Drain Clogs
A clogged kitchen or bathroom sink can disrupt your day and even make your sinks start to smell. Luckily, there’s a simple solution. Make the most comfortable call you’ll ever make and call Strongbuilt as your go-to for plumbing issues.
A clogged drain is the result of debris or a foreign object blocking the passage of water in your plumbing system. Sometimes it’s a paper towel, toy, or kitchen utensil but one of the most common blockages is hair, especially in bathroom sinks and bathtubs. Other potential culprits include cooking oil and food. Often, an object gets stuck in a pipe and other debris and particles build up in the pipe to block the drain.
The best solution to a clogged drain is prevention. Make sure you never pour oil down the drain and use a drain cover to catch food, hair, and debris. If the drain is fully blocking water flow, there’s a potential that it could get backed up and flood your home or cause other issues. Your best option for a clogged drain is to call a professional. Many chemical drain uncloggers can damage your plumbing system and it’s important to fully clean the blockage so that it does not get clogged again.
A useful addition to your plumbing system is a backflow preventer which reduces or eliminates the risk of backflow into your sanitary sewer line. It’s important to keep raw sewage out of your pipes! Backflow preventers work best if they are installed where waste enters the drainage system, such as at the connection to your toilet or kitchen sink pipe.
