What Causes a Clogged Drain?
Drains and pipes get clogged when debris and other materials build up, preventing water from flowing through. In most cases, clogs are formed in the P-trap, which is a bend in your pipe that contains a water pocket. This water pocket stops methane and other foul odors from traveling through your pipes and drains into your home. P-trap clogs are easy to clear, but in some cases, clogs can form deep within your drainage system and require specialized equipment to remove.
The most common causes of clogged drains are
- Grease and oil residue
- Soap scum
- Trapped hair, food particles, and other debris
- Small objects like toys and the caps of toiletry bottles
- Wadded up toilet paper and baby wipes
- Feminine hygiene products
- Low-flow toilets
- In-growing tree roots and storm damage
- Corroded pipes and poorly installed drains
DIY Clog Removal
When youre faced with a stubborn clog, its tempting to try and deal with it yourself. However, unless the clog is small and mostly organic in nature, (grease, oil, hair, or toilet paper), DIY methods wont be very effective. For minor clogs, you can try a couple of DIY methods to see if you can break down the blockage and clear the drains yourself.
Baking Soda and Vinegar
This simple clog-clearing method works best in sinks and shower or tub drains. Pour boiling water down your drain. Then pour some dry baking soda down the drain, followed by white vinegar. Stop up the drain and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Flush the drain with some more boiling water. Repeat two or three times to clear the drain.
Hot Water and Soap Flush
This method can be used to clear a clogged toilet. Pour half a cup of dish soap down the toilet and wait ten minutes. Then pour a bucket of very hot (not boiling) water down the toilet from waist height. The toilet should flush normally after the hot water runs through.
You should never use harsh acid or chemical-based drain cleaners in your plumbing system. These cleaners can corrode your pipes, leaving you with damage across your system and expensive repairs.
