Causes & Prevention

What Causes Drain Issues — and How to Prevent Them

Hair

Hair clings to sink and shower drains and clumps into blockages — especially in busy households and homes with pets. Drain screens and regular cleaning keep it from building up.

Toiletries

Wipes, cotton balls and feminine products don't break down like toilet paper and are a leading cause of blockages. A small bathroom bin keeps them out of your pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do plumbers clean drain pipes?

Plumbers use several tools depending on the clog. Snaking inserts a flexible auger to break up or remove the blockage. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away stubborn buildup and clean the pipe walls. For tougher cases, a camera locates the exact problem so the right method can be chosen.

What is the best method of drain cleaning?

It depends on the situation. High-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective methods — it removes grease, sludge and debris without harming the pipes. Snaking works well for localized clogs. Tree roots or extensive damage may require pipe lining or replacement.

How do professional drain cleaners work?

Many start with a camera inspection to assess the pipes and find the cause of the blockage. Based on what they find, they'll snake, hydro jet or treat the line — always making sure the process protects your plumbing and meets the required standards.

Which chemical is used for cleaning drainage?

Most alkaline drain openers are made of sodium hydroxide (lye), and some contain potassium hydroxide. They come as liquids or solids — but for stubborn or recurring clogs, professional cleaning is safer and more effective than store-bought chemicals.
