What Types of Drains Do We Clean?

Customers who call us often want to know what types of drains we can clean and clear. The answer? All of them! Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI is equipped to bring your drains back to like-new.

Below are the drains we can clear and ways to prevent clogs in the future:

  • Kitchen Drains. A kitchen drain is clogged by paper waste, eggshells, or cooking grease. To avoid this, throw waste in the trash.
  • Bathroom Drains. Typically, bathtub and shower drains get clogged by hair. Toilet drains can get blocked by menstrual products and excessive toilet paper use.
  • Garage Drains. If you craft in your garage, the drains there could get clogged by woodchips, sawdust, etc.
  • Basement Drains. A clogged drain in your basement can cause flooding during the next rainstorm. We get to work in a hurry to clear it up.
  • Sewer Lines. Your family’s health could be in jeopardy if a sewer line clogs. The resulting backflow might contaminate your home’s potable water sources. You should schedule service immediately once you notice a sewer clog.
  • Outdoor Drains. Any drains located in your yard or along the driveway are susceptible to clogging. Natural debris, like leaves, twigs, and mud easily collect and cause clogging.

Another Clogged Drain Culprit: Flushable Wipes

There are a lot of things that can clog your drains. Most people are surprised to hear that flushable wipes can also clog drains.

Are Flushable Wipes Flushable?

Flushable wipes have no problem getting flushed down your toilet. However, don't let this fool you into thinking they are "flushable". Unfortunately, they can clog your toilets, drain pipes, and main sewer lines.

Most flushable wipes' packaging says that they are flushable. Why on earth shouldn't flushable wipes be flushed down a toilet? To help answer this, we need to think about toilet paper.

Flushable Wipes Aren't Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is made from a material that disintegrates the moment it gets wet. Toilet paper is designed to break apart which makes it easier to get through your drain pipes and sewer line.

Flushable wipes are not made from this same material. Unlike toilet paper, they do not break down and consequently can clog your drain pipes and sewer lines. Over time, the use of flushable wipes can lead to costly repairs, such as sewer line repair and replacement.

The Solution

To help prevent these plumbing repairs, we recommend:

  • Tossing flushable wipes in the trash.
  • Only flush human waste and toilet paper down your toilet - that's it.

How to Spot a Clogged Drain

Not every clog starts off with a disaster, like a flooded room. Sometimes drains slowly clog as time goes by, so it is hard to notice the issue until it has caused bigger problems. If you can spot a clog early on, you might be able to prevent worse issues. Contact our Milwaukee drain cleaning technicians right away!

Three telltale signs that a drain is clogged include:

  • Hearing a weird bubbling sound when water runs down a sink basin.
  • Noticing pooling water around a drain, even when the water is completely clear of debris.
  • Smelling a foul odor around the drain or in the same room.
