Main Causes of Recurring Clogs

A clog in your sink, shower, tub or toilet is annoying at best, and even more so if it’s a recurring issue. Recurring clogs typically require the attention of a plumber from $25 Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning for the necessary repairs. Our team has seen our fair share of plumbing issues, and in our experience, these are some of the most common reasons behind recurring clogs.

Hair Buildup

The single biggest culprit of recurring clog issues is hair buildup. Over time, clumps of hair can cause a clogging problem that can only ultimately be solved via a drain cleaning in Eastvale, CA. Your bathroom sink is the most likely to suffer from recurring clogs due to accumulated hair strands. A great way to avoid this is to invest in a drain hair catcher.

Soap Buildup

Soap scum buildup can also lead to a recurrent clog. When the ingredients that make up the soap combine with the chemicals found in hard water, you’re left with soap scum all around your plumbing fixtures and even worse, in the pipes. Luckily, our drain cleaning services can effectively address this problem.

Leftovers

A buildup of food particles and residue is the number one enemy of a kitchen sink. Clogs can recur if you aren’t careful and dispose of what’s left on your plates, pots and pans down your kitchen drain instead of in the trash or compost. The same goes for grease and oil, which should be collected in a jar and tossed in the trash instead of down your drains.

Foreign Objects

Wrong items flushed down the toilet can cause recurring clogs. Toilet paper, wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, and other toiletries that aren’t human waste should be thrown in the garbage. We usually recommend hydro jetting as a solution to a clogged drain due to foreign objects.
