I would bill the tenant with the infant if you are certain it is baby wipes. I would have saved the proof to show them as well. Have the plumber note the cause on the bill as well. If I got any pushback they would be gone as soon as it was possible to remove them. --216.186.xxx.xx

It could also be caused by the "flush-able" wipes they sell in the toilet paper isle, which makes it even harder to blame someone.. --23.30.xx.xxx

According to 4 plumbers in my area there is no such thing as a flushable wipe, add your plumber to the list. Go in each unit to replace something and photo if you see wipes - that is where you send the bill. I have a wire beneath most of my toilets that is used to catch plastic paraphernalia bags that get flushed when a zone car parks nearby, have the tenant mail the receipt to the wipe company for a refund of the sewer cleaning bill - never heard of them getting refunded in over 20 years. If you did not eat it the toilet is not the right place. --76.188.xxx.xxx

Had an adult tenant, hospital ventilator technician, who had them on display when the plumber went in. Clogged the entire left side sewer from his unit to the main in the four plex years ago. It cracked while being cleaned and had to be replaced, whole left side from his unit, around the walls and out to the main which was on the opposite front wall. Lots of money. Learned something though. Special training for ventilator operators and extreme cleanliness required. Explains something doesn't it. --71.104.xx.xxx

The I investigate who's wipes match the ones pulled out of the sewer line. --47.155.xx.xxx

I'd just give all three a stern lecture about not flushing anything but toilet paper and poo and hope that does it. --108.69.xxx.xxx

New Tenants moved in last year. Stern warnings about flushing stuff. 45 days later, Dad says the toilet is clogged. I look and the 'sewer sump pump' that I need because the house is below the street level is constantly kicking on and off and pulling 2-3 times the power it should. Dad helped me drag out the pump, and he pulled approx 40 'wipes' from the impeller. Got it working. Electric bill for me was twice normal. Kept all the 'wipes' and soaked them in Clorox, laid them all out on a plastic bag, photographed them. Turns out they were not baby wipes or personal wipes or cleaning wipes. They were 'feminine freshness wipes'. When the adult daughter (only other adult with Dad) saw the pictures and a 'sample' of what clogged the whole thing, she got very very mad at ME. She stomped over and told me her DAUGHTER (all of 7 years old) threw all those wipes in the toilet. Loved that lie. Poor kid will grow up learning from Mom. --72.199.xx.xxx

Sorta Blonde,came from your unit you are paying but you are right the kid will just learn to blame everyone else.My dad said when diapers first came out back in the day the packaging said flushable and it was terrible for awhile till he was able to convince his tenants they had to throw them out not flush them --104.229.xxx.xxx

I haven't paid for a sewer or septic tank issue in years-- thank you Mr phone camera. We've pulled potato chip bag, pork chop bones, chicken bones - every pad known to mankind diapers shop towels metal toilet freshener hangars-- on and on we could go. Many will say "gee that's not mine" or how did that get in there? Proof is in the pudding!!!!!! --99.103.xxx.xxx

Possibly even have a group meeting - if they are all home at the same time - when you give them the notice. See who acts defensive, etc. --70.160.xxx.xxx

Wouldn't count on it, but You never know - somebody MIGHT. --70.160.xxx.xxx

DJ,never do a group meeting with tenants,it will become them against you and you just helped organize your opposition --104.229.xxx.xxx

Recently in one of my builder magazines there was a small article about "Traptex Guard" which when placed in the bowl of a toilet is suppose to catch all sorts of wipes but let normal waste & TP go down the drain. I have no idea if they actually work & with a price of $250.00 each I'm not about to buy any. --71.174.xxx.xx
