Causes of Clogged Drains

Mechanical clogging - This can be caused by toilet paper, wet wipes, and hygiene products. This mainly applies to toilet drains.

Mechanical clogging of kitchen waste, including dishwasher waste - It can occur if larger pieces of food remnants, bones, uncrushed waste, hair, or solid fat enter the drain pipes.

Non-dissolvable substances - Paints and oils, including food fats, should not be disposed of in the drain and should be disposed of separately. They can accumulate in the drainage pipes and easily cause clogs.

Construction waste - It can enter the waste either accidentally or due to the irresponsible actions of construction workers. However, it can also happen that residues of sand and cement easily settle in the waste, even after cleaning very dirty areas.

Mechanical damage - It doesn't occur nearly as often as mechanical clogging with dirt and solid objects, but drain pipes can also become clogged due to mechanical damage. This is most likely to occur with old and poorly maintained installations, and in such cases, a clogged drain may also be associated with water leakage, which may not be immediately apparent but is all the more dangerous, as the leaking wastewater can damage the masonry.

Limescale - Even if you're careful not to let anything inappropriate enter the drain, drain pipes can become clogged with limescale over time. This is especially likely if you have hard water. Hard water causes lime deposits to accumulate on the walls of pipes, gradually reducing their flow, and can eventually lead to complete blockage.

How to Solve a Clogged Drain?

You can often solve a clogged drain problem yourself, especially if it's not a widespread issue. You can use a drain plunger or, if the drain is easily accessible and you're a bit handy, it's not difficult to disassemble the trap and mechanically remove impurities. Another option is to use commonly available chemical products. If DIY cleaning didn't work, it's time to turn to professionals.

FAQ

When can I attempt to solve a clogged drain problem myself, and when is it better to call a professional company?

You can easily solve a small-scale problem yourself using a drain plunger or a plumber's snake, which is available at most hardware stores. If that doesn't work, you can consider using chemical substances. Sodium hydroxide is commonly used.

Attempts to unclog the drain on your own have been unsuccessful.
The drain repeatedly gets clogged.
Damage has occurred to the drain pipes.
There is a leakage of wastewater.
The clog is not easily accessible - for example, underground or within walls.
