Discuss Avoid clogging sewage pipe in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

Hello,

In Greece, most of the residential buildings have narrow sewage pipes. In a specific building, people throw paper in the toilet (even if it is prohibited) and this usually clogs the pipe between the visit hole and the sewage. As a result, we have to bring a machine to unclog the pipe and this is expensive.

I was wondering whether installing a grill is a good idea to avoid having paper clogging the pipe and in such a way being able to collect the unsuitable material without having to bring in a machine.

Thanks for your answers

Not sure how suspended waste matter will pass through a grill whilst the grill will hold paper back.
