1. Fats, Oils, and Grease

Fat, oil, and grease are one of the primary culprits behind clogged drains. If these substances leak down the drain, they start to solidify and stick to the sides of the pipes or catch basins. Gradually this accumulation gathers more debris, accumulating and creating a deadly block from seamless release of dirty water from your homes even when repeatedly exposed to regular strain from oxidation.


Though it might begin as a seemingly minor issue in homes, without proper cleaning and hygiene taken damages may become costly done by professional help later on.


2. Hair

Hair presents a unique challenge for plumbing. An issue faced by many homeowners, it acts as a major source of clogged drain pipes. Left undealt with, long hair in pipes can get tangled around such things as food or even other bits of hair, creating a relentless buildup which has the potential to form blockages in affected drains.


In turn, these processes impede flow and prevent water from running away down designed channels like it ought to. Couldn't be clearer – hair is something best kept out of your drains!


3.  Soap Scum

Soap scum is a serious issue that can cause clogged pipes and drains. Essentially, when soap mixes with hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium, it sticks to the sides of these drainage lines, forming what can become a real blockage. This unsightly residue is an unfortunate consequence of showering and bathing, brought about by softening your otherwise challenging water supply with artificial soaps.


Over time, this unwanted build-up can accumulate and lead to moments of absolute dread when all the sinks become useless right when you need them most.


4. Food Scraps

Food scraps are one of the biggest culprits of a clogged drain. From rice, and pasta strings to potato peels, these generally harmless items alone can stick together and cause large drain clogs. Plus, if you don't regularly clean your drain, small particles can get caught in the drain lines and create an unbearable musty odor that just won't go away.


Incorrectly disposing of food waste down the sink isn't worth the consequences. Save yourself from aggravation and perform proper kitchen maintenance to keep all smelly scenarios at bay!


Warning Signs You May Need Drain Cleaning

There are several warning signs that you may have clogged drains and need a professional plumber for drain cleaning or sewer line cleaning. These include slow sink drain lines, bad smells coming from your drains, or water backing up out of your drains when you run the dishwasher or washing machine.


If you notice any of these warning signs and store drain cleaner isn't working, it’s important to have your drains properly cleaned.

How to Prevent Clogged Drains and Pipes:

  • Avoid pouring food particles, fats, oils, or grease down the drain – dispose of them in the trash instead;

  • Install strainers in your sink to catch long hair and other materials to prevent clogs;

  • Use soap sparingly and consider switching to a natural alternative such as castile soap;

  • Avoid putting food scraps down the drain – compost them instead; and

  • Run hot water down your drains regularly to help break up any buildup that may have occurred
