. An expert, who fixes things that may make you question life in general, told me that wet wipes are the problem. 2. I stopped doing the thing the expert told me to do and the problem has stopped. 3. I am now corroborating with a random person on the internet in the hopes that common knowledge is formed or some asshole posts a scientific research article. Welcome to conversations of discovery! I don’t even know why I posted here. It just stuck out.
