DRAIN CLOGS...
The Number ONE Reason a Plumber is Called!
Bathroom Clogs
Assuming the drainage lines were piped properly, tubs and showers usually have hair as the main cause of the stoppages. Physical removal of hair is best. The regular use of a safe enzyme-based drain cleaner product can help prevent slow drains and stoppages.
Kitchen Clogs
The most often clogged drain is the kitchen sink. Kitchen sink stoppages are usually caused by liquid fats, emulsified by warm soapy dishwater and then carried through the drainpipes. As the water cools, it proceeds down the drain and leaves the fatty deposits along the piping. A film of grease forms on the pipe wall and so on. Coffee grounds, egg shells, etc add to this accumulation layer until the pipe become impassible.
We recommend that you pour excess grease into a tin can, not down the sink drain. When using a garbage disposal, always let sufficient cold water run to carry the particles down and into the main line to prevent buildup in the smaller waste lines.
