Many problems can cause drain
clogs, and the specific problem usually varies depending on which drain we
are talking about. Hair and soap products are the most common agents of bathroom
drain clogs. Hair and soap form sticky goo that can easily clog the drain. Even
small hair particles collect in the drain and form large hair and soap plugs
that work to create a clog. During washing dirt and grime
is removed from the body and contributes to drain blockage formation.
Food and grease are the two biggest agents guilty of causing kitchen drain clogs. Homeowners oten pour grease formed during cooking down the kitchen drain. People who do this make the mistake of believing the liquid grease will continue to flow through the drainage pipes. However, as the grease cools it rapidly turns into sticky fat that adheres to the drain walls. When cooled down the grease turns into a gooey material that readily sticks to the walls of the drain pipe. Eventually the fat deposits solidify and harden and form solid excretions that narrow the tube. With enough repetitive pours the drain clogs. Foods such as rice and pizza swell up as they are exposed to water in the drain. When a large quantity of foods like these are poured down the drain, they can create a blockage within seconds.
Toilet drains are repeatedly exposed to paper products such as tissues, toilet paper, and tampons. All of these, in excess, can easily cause drain clogs. Children at play commonly clog toilets as they toss objects such as rolls of toilet paper, blocks, or even, on occasion, a toilet plunger down the drain.
Just about any cause of a blocked drain in the home will ultimately impact the sewer. In addition to the aforementioned causes of drain clog, outdoor objects including leaves and tree roots can find their way into sewers. Leaves fall into outdoor grates that empty directly into the sewer. Tree roots ingress into sewers through minuscule, holes in the seams. Once inside, the tiny rootlets expand and spread out into immense networks of twisted roots that drink up the sewer water. The large root meshes trap various objects that enter the sewer from the house such as tampons, tissues, soaps, grease, and odd shaped items that get trapped in the mesh. The blockage organizes and thickens and soon slows and then halts the sewer drainage.
