Understanding & Preventing Common Clogged Drains

We've broken down common drain issues by room to help you understand what causes clogs, how to spot them, and how to prevent them.

Bathroom Drains

• How They Get Clogged: Hair, soap scum, toothpaste, and bath products.
• Telltale Signs: Slow draining shower or sink, gurgling sounds, and unpleasant odors.
• What You Can Do: Use hair catchers in drains, avoid pouring excess hair products down the drain, and flush only toilet paper.

Laundry Room Drains

• How They Get Clogged: Lint, fabric softener buildup, and even small clothing items.
• Telltale Signs: Slow draining washing machine, water overflowing from the drain, and musty smells.
• What You Can Do: Clean the lint trap regularly, avoid overloading the washing machine, and use the appropriate amount of detergent and fabric softener.

Clogged Sewer Line

• How They Get Clogged: A combination of issues from individual drains accumulating in the main lines, tree roots infiltrating pipes, and buildup of debris over time. Flushing inappropriate items like wet wipes or "flushable" wipes also contributes significantly.
• Telltale Signs: Multiple drains clogging simultaneously, sewage backups, gurgling sounds throughout the house, and foul odors coming from drains.
• What You Can Do: Be mindful of what you flush (only toilet paper!), avoid pouring grease down any drain, and schedule regular drain cleaning to prevent buildup.
