Nobody likes dealing with a clogged drain. Every now and then the cause is simple, like a dropped cap that is keeping water in the sink. But usually the problem is further down, and you can’t tell right away why the water isn’t flowing down the drain. The problem needs to be dealt with immediately, though, because a clogged drain will lead to other problems like backflow, bad smells and even eventually disease.
Most bathtub clogs result from the build up of dirt, skin particles and especially hair as it binds to the soap scum and stays caught in your pipes. Toilet clogs often result from people dropping in items they shouldn’t, like toilet paper rolls, dental floss, feminine hygiene products and diaper wipes. Most toilet clogs can be remedied with a plunger. Kitchen sinks have their own problems, and often clog up because of grease build up or too much food binding with soap to stay in the drain. Most people realize that they shouldn’t put grease directly down a drain, but it can happen. It’s important to wait until grease solidifies and throw it away, and dilute hot oil before pouring it directly into the sink.
