What Drains Can You Clear?
The service professionals at Mr. Rooter of Tupelo and Oxford have years of experience unclogging every type of residential drain you may have in your home. We know what issues are more likely to affect certain drains, allowing us to provide timely repair services to get your drains flowing freely again in no time. All drains have the same function of carrying wastewater away from your home, whether they’re in your bathroom, basement, or kitchen. Our service professionals can clear any drain in your home, including:
- Bathroom Drains– Toothpaste, hair, and soap residue are some of the most common causes of bathroom drain clogs. Drain covers can be installed to help collect loose hairs before they fall into the drain. You can also run hot water while brushing your teeth to help prevent toothpaste from hardening in your pipes.
- Kitchen Drains– Oil, grease, and food are the leading causes of kitchen drain clogs. Oil and grease tend to harden inside your pipes. Garbage disposals help, but it's still essential to avoid putting certain foods down your drain, such as fibrous vegetables, meat, and bones.
- Floor Drains– Dust, dirt, and leaves can clog floor drains in laundry rooms, basements, and garages. Clogs in floor drains should be addressed immediately because they can cause floor damage.
