Of all the plumbing
problems your home could face, a clogged drain seems to be one of the
most common. Whereas leaking toilets or burst pipes may be caused by
some long-developing event that you might not have known about, clogs
can be caused by something as simple as negligence, specifically, not
being able to properly dispose of things like:
Grease and Fat
For the most part, you
see grease, fat and oils as liquids, so naturally they go to the
sink, right? Actually, the thing about these substances is that they
have a tendency to harden into a consistency that’s almost solid
when cooled, hence it could actually block your drainpipes.
Hair
What’s a little bit
of hair down the drain? Well, just think about asking this very
question every day of the year, multiplied by the number of people
living in your home with you, and try to imagine the amount of hair
that could have collected under your drain after a single year.
Thankfully, there are products that can help you keep the hair away
from entering the drain in the first place.
Leaves and Debris
Leaves, grass, bits of
bark, twigs, and other debris from your backyard could end up in your
rainwater pipes. This could also collect in large numbers and
eventually block all the water from passing through.
