The Causes of Clogged Drains and How to Fix Them….

As you know clogged pipes are already having a visual connection, but the symptoms, causes, and treatment for these two conditions share their parallels.

By understanding how your pipes work, the risk factors involved, and how these mechanisms closely resemble the blood vessels of the body, you can responsibly maintain your home’s pipes and possibly monitor your own health as well. Often times this sort of reoccurring problem can be fixed and prevented with simple cleaning and occasional maintenance. Here is all you need to know to fix and prevent your sink from filling up with water when you run your dishwasher. There are common causes of clogged drains and when you are familiar with these you will then be able to avoid as many as possible. There are some causes for clogged drains that will not be able to be avoided but you should be able to understand what needs to be done to fix this problem so that you are able to determine if you are able to fix the problem yourself or if you are going to need the assistance of plumbing contractors.

Causes of clogged Drains:-

• There are a number of common factors that can contribute a need for drain cleaning. Soap by itself is not a problem, but soap combined with hair can become an issue. Another common problem is quilted toilet paper, which doesn't break apart as easily as non-quilted brands. Starchy vegetables, oils, fats, grease, and hair can also be common items that lead to unwanted drain clogs.
  
• Another major cause is the drain plug on your garbage disposal. The drain plug covers the hole where the garbage disposal is connected to your dishwasher and if left on the garbage disposal it can result in water not properly draining from your dishwasher. This problem generally occurs when a new garbage disposal is recently installed. Simple remove the drain plug from the garbage disposal to resolve this problem.

• As you know corroded pipes tend to create the perfect preconditions for clogs to form. The most common causes of corroded pipes are water with low or high pH, the presence of salts or sulfates, suspended solids, excessively high temperatures or flow rates, bacteria or chemical related corrosion, and improper installation, among others.
  
• Toilet drains aren’t the only drains in your home that can become clogged. Your bath tub for example can clog up if you don’t remove hair from the trap before it has a chance to get into the drain. Soap scum and debris can also get into the drains and cause clogs if you’re not careful. Occasionally pouring hot water down the drain can remove much of this gunk, but if a clog does develop you’ll need to call in a professional.
  
• Poor installation can result in costly pipe and drain blockages. Whilst DIY methods can be money saving and an ‘easy’ part of a home renovation, installing your own pipes isn’t recommended. This can lead to problems like incorrect water flow or fractured pipes.
