In both residential and commercial structures, drains can be located in roughly the same areas:
- Kitchen. In the kitchen, the drains are usually located in the kitchen sink and the dishwasher. Sometimes, in a commercial kitchen, there are drains in the floor as well.
- Bathroom. The bathroom has the most drains of any room of your home. There is a drain in the toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower. Again, in commercial bathrooms, there are sometimes drains in the floor.
- Laundry. In some homes, laundry rooms have a utility sink, and there is a drain in the sink. Washing machines have drains so that the used water from the tub is carried away from the appliance.
All of these drains are susceptible to drain clogs and blockages due to heavy amounts of health and beauty products, hair, grease, food particles, and other materials.
Depending on the location of the drain and which materials it manages, the drain clog could be very dense and stubborn to move.

What types of problems can my drains experience?
Because there is such a variation on how the drains in your home and commercial building are used, the things that can go wrong can also vary.
But, some of the most common issues are:
- Drain clogs. This scenario involves a mass of waste material collecting to a large enough size that it completely blocks the flow of liquid through the drain and into the sewer line
- Drain corrosion and buildup. In many drains, corrosion and buildup can occur due to repeated deposits of grease or health and beauty products. These items will adhere to the inside walls of the pipes, and cause the diameter of the pipes to narrow and slow the movement of liquids.
For all of your drain cleaning, drain repair, and drain replacement needs you can rest assured that one call to Mr. Rooter is all you need.
