What Causes Clogged Drains?

Drains and sewer lines are designed to carry away water, human waste, and a reasonable amount of toilet paper, which disintegrates in water. If anything else finds its way into the plumbing system, you could have a clog on your hands. Here are some common causes of clogged drains:

• Hair: It’s normal to send a few hairs down the drain while showering, but over time, that hair sticks to the inside of the drain and keeps water from flowing through.
• Product buildup: Whether it’s shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, toothpaste, or soap, residue builds up, causing clogs.
• Flushable wipes: Yes, that’s right! Even if the package says “flushable,” it really shouldn’t be. The wipes are much thicker than toilet paper and don’t break down like toilet paper.
• Mineral buildup: Minerals naturally found in our water supply build up in our toilets, causing them not to have enough suction, which, in turn, causes clogs down the drains.
• Cooking grease: Bacon grease may be runny when it’s hot, but once it cools in your sewer line, it becomes a gelatinous glob: the perfect substance for creating a clog. Keep your kitchen sink flowing smoothly — dispose of grease in the trash!
• Foreign objects: Hair, cotton balls, floss, toothpaste caps, bits of soap, jewelry in any sink or toilet, and small children’s toys are all capable of clogging your pipes. Whenever possible, keep foreign objects from going down the drain.
• Tree roots: Mature trees have roots that reach far and wide. These can wreak havoc on underground sewer lines. Fortunately, with high-powered drain clearing methods, it’s possible to chop through stubborn tree roots and restore the functionality of your sewer system.

If your drains are clogged, call 704-795-9349 to hire a qualified plumber in Charlotte, Concord, or Huntersville, NC.

Signs Your Charlotte Home Needs Drain Clearing

You might need to have your drains or sewer line cleaned if:

• Your drains flow slower than usual.
• You notice mysterious odors stemming from your sinks or shower drains.
• You find yourself repeatedly plunging the toilet, despite being careful about what you flush.
• Your drains make gurgling sounds.
• You sometimes face multiple clogged fixtures at once.

Don’t ignore these signs! Clogged drains never recover on their own — they only become worse with time. Get things flowing smoothly again by calling Three Way Plumbing at 704-795-9349.

How Does Drain Clearing Work?

Whenever you have a slow drain, our professional technicians have all the equipment necessary to restore flow. In addition, because you can’t see inside the pipes or underground, we may follow up with a camera inspection to be sure the problem is resolved or actually see what is causing the problem. A lot of companies perform drain clearing, but without following up with a camera, they have no way of knowing if they truly cleaned the drain well enough to prevent the issue from reoccurring rather quickly.

• Plumbing augers, snakes, snake attachments, and other tools are effective at clearing clogs. Tools you find at retail can’t always do the job, but we have all of the equipment necessary, including attachments specific to the clog type. It’s not one size fits all.
• Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to cut through the toughest clogs deep in the sewer line.
• Sometimes, the issue is not necessarily inside the drains of your home but stems from an issue outside in your main line connection. In that case, our technicians may recommend a repair to address an issue such as roots in the line, separation of the line, bellied line due to the ground settling, or even an issue originating from the city public system.

Whatever you do, don’t pour chemical drain cleaner down the sink! Repeated use of caustic products could eventually eat through your pipes, resulting in a much more extensive repair. If your plunging and snaking attempts fail, the best way to clear a clogged drain is to trust your local plumbing technicians at Three Way Plumbing. We can even recommend a great drain maintenance product you can use monthly that is EPA-certified and safe not only for your pipes but for people, pets, and the environment as well.
