Residential Clogged Drains in San Ramon, CA

All drains in your home share the same function, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Tri-Valley has ample experience addressing all issues affecting residential drains. You can develop a drain clog for different reasons, so a service professional is typically the best person to trust to find a conclusive solution. We've outlined various home drains and the reasons they can develop clogs:

• Bathroom Drains – Soap, hair, and toothpaste are typical materials responsible for clogging bathroom drains. Installing a simple drain cover over your shower drain can effectively collect your loose hairs washing out whenever you bathe. Another excellent method is running hot water while brushing your teeth to prevent toothpaste from hardening in your pipes.
• Kitchen Drains – Oil, grease, and bits of food are the most common culprits for kitchen drain clogs. When cleaning your kitchen after making breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these elements wash down your drain and may collect in your pipes. Oil and grease can be the worst problem because they stick to your pipe walls and harden. A garbage disposal is helpful, but you must also avoid letting specific foods wash down your drain, including meat, fibrous vegetables, and bones.
• Floor Drains – Dust, dirt, and leaves commonly lead to clogs in your floor drains. These drains are typically in basements, garages, and laundry rooms, and clogs in floor drains can result in floor damage. While you may not see these drains every day like those in your bathroom or kitchen, you should be sure to clean them regularly to prevent costly damage.
