4 Common Causes of Clogged Drains

Some of the common things that may lead to drain blockage include:

1. Hair

Hair enters your drainage system through the bathroom drains. They bind with other sticky substances in the pipes and cause blockages. Ensure all your bathroom drains have guards which will catch the hair and prevent them from going down the drain.

2. Root Damage

Roots of large trees in your yard can grow into the cracks and joints of old sewer pipes in search of nutrients and water. This is quite common in clay and concrete pipes that were installed in the 90s.

If this is the cause of your clogged drains, you'll need professional rooting and drain cleaning services.

3. Grease Buildup

Grease buildup usually occurs in kitchen sink drains. The grease goes down hot, and it's then cooled by the vent and sticks to the walls of the pipes. As a result, the buildup restricts water from draining to the sewer lines.

4. Food Remnants

Kitchen sinks that don't have garbage disposals shouldn't be used to dispose of leftover foods. You can prevent blocking of your drainage system by disposing the food remnants into a trash bin before placing them on the sink for washing.

And if you have garbage disposals, you should prevent disposing of certain types of food remnants that can cause clogged drains.
