Common Causes of Clogged Drains
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rogers, we’re in the business of education. Every day, our team clears hundreds of drains, and the same set of problems usually causes them. We’ve gathered a few of the common causes of clogged drains in Rogers. We want to help you learn what you can avoid, and ensure the health of your system and drains.
Some of the common causes of clogged drains include:
- Inorganic Materials – One of the main causes of clogged drains is inorganic materials in the plumbing system. Hygienic products to sand and dirt can cause a build-up that can slow or even prevent your drain from doing its job. It’s essential to understand what should – and shouldn’t – enter your plumbing system. Many times, these small objects can only be removed by a plumbing expert.
- Mineral Build-up – The minerals discovered in hard water can cause build-ups that block your drains. If hard water is a problem in your property’s area, installing a water softener may be beneficial.
- Food Waste – Food waste should never go down a drain unless you have a garbage disposal in place. Even then, your garbage disposal should be used sparingly, as food particles (especially those soaked with oil and grease) can build up quickly, causing a clog in your drain or sewer lines. Additionally, the disposal of the likes of coffee grounds and eggshells should be avoided to ensure your kitchen sink will be free of potential clogs.
- Hair – When it comes to your bathroom, many drains are present and used every day. Hair is one of the biggest culprits of drain blockages. Gross, we know–but hair can bind with oil and other debris types to form clogs that can run down your whole drain pipe. It is important to install drain screens that can regularly catch the hair from entering the drain.
- Soap – No matter where the drain is located in your home, a build-up of soap scum from daily tasks can cause issues for your pipes. Combined with things like hair and food, they can develop a clog that professionals must remove using an advanced jetting system.
- Tree Roots – If any of your pipes have small cracks or leaks, tree roots can be attracted very easily. Once inside, tree roots grow quickly and expand, obstructing your drains from draining and your water from flowing. Using a variety of services such as jetting or trenchless repair, our team can rid of the stubborn and havoc-causing roots.
With so many causes, the best way to fix them is by having the clog prevented in the first place. It’s important to never put things down the drain that shouldn’t be flushed. Additionally, it’s essential to call our professional team at the first sign of a clogged drain so we can get your system working like usual again, all while keeping future plumbing issues at bay.
How Much Does Drain Cleaning Cost?
In general, drain cleaning can cost anywhere from $100 to $200 a job. The difference in cost largely depends on the job’s location and the clog’s severity. Our team is always happy to discuss your specific needs and provide you with an upfront and honest quote.
