The Most Common Causes For A Clogged Drain
We have all had to deal with a pesky clogged drain at some point. Whether it be a kitchen drain, bathroom sink, or shower drain, the problem can be very troubling and can interfere with our daily tasks in a disruptive way.
The most important factor when it comes to avoiding a clogged drain, is knowing what causes a clogged drain in the first place. Below we will explore the top causes for clogged drains in our kitchens and bathrooms.
Kitchen Clogs:
Grease and Oil: Most people are using cooking oils and fats like butter to cook their food. What about when the cooking is done and all of the leftover oils and fats are still in your pan? Do you bring it straight to the sink and start cleaning in it? This could be a problem for your drains! Instead, collect your oils and fats in a glass bottle for proper disposal.
Large Chunks of Food: If you are relying too heavily on your garbage disposal to get rid of large pieces of food, you may clog your drain and create an annoying problem for yourself. Keep the scraps you allow to go down your drain to a minimum.
Bathroom Clogs:
Hair: The most common cause of a bathroom clog, in the sink or shower, is an excess of hair buildup. This can be a difficult problem to solve without the help of a plumber. A helpful tool to avoid this happening in the future is getting a hair catching plug that still allows the water to filter through.
Soap Scum: Soap scum paired with hair, dirt, grime, dead skin, etc. can lead to some pretty disastrous circumstances for your drains! While this is hard to avoid, you can look into formulas that are safe for you to use to clean your drains out periodically.
