You may be experiencing a drain clog for any number of reasons.  Rather than trying to slide a wire down the drain and start blindly tugging on it and hoping for results, consider reaching out to the plumber Clifton Park NY looks to for drain cleaning.  We have all the necessary equipment to snake your home’s drains and check the setup of the plumbing system while we’re at it.  Our professional plumbers are constantly pulling hair and debris out of the pipes to make sure water is flowing smoothly in and out of your residence.  We don’t recommend any of the DIY drain cleaning methods because many times it causes more problems than it fixes.  Blocked or slow drains are often caused by:

  • Grease – Grease is a biproduct of many things you cook on the stove and it should be disposed of properly, which does not include sending it down the drain in the sink.  Grease and other cooking oils tend to accumulate in the pipes as they dry on the inner walls, blocking water flow and causing numerous plumbing problems.
  • Broken Pipes – Like anything else, piping only stays perfect for so long before it begins to wear down.  Constant use exposes plumbing pipes to rust and corrosion which can cause it to leak or burst.  Whether it’s in your home or in the backyard, a backup of wastewater is not a pleasant experience and can lead to damage and expensive repairs.
  • Tree Root Blockages – You may be surprised to learn that tree roots are one of the most frequent reasons for pipe blockages in home plumbing systems.  All you need is a small leak and tree roots will begin to grow toward the water source, making their way into the pipes.  It’s amazing how something made of wood can so easily destroy metal piping.  The sooner a qualified plumber identifies the issue, the less it will cost you to fix it.  Ignoring blocked pipes can lead to serious damage that requires excavation.
  • Flushing Things Other Than Toilet Paper – Toilet paper and tissues are the only things you should be flushing down the toilet.  Food, paper products, and anything that is not biodegradable may cause blockages in the piping and prevent water from being extracted properly.  Preventing clogs is as easy as using the trash instead of the toilet to get rid of items that don’t break down naturally.​
