How Will Dirt & Clay Dissolve in a Clogged Drain Pipe?
Solid matter should not be flushed into drainage systems, and -- for the purposes of discussing blocked sewer lines -- soil and clay are solids. Soil could enter through disintegrated mortar joints underground or after washing items, such as flower pots or gardening clothes and equipment, indoors. Clay is most often associated with cat litter, which is primarily made of clay. Even the lumps of used clumping cat litter do not break down and get flushed away as grains when they hit water. They stay as clumps of clogging material.
