What are the Most Common Causes of Drain Blockages?

Wondering why you keep having to deal with clogs. Most drain blockages are caused by:

• Oil and fat
• Food scraps
• Mineral buildup
• Hair
• Disposable wipes and other cotton products
• Foreign objects, such as toys

How Do I Prevent Clogged Drains?

Think of pipes like the arteries of the home. When enough gunk builds up, there’s no room for drainage to flow through, leading to blockages. A good rule of thumb is to know that you probably shouldn’t put it down your sink drain if you won’t eat it.

Instead of sending them down the drain, find alternative disposal methods for the most common causes of drain clogs:

• Fruit pits, peels, and rinds: Although you may think it’s fine to throw these into your drain if you have a garbage disposal, that’s not the case. It’s better to throw them away or compost them.
• Kitchen grease: Let your grease congeal in a container and throw it away in the trash, or you can even use the grease for other purposes.

Drain Cleaning vs. Hydro Jetting

Drain cleaning and hydro jetting are both professional pipe-clearing solutions:

• Drain cleaning refers to plumbers using drain snakes and augers to break up drain clogs.
• Hydro jetting is a service that uses high-pressure water to blast through sewer clogs, scouring them clean of any residue.

Using video camera inspection technology, your UAT plumber can determine which of these is necessary, where any clogs exist, and what other problems might affect your pipes so we can deliver the best results possible.
