Why Do Drains Get Clogged?

You rely on your drains to take care of daily tasks, such as personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, or washing clothes. Over time, your pipes may become corroded or collect minerals on their walls. When a foreign object passes through them, it can get caught inside. Through continually using your system, these items can build up, causing a blockage.

Although you might be careful about what goes in your drains, foreign objects can also get washed down them, such as:

• Hair
• Grease
• Food
• Dirt
• Other forms of debris

Additionally, tree roots can also clog your drains in search of water. The roots might push into tiny cracks or fissures in the pipes. As they multiply and grow, they can cause the drain to clog, or they can cause a blockage by preventing small objects from freely passing through the pipe.

How Can You Tell If You Have a Blocked Drain?

Your plumbing system might be acting up, but how do you know that a drain cleaning service will take care of it? Several signs indicate that the pipes are clogged. Some of the most common include:

Water flowing slowly: Generally, drain blockages develop slowly as foreign objects accumulate in them. Still, in some cases, a large item might have gotten stuck in your drain. Either way, the pipe might have a small opening for water flow. However, the space isn't large enough to allow high volumes of water. Because of this, water will take a long time to leave your sinks, shower, toilet, or other plumbing equipment.

Gurgling sounds: When a pipe is blocked, air can get trapped inside it. The sound you hear is the air making its way up the clogged drain.

Unpleasant odors: A blockage prevents food and other objects from getting flushed out of your system. As the items sit in your pipes, they can rot or collect bacteria, which can cause foul odors.

How Do You Clear a Clogged Drain?

The method used for drain cleaning depends on where the problem is and what's causing it. When you call FCS Mechanical for your drainage issue, we'll begin by locating the source of the clog by running a camera through your system. Once we know what's wrong, we can recommend solutions to make it right. A couple of the techniques for clearing drains include:

Snaking: This process involves running a cable down the drain. The cable spins down the line, removing debris or roots within.

Hydro jetting: This method uses a machine and hose that force highly pressurized water through the drain. It breaks down almost all gunk buildup, leaving the pipes especially clean.

Clearing Out Blockages in Your Plumbing System

If water is flowing slowly or not at all in your commercial property, it might be time for a drain cleaning service. Various things can cause drain blockages, such as debris buildup, damaged pipes, or root growth. Whether the problem is in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or outside, ignoring it can lead to more significant issues later.

For example, wastewater could flow back into your property, threatening the health of you and your customers, or a pipe could burst in your yard, leading to flooding and expensive repairs. If you notice your plumbing system acting up, contact a professional immediately. They can take care of the matter and restore your business's comfort and safety.
