Understanding Clogged Drain & Sewer Line Issues

Clogged drains and sewer lines can disrupt your daily routine and can lead to more extensive damage. Knowing the common causes and signs can help you act quickly and avoid costly repairs.

Common Causes of Clogged Drains

  • Grease & Soap Buildup: Cooking grease can accumulate along the interior walls of your pipes, reducing water flow.
  • Hair & Debris: Hair, food particles, and other debris tend to combine and form stubborn clogs in bathroom and kitchen drains.
  • Foreign Objects: Accidental disposal of items can block your pipes and require professional extraction.
  • Mineral Deposits: Hard water can leave behind mineral deposits that gradually narrow the passageway of your drains.

Common Causes of Clogged Drain and Sewer Lines

  • Tree Root Intrusion: Roots can infiltrate aging sewer lines obstructing the lines and can cause structural damage.
  • Improper Waste Disposal: Flushing items like grease, or chemicals down the drain can lead to severe blockages.
  • Pipe Deterioration: Natural wear and tear over the years can cause pipes to crack or corrode.  This can cause debris to form clogs in your system.
  • Heavy Rainfall: Extreme weather conditions can overwhelm sewer systems, leading to backups and overflows.

Preventative Tips to Keep Your Drains Flowing Smoothly

  • Use Drain Strainers: Simple strainers can catch hair and debris, preventing them from entering the drain.
  • Avoid Pouring Grease Down the Drain: Dispose of cooking fats and oils in a container rather than washing them down the sink.
  • Regular Maintenance: Schedule routine inspections and cleaning to catch potential issues before they become serious.
  • Educate Household Members: Encourage everyone in your home to be mindful of what goes down the drain.
