All the drains around your home share the same function. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Inland Empire’s in-depth plumbing expertise covers all issues your drains can experience. Clogs can develop in drains for various reasons, so you typically need a service professional with ample training and experience to find the best solution. Below are descriptions of various drains you can find in your home and why they may develop clogs:
Bathroom Drains
The most common bathroom drain clog culprits include hair, soap, and toothpaste collecting inside the drains. Simple drain cover installations can resolve this issue by collecting loose hairs as they flow toward a drain while you shower. Another simple solution is running hot water while brushing your teeth to stop your toothpaste from hardening inside your pipes.
Kitchen Drains
The main culprits for kitchen drain clogs include bits of food, oil, and grease. While cleaning your kitchen following a meal, you may wash these materials down your kitchen sink drain. Oil and grease are particularly problematic since they stick inside your pipes and harden. A garbage disposal can effectively reduce your risk of a clog, but we also advise you to avoid letting specific foods wash down your kitchen drain, such as fibrous vegetables, meat, and bones.
Floor Drains
Dirt, dust, and leaves typically cause household floor drain clogs. You may find these drains in your laundry room, garage, or basement. Clogged floor drains are a potential floor damage cause. These drains tend to be out of sight, but you should have a professional clean them regularly so that your chance of floor drain clogs is minimal.
