Are you noticing a decline in your drains' efficiency? Are you experiencing slow-draining sinks and tubs? Chances are, they could be clogged. Accumulations of hair, soap scum, and food debris are often to blame for obstructing your drains and pipes, leading to reduced flow and potential backups.

What Causes Clogged Drains?
Clogged drains are quite a common occurrence in many homes and businesses. Various factors can cause this problem. Below are the most common causes of clogged drainage:
- Hair: Your or your pet’s hair can fall in the bathroom while taking a shower and cause clogging around your shower drains.
- Soap Scum: Soap scum is another common cause of the problem. The scum can build inside the pipes over time, thus causing the clogs.
- Food Debris: Oil, grease, and food scraps easily accumulate in the kitchen drains, causing clogs.
- Coffee Grounds: These are other common culprits that cause clogs. Coffee grounds expand in water, which can cause clogs quite quickly.
- Foreign Objects: Small objects, toys, jewelry, and other foreign objects can accidentally fall down the drainage and cause clogs.
Signs You Need a Drain Professional
- Slow drainage: Are your drains taking longer than usual to empty? That could be a sign they are starting to clog.
- Gurgling Sounds: Gurgling noises are usually caused by trapped air inside your drains, which could indicate there is some kind of blockage.
- Bad Smell: An unpleasant smell from your drains could indicate clogging or partial clogging.
- Back-ups: Backups are a clear indication that your drains are clogged.
