The most common plumbing problem is clogged drains.

Here are some of the major causes:

Tree roots
Foreign objects
Grease
Soap build-up
Mineral build-up
Food scraps
Food rinds
Hair

Bathroom drains always become clogged with hair, dirt, and gooey soap. Over time, this debris builds up in the drain and drain pipe and creates clogs. Damage to pipes will occur if this problem is not addressed. 

How to Avoid Drain Clogs

The best way to prevent clogged drains is to keep them free and clear. Refrain from putting things down the drain that will clog them including harsh chemical cleaners that may worsen the problem. If plunging does not clear the blockage, it is best to call a professional plumber like us to remedy the problem.

Are Chemical Drain Cleaners Safe?

Most homeowners and commercial property owners use harsh chemical products that are used to clear clogged drains. These products may work temporarily, but over the long run, the source of the problem is not addressed. You always want to provide lasting results that are safe for your pipes rather than treating the symptoms of the problem. Professional drain cleaning is always the best remedy.

Steps to Prevent Drain Cleaning

1. Install an inexpensive hair-stopper on your shower drain to avoid having to pay drain cleaning professionals to clean hair out of the drain regularly.

2. Put a lint trap on your washing machine’s drain line to prevent dirt and debris from your clothes from getting into the sewer line from the drain line.

3. Consider a metallic food stopper with small holes to cover your drain to allow water through, if you don’t have a garbage disposal. This will allow you to keep the drain clear of food debris.

4. Rinse your drains regularly using a warm water and vinegar mixture once a month to avoid regular drain cleaning. We use cutting-edge technology to clean your drains without harsh chemicals or unsightly trenches.
