Common Ways Drains Become Clogged in Your Home
We are here to help you when a clog happens, but the best way to keep a clog from happening is proper drain maintenance. If you know the most common ways drains in homes become clogged, you can better avoid the issue.
Hair
The number one cause of a clogged drain is hair. Usually, hair will clog up the shower drain as it binds to other substances, such as soap and grease. Adding a guard to your shower drain can help to prevent hair from going down the drain.
Food Waste
Another culprit of drain clogs is food waste. While it should never go down the drain, it happens and food waste can cause your drain to clog up. Things like coffee grounds and tea leaves won’t break down, which means they clog up your pipes.
The easiest way to keep food waste from causing a clog in your kitchen sink drain is simply putting it down the disposal side or setting up a composting pile.
