What Causes Clogged Drains?
Clogged drains happen to everyone, but what exactly causes these annoying blockages? The most common culprits include:
- Hair and soap residue: The bathroom sink and shower drain are particularly prone to clogs from hair mixed with soap, which binds together, gradually accumulating on pipe walls and reducing water flow. Brushing your hair before getting in the shower and using mesh strainers can help prevent this type of blockage.
- Grease and food particles: These clogs are particularly nasty in kitchen sinks without garbage disposals. Even if you have this handy fixture, grease can harden and stick to pipe walls, leading to major blockages. Remember, grease belongs in the trash, not down the sink.
- Mineral buildup: Most places in the U.S. have hard water, including Dallas–Fort Worth. Dissolved minerals in the water can form deposits on the insides of pipes, reducing their diameter and slowing water flow. This eventually leads to blockages and may also harm your drain pipes.
- Foreign objects: Whether by accident or because of a little one’s curiosity, small objects can end up down the drain. These can get caught in the pipe and cause immediate blockages, attracting other debris and forming severe clogs over time.
Why Drain Cleaning Is Important
Ignoring a clogged drain is never a good idea. Here’s why regular drain cleaning is crucial:
- Prevent damage: Regular drain cleaning removes buildup before it can lead to serious pipe damage, burst pipes, or fixture overflows, which can cause water damage and be costly to repair.
- Create a healthier home environment: Clogged drains lead to stagnant water in pipes, forming a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. These microorganisms contribute to unpleasant odors and may impact your home’s air quality.
- Improve efficiency: A clean drain ensures free-flowing water, which reduces the strain on your pipes and ensures your plumbing appliances operate efficiently without the added pressure or risk of backflow.
- Save money: Preventative drain cleaning helps prevent unexpected plumbing emergencies and the need for expensive water damage cleanup, saving you money in the long run.
Drain Cleaning Services
Knowing your drains need to be cleaned is one thing — ensuring the job is done right is another. Willard Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electrical offers various drain-clearing methods tailored to different situations:
- A video camera pipe inspection allows us to precisely diagnose the cause and identify the location of clogs through noninvasive means.
- Drain snaking or augering is effective for blockages relatively close to the drain. It involves feeding a long, flexible cable into the drain and mechanically breaking up the clog.
- Hydro jetting is reserved for the most stubborn clogs, using high-pressure water to clear blockages and clean pipe walls.
