Blocked drains are a common yet frustrating plumbing issue. Here are the top causes and how to prevent them:
1. Hair Build-Up
Hair is one of the main culprits for bathroom drain blockages. Use a drain cover to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
2. Grease and Fat
In the kitchen, grease and fat can solidify in your pipes. Dispose of them in the trash instead of pouring them down the sink.
3. Foreign Objects
Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. Items like wipes, sanitary products, and paper towels can cause severe blockages.
4. Tree Roots
Tree roots can infiltrate underground pipes, causing significant blockages. Regular inspections and root cutting can prevent this.
By following these simple steps and seeking professional help when needed, you can keep your drains flowing smoothly.
