Why Clogs Reoccur

Jason R.

Did you call a drain cleaning company just recently to sort out your drains, and they are already clogged once again? If you are tired of the frequent slow drains, you might want to understand why clogs reoccur. At All City Plumbers, we get calls from clients in distress due to recurring clogs.

Forcing solid objects down the drain

Flushing diapers, paper towels, wet wipes, and other non-flushable objects down the toilet can cause recurring clogs. Forcing grease, hair, and food down the kitchen and bathroom sinks and drains can choke your clogs. These solid objects can harden and build up creating obstructions within the drains and pipes. Fortunately, drain cleaning in Granada Hills, CA, will unclog your drains and restore full functionality.

Poor or irregular drain cleaning services

Over time, in the absence of professional drain cleaning services , debris, dirt, and grime build-up to cause blockages within the drainage system. Most homeowners turn to home remedies that might cause more harm leading to severe blockage or pipe corrosion. 

We advise clients to schedule professional drain snaking at least twice a year whether or not there are clogs. This will promote proper maintenance of your entire system.

Obsolete plumbing systems

Toilets, bathtubs, and sinks that keep clogging could be utilizing obsolete versions of the drainage systems. Most of these older systems adopted water-utilizing technology that triggers frequent clogs. With insufficient flush pressure, especially in the toilet, it can be completely hard to push waste material past the drains. You could cut back on disposing of large chunks of toilet tissue, find alternative ways to take down non-flushable materials, or call a plumber in Granada Hills, CA, from our team.

If you have been complaining of a clogged drain in your home that seems to reoccur more than usual, perhaps it’s time to call in the professionals. Get in touch with All City Plumbers right away.
