Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing issues that property owners come across. And as much as you try to ensure preventive measures, these issues can interfere with your typical day-to-day operations when they do happen. Luckily, you can always schedule a drain cleaning in Marietta, GA with The Pipe Medic team should clogging issues crop up.
In our experience, a clogged drain can be a result of a variety of reasons, which we’ll be going over in this article.
Debris
It's normal to accumulate dirt and dust after typical day-to-day activities, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Dirt can clog your drainage system from the washing machine outlet or bathtub. It's even worse if you wash your pet's in the bathtub. The primary drainage system of your household may also get clogged after you've cleaned all the dirt during your routine cleaning. Consider working with an expert plumber for drain cleaning services to ensure your drain is free from debris accumulation.
Hair
Another common cause of a clogged drain is hair. Human hair and pet dander end up in the drain pipes during showering or bathing. When hair intermingles with shampoo and soap scum, it may create a stubborn blockage over time, warranting a call to your preferred drain cleaning company.
Paper Products
Toilet paper is arguably the only paper product that should go down the drain. It's still arguable because too much toilet paper can quickly thicken and clog your drain. Such accumulation may require a reliable hydro jetting service that can only be offered by reputable drain cleaning experts such as The Pipe Medic.
The worst offenders are sanitary products, and even so-called flushable wipes, since these items do not dissolve in water and accumulate. Thus, they form a stubborn blockage in your toilet drains.
Being aware of what could clog your drains can help minimize the likelihood of clogs. But when they do happen, rest assured that The Pipe Medic can be of assistance. Contact us today for an appointment.
