Why it happens in Ocean Isle Beach
The Town of Ocean Isle Beach supplies water and sewer service to the island, with a minimum bi-monthly sewer charge of $40.00. Its collection system includes over 40 miles of force main and gravity pipe and 40 wastewater pumping stations. Pumps and small beach-house lines both choke on wipes, paper towels and sanitary products that guests flush.
What to try, and when to call us
Put a small sign by the toilet asking guests to trash wipes. If a toilet won't clear with a plunger, or two drains back up at once, stop using water and call us.

Why Ocean Isle Beach homes see this

When to stop and call
Have a slow kitchen sink cleared before the season, not during it. Ask your property manager to call us at the first gurgle.
