It’s easy to think that your drains can handle anything that goes down them. Unfortunately, this just isn’t true. Even if you are conscious of what goes into your drains, you can’t catch everything.

What Causes Drains To Clog?
Drain cleanings are intended to clear and prevent clogs. But if a clog is bad enough, it can do some serious damage to your plumbing and even cause your pipes to burst. But why let it get to that point? Here are the most common causes of clogs and what you can do to prevent them:
- Grease – This is most common in kitchen sinks. When you put grease down the drain, it doesn’t flow easily through the pipe and into the sewer. Instead, it tends to just sit in the bottom of the drain pipe. We don’t recommend running a snake down the pipe because it won’t usually clear a grease clog. We typically recommend hydro-jetting (a stream of high-pressure water) to properly clear the clog. An experienced technician will be able to tell when to snake the drain and when to hydro-jet it. This is where our drain specialists can help.
- Feminine Products – We don’t recommend flushing feminine products or wipes of any kind down the toilet. They can easily clog your plumbing. Similar to grease, they tend to sit at the bottom of the drain pipe, which leads to buildup and clogs.
- Hair – It is best to avoid putting hair down the drain as much as you can. Make sure your shower has a drain hair catcher to minimize the amount of hair that goes down the drain. After your shower, empty the catcher and throw the hair in the trash.
- Tree Roots – Tree root invasion is more common among San Diego’s older homes. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to avoid them because they grow where they want to grow. If you have an older home with cast iron pipes, tree roots can infiltrate the pipes much easier than newer, plastic ones. If tree roots are a chronic problem with your plumbing, we specialize in water line repiping and trenchless sewer line repairs to replace older pipes with much more durable ones.
Preventive Maintenance Is The Best Approach
Being conscious of what goes down your drains is a first and crucial step to preventing clogs. Even if you don’t have a problem with your drains now, an annual drain cleaning is your best bet to prevent clogs. Drain cleanings clear away small clogs you might not even know about and prevent them from becoming bigger, more expensive ones.
If your drains are clogged, don’t make the situation worse with the wrong product. Some drain cleaning products contain corrosive acids that will eat away at your pipes and create an entirely different problem. Instead, call a plumber with the tools and technology to quickly locate the clog and fix it without causing further damage to your plumbing.
For year-round maintenance, we recommend using a natural, enzyme-based product for your drains. While these products are not strong enough to unclog a drain, using them on a monthly basis reduces the chances that your drains will clog and that you’ll need to call a plumber.
