4 Common Reasons Pipes Clog

4 Common Reasons Pipes Clog

Dealing with clogged pipes is a frustrating and recurring issue for many homeowners. Understanding why it happens and how to prevent it can save you time and hassle. Here are several common reasons why pipes may become clogged.

Kitchen Waste

Your garbage disposal isn’t designed to handle all types of food waste. Certain items should never be put down the drain as they are likely to cause clogs, such as:

– Oily and greasy substances
– Eggshells
– Coffee grounds
– Fruit peels
– Large food chunks

Things You Shouldn’t Flush

Not everything that can fit down the drain should be flushed. Items labeled as “flushable” aren’t always safe for pipes. Avoid flushing these items to prevent clogs:

– Bathroom wipes
– Tissues
– Paper towels
– Cat litter
– Cotton balls
– Feminine hygiene products

Using excessive toilet paper can also contribute to clogs.

Soap Scum

Soap scum is a significant issue in bathrooms, particularly from bar soap. It leaves a residue that can accumulate in pipes over time, leading to blockages.

Foreign Objects

Sometimes, pipes get clogged by unexpected objects that find their way into the plumbing system, including:

– Toys or objects accidentally flushed or dropped
– Mobile phones dropped into toilets
– Outdoor debris like leaves and plants
– Intruding tree roots or trapped animals

Resolving Clogs

Most clogs are manageable and preventable with proper care and maintenance. If you’re unable to clear a clog or identify its source, contact Dr. Rohde Heating, Plumbing, & Air for professional assistance. Taking swift action can prevent more serious plumbing issues.
