Drain Repair, Cleaning & Replacement

What Is Clogging My Drains?

Drains can get clogged for numerous reasons, leading to slow draining or complete blockages that disrupt your daily life. Drains are meant for only one thing to pass through—water—and anything else can cause problems. Unfortunately, many homeowners unknowingly contribute to drain clogs by flushing or washing down items that should go in the trash. 

Common reasons why drains get clogged:

• Hair: Hair can easily accumulate in shower and bathroom sink drains, creating stubborn clogs over time.
• Grease and Food Particles: In the kitchen, grease, fat, and small food particles can build up inside your pipes, leading to blockages.
• Soap Scum: Soap residue, especially from bar soap, can accumulate in your pipes and mix with other debris to form clogs.
• Foreign Objects: Items like cotton swabs, toys, and even dental floss can accidentally find their way into drains, causing blockages.
• Tree Roots: Roots can infiltrate underground pipes, leading to significant blockages and even pipe damage.
• Mineral Buildup: Hard water can leave mineral deposits inside pipes, gradually reducing water flow.

It's tempting to clear a clogged drain using DIY methods or chemical gels, but these can often cause more harm than good.
