Clogged or damaged drain? We’re here to help!
Drain clogs can happen for several reasons—grease, debris, and even tree roots. If your drain is backing up or you’re noticing a musty smell, we can help. Clogged drains pose a biohazard due to the likelihood of bacterial growth, which can become airborne.
Many people only sometimes appreciate the importance of their drains once they begin to experience the problem of clogging. Research shows that the average household uses about 80 to 100 gallons of water daily. All that water flows unobtrusively through the various household drains, and we rarely notice them.
Unfortunately, sometimes our drains fail us. Particles begin to build up in the pipes and block these water outlets. This blockage will result in wastewater being unable to flow away as it should. If you have ever experienced this, you might wonder what could be responsible and what you could do to fix it.
Most drains get clogged due to the buildup of solid wastes that aren’t getting dissolved by water. Dirt from food substances, skin flakes, and hair are the main culprits of most drainage blockages.
Shower and toilet drains are the usual sites of drain clogs. Many people attempt to flush down products that hardly melt. Cotton swabs, dental floss, and premoistened diaper wipes are some things people imagine will melt but they usually don’t.
Hair also constitutes another large portion of drain blockages. They bind with soap scum and go down the shower drain. Over time, These substances accumulate around the corners of the drain pipes and reduce the water flow.
A clog occurs when something gets stuck inside the drainpipe, preventing water from flowing freely. It isn’t easy to detect early, with many symptoms becoming clear only when it’s too late. However, there are some ways to spot a clogged drain early. Here are a few signs of a clogged drain:
