Common Causes of Drain Clogs

Whether a clogged drain is a rare occurrence or a regular one, you may wonder what is causing it. There are many reasons you could have a clogged drain, some more common than others. One of the most common causes of drain clogs, especially in the shower, is hair. Some of the other common causes include:

• Mineral buildup from hard water
• Tree roots encroaching on the sewer lines
• Small objects
• Grease buildup from bar soaps
• Buildup of toilet paper

While it’s true that accidents can happen, you can take steps to prevent drain clogs. For example, you can keep hair from clogging your shower drain by getting a hair catcher. In addition, you can keep your disposal from backing up by only putting approved items in it.

How do You Know Your Drain is Clogged?

In most cases, a drain clog is a simple annoyance. However, others are part of a bigger issue that can cause significant damage to your plumbing system. It is important to understand and recognize the signs of a clogged drain. While you can address smaller clogs yourself, there does come a time when you need to call in a professional.

Below are some signs you need to call in a professional.

Water Drains Slowly

If you notice water draining slowly from your tub and/or sinks, you probably have a clog forming. If not addressed, the clog will only get larger and become a bigger issue.

Strong Odors

If you notice a foul odor coming from your drains, chances are that you have a significant clog.

Bubbles in Toilet Water

If you notice bubbles in the water in your toilet, chances are that air is being forced to get around a clog in the pipe.

Water is Backing Up

If you notice water backing up in other drains, you have a clog in your system. The best way to avoid water damage in your home is to contact a plumber as soon as possible.
