Why Are Drain Issues So Common?
Drains are found throughout your home and are a common focus of plumbing issues. Nearly anything that washes down them can accumulate in pipes. This includes hair, grease, soap scum, food scraps, lint, dirt, toilet paper, lotions, and hygienic products. A clog can start any time you run a faucet, use the toilet, or turn on a dishwasher, washing machine, or other plumbing appliance.
Minerals in your water supply can also contribute to drain clogs. Over time, limescale can form on the inside walls of pipes. It eventually reduces the room for water to flow, so drains work more slowly. The problem can also cause pipe corrosion leading to more serious issues like leaks and burst pipes.
Drain Snake: A Plumber’s Most Handy Tool
Every professional plumber has a drain snake, or drain auger, in their toolkit. An auger is designed to be fed down a drain or toilet and reach into the pipe, where it can dislodge objects clogging it. The auger’s head can break up material or grab it so the technician can pull it out.
A flexible coil enables the snake to be moved through a drain and past bends in pipes. Its length determines how far it can reach. Some plumbers use augers that can extend hundreds of feet. They may also use smaller, hand-cranked models for minor clogs affecting a sink or bathtub. However, motorized augers are more often used for main drain line blockages.
Plumbers use various types of drain snakes. The exact one they choose depends on:
- Length and size of the pipe.
- Location of the clog.
- Whether the clog is soft or solid.
When to Schedule a Drain Cleaning
As we’ve said, drain clogs aren’t uncommon at home. You may not need a plumber if a plunger resolves a one-off clog, but a few issues can indicate there’s an underlying problem. Call Apex Pros for any of the following reasons:
- Drains Clog Frequently: Material may be sticking to residue on pipe walls or the blockage may be deeper.
- Slow Drains: One or more slow drains in your Central Ohio home can mean a clog is building or a pipe is damaged.
- Bad Odors: Drain odors can be caused by trapped food, backed-up waste, bacteria, and other things that shouldn’t be there.
- Dirty Drains: If a drain, sink, or tub is dirty for no reason, call Apex Pros; we’ll send a plumber to come clean it out.
- You Use Drain Cleaners Often: Store-bought chemical solutions are often ineffective; if you’ve used them a lot, call a plumber as the issue may be more severe and the product may damage pipes.
