Do You Have a Clogged Drain in Your Northern Virginia Home?

When a drain becomes clogged, the longer you let it sit, the worse things can become for you and your home. Drain blockages that are ignored can worsen as time goes on, oftentimes leading to a complete lack of drainage and eventual replacement of drain lines. If water is draining slower than it should be, give us a ring and let one of our plumbers take a look for you.

Common Causes of a Clogged Drain

Over time, the drains and plumbing pipes in your home can become clogged with things that should’ve never gone down the drain in the first place. Some of the most common causes of clogs include:



• Tree roots: Even a small crack in your underground pipes could allow a tree root to work its way inside. Scheduling regular inspections will help you find any potential issues early.
• "Flushable" wipes: Even if a product markets itself as "flushable," the only things you should ever flush are human waste, water, and toilet paper.
• Fats, oils, and grease: These substances are incredibly dangerous for your pipes. They tend to stick, and provide a great surface for additional objects and waste to get caught.
• Soap scum: Most bars of soap are made with fat, which binds to the minerals in your water and leave behind a residue that can build up and form a blockage.
