3 Causes of Clogged Drains and What to Do

Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing complaints. Understanding what causes them can help you prevent them.

1. Hair and Soap Scum

In bathrooms, hair and soap scum are the #1 cause of slow or clogged drains. Use a drain guard and clean it regularly.

In the kitchen, grease and food particles build up over time. Never pour grease down the drain — let it solidify and throw it away.

Wipes, cotton balls, and other items should never be flushed. If you have a stubborn clog, call Air & Energy at 941-778-0773.
