Common Sources of Clogged Drains

Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing problems homeowners face. While a slow or blocked drain can be caused by many factors, understanding the most common sources of clogs can help you prevent them in the future. Over time, debris, grease, and other substances can accumulate in your pipes, leading to blockages that disrupt your plumbing system.

Here are some of the most frequent causes of clogged drains:

Hair: In bathrooms, hair is one of the leading causes of drain blockages. It can easily tangle and combine with soap scum to form stubborn clogs.
Grease and fat: Pouring grease, oil, or fat down kitchen drains may seem harmless at first, but as it cools, it solidifies and sticks to the inside of pipes, causing major blockages.
Food waste: Improper disposal of food scraps in kitchen sinks, especially fibrous or starchy items like potato peels or rice, can quickly lead to clogs.
Soap scum: Soap and mineral buildup in bathroom drains can form thick layers over time, slowing down water flow and eventually leading to a complete blockage.

Understanding these common clogging factors empowers you to adopt preventive measures such as regular drain maintenance and mindful disposal of waste materials. By keeping an eye on what enters your drains, you can significantly extend the life of your plumbing system.

Tree roots: Tree roots can infiltrate your plumbing system through tiny cracks in the pipes, causing severe blockages, especially in older underground drain lines.
Foreign objects: Small objects like cotton balls, wipes (even those labeled “flushable”), or toys can accidentally be flushed or washed down drains, causing obstructions.

By being mindful of what goes down your drains and taking preventative measures, you can reduce the risk of clogs and keep your plumbing running smoothly.

5 Signs Your Drains Need to Be Cleaned

Regular drain cleaning is essential to keep your plumbing system running smoothly. Most drains should be cleaned every one to two years, but there are clear signs that indicate it’s time for a cleaning sooner.

Signs you need to schedule professional drain cleaning include:

Slow-draining water: Water takes longer than usual to drain from sinks, tubs, or showers, suggesting a buildup in the pipes.
Unpleasant odors: Foul smells emanating from drains can indicate trapped debris, grease, or stagnant water.
Frequent clogs: Recurring clogs, even after using over-the-counter drain cleaners, can signal a deeper issue in your pipes.
Gurgling noises: Strange gurgling or bubbling sounds from drains usually mean that air is trapped due to a partial blockage.
Water backups: Water backing up into sinks, tubs, or toilets is a clear sign that your drains need attention to prevent further damage.

Routine inspections and professional cleaning can help free your plumbing system from these signs of distress. Acting early in addressing these issues can prevent larger, more costly repairs in the future, ensuring peace of mind.

In Torrance, local regulations ensure that plumbing systems meet certain standards. Regular maintenance not only keeps your home comfortable but also ensures compliance with these standards, avoiding potential penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should Drains Be Professionally Cleaned?

While it's generally recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned every one to two years, certain conditions in Torrance, such as older plumbing systems or high tree root activity, may necessitate more frequent cleaning. Regular inspections can reveal the health of your drainage system and help decide the frequency of cleanings tailored to your needs. This proactive approach is crucial in dodging major plumbing issues down the line.

What Makes Torrance Drain Systems Unique?

The coastal environment of Torrance can affect plumbing systems uniquely. The salty sea air can accelerate corrosion in older metal pipes, while sandy soil conditions can shift and settle over time, impacting underground drains. Understanding these local challenges, Drain EZ Plumbing focuses on preserving and protecting plumbing systems through targeted solutions that consider the environmental and infrastructural characteristics of Torrance.

“Jesse was professional, efficient, and courteous; I will definitely call him for any other issues we have in the future.”
During a bathroom renovation our contractor discovered that the original shower/tub valve was in bad shape. We called for a plumber and Jesse from Drain EZ Plumbing came out within an hour of my initial call to diagnose the issue. He came back the next day and fixed everything in an hour and a half flat. Jesse was professional, efficient, and courteous; I will definitely call him for any other issues we have in the future.

- Erin S.
“I'll definitely be reaching out to Jesse again. Thank you Jesse!”
I've worked with a lot of contractors, plumbers, electricians etc. and Jesse is top notch one of the best. We were having issues with rain water backing up in our storm drain and getting in our crawlspace. Jesse was quick to come out and thoroughly investigated the issue with cameras. We ended up needing the storm drain changed out as it was clogged with tree roots. Jesse gave a fair price and his team worked hard to get the job done in a few days. They had to hand dig a 70 ft trench which was no easy task and Jesse kept me informed every step of the way. He also hydrojetted the gutters for free and when he was done he power washed the whole outside and put the sod back perfectly. I'll definitely be reaching out to Jesse again. Thank you Jesse!

- Craig B.
