Causes of Clogged Drains

Kitchens

Kitchen drains are particularly prone to clogging due to the materials people often dispose of in their sinks. Fats, oils and grease from cooking can congeal in pipes, as well as food particles that don’t get washed away. Over time, these build up and block the flow of water. Many homeowners think that a garbage disposal will save them from clogged drains, but there are still materials that should not be put into the sink, such as stringy vegetables and potato peels. Some examples of materials you should avoid putting down your drain (even if you have a garbage disposal) include:

Cooking grease, oil, or fat
Eggshells
Coffee grounds
Hard foods (i.e. fruit pits, nuts, & seeds)
Pasta, oats, & rice
Onion skins or potato peels

If you’re not sure what can or cannot go down your drain, it’s better to be safe than sorry – simply throw out any questionable items before washing your dishes in the sink.

Bathrooms

Proper maintenance of your bathroom drains involves understanding the specific requirements of each drain. Shower and bathtub drains are prone to clogs caused by hair and soap scum accumulation, as they are designed to handle water only. While the occasional use of bath bombs is generally acceptable, it’s crucial to avoid those containing solid materials like flower petals or herbs, as they can cause blockages in the pipes. By being mindful of what you introduce into your shower and bathtub drains, you can help ensure proper water flow and prevent frustrating clogs.

Additionally, tissues and other paper products should not be flushed down the toilet – they may dissolve initially, but will build up over time and cause a clog. The same goes for ‘flushable’ products. While their labels may claim they’re safe for your plumbing system, they can still cause an obstruction in the pipes. When in doubt, throw it out!
