Kitchen drains typically clog from grease, food debris, and soap buildup that accumulates over time. When you wash dishes, small food particles and cooking oils go down the drain and stick to pipe walls, gradually restricting water flow until you get a complete blockage.
Bathroom drains usually clog from hair, soap residue, and personal care products. Hair combines with soap scum to create tough clogs that get worse over time. Shower and bathtub drains are especially prone to this type of buildup.
In New Era Park, we also see clogs caused by tree roots infiltrating older sewer lines and mineral deposits from hard water. These problems develop slowly but can cause serious backups if not addressed by professional cleaning equipment.
