Common Causes of Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are a frustrating but common issue for homeowners. Understanding what causes them can help you address problems early and avoid costly repairs. Over time, everyday debris builds up in your pipes, restricting water flow and increasing the risk of blockages.
The most common causes of clogged drains include:
- Soap residue – Buildup from soap scum can cling to the sides of pipes, attracting other debris.
- Grease and fat – Oils poured down the drain can harden and create stubborn clogs.
- Hair – Especially common in bathroom drains, hair easily binds with soap and other particles.
- Food particles – Food scraps and coffee grounds can quickly block kitchen drains.
- Foreign objects – Small items like cotton swabs, wipes, or toys can accidentally end up in drains.
- Tree root intrusion – Roots can invade underground sewer lines, causing severe blockages and pipe damage.
Why It Matters:
Ignoring drain issues can lead to slow drainage, unpleasant odors, overflow, leaks, and even significant plumbing damage. To prevent problems, routine drain inspections and timely cleanouts are essential for protecting your plumbing system and maintaining proper water flow throughout your property.
How Often Should I Schedule Professional Drain Cleaning?
We recommend scheduling a professional drain cleaning service at least once a year to prevent serious blockages and plumbing emergencies. Regular maintenance keeps your pipes clear of soap scum, grease, hair, and other debris that can cause slow drainage or backups. If you notice recurring clogs or unpleasant odors, it’s a good sign to call us for a thorough cleaning.
