Common Causes of Clogged Drains (and How to Avoid Them)

A clogged drain is one of the most common calls we get. Most clogs build up slowly and are entirely preventable with a few good habits.

Kitchen Drains

Grease, oil, and food scraps are the biggest culprits. Never pour grease down the drain — let it cool and throw it away. Use a sink strainer to catch food particles.

Bathroom Drains

Hair and soap scum clog tub and shower drains over time. A simple drain screen catches hair before it builds up at the stopper.

Why You Should Skip Store-Bought Drain Cleaners

Chemical drain cleaners are harsh and can corrode your pipes, causing bigger problems down the road. For stubborn clogs, professional drain cleaning is safer and more effective.

When to Call a Pro

If multiple drains are slow at once, or a clog keeps coming back, it may point to a deeper issue in your main line. A licensed plumber can clear it properly and inspect for underlying problems.
