Bathroom drains are commonly clogged by hair – shedding in the sink, shower, or tub causes common blockages

Soap and detergent build up in the bathroom and kitchen – they leave behind a residue that slowly accumulates over time

Food waste (including particles and grease) cause kitchen backups, so avoid the mess and opt for the trashcan when possible

Always check for small objects like jewelry, toys, and other items near your sink and drains – hair ties, rings, necklaces, charms, children’s or pet’s toys, and more all cause accidents

Tree roots are an unexpected but common pipe blockage that can invade pipes, especially old or damaged pipes

Non-Degradable items including baby wipes, sanitary products, pads, tampons, and paper towels all clog toilets and sewer lines
