Common Causes of a Clogged Drain Pipe
Drain clogs can be frustrating, but knowing why they happen can allow you to prevent them when possible.
- Hair Buildup: Hair is the most common culprit in bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers. As hair washes down the drain, it accumulates in pipes, forming clumps that trap soap and other debris.
- Soap Scum: While it might seem harmless, soap residue combines with hard water minerals, creating a sticky film that builds up in pipes.
- Grease and Oil: Grease, oils, and fats are the major causes of kitchen drain clogs. These substances are liquid when poured down the drain but solidify as they cool.
- Food Waste: Even with a garbage disposal, certain types of food waste, like coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous vegetables, can cause clogs.
- Tree Roots: Outdoor drains, especially ones connected to older pipes, are susceptible to tree root intrusion.
Experts recommend using drain covers, avoiding flushing non-flushable items, and scheduling routine drain cleaning as maintenance to keep pipes free flowing. And, when prevention isn’t possible, you can always count on Pride Plumbing to unclog drains of all kinds in your Winston-Salem home.
