We regularly use our sinks in washing dishes, kitchen wares, cleaning vegetables and other ingredients for cooking and a lot more. Also, tubs are usually being used for taking a bath to maintain proper hygiene, while the toilet handles proper waste disposal. We find it very inconvenient once our drains are clogged. When you ignore minor issues in your drains, it will get worse later on. In this article we will discuss the culprits that cause clogged drains.

Build-up of Hair

One of the reasons of blocked drain is the build-up of hair. The hairs are collected inside the pipe and knit together to jam dirt, substance and grease to clog. The wastewater cannot flow smoothly in the pipes going into the main facility. You can prevent hair blockage by placing a trap tool to catch the hair preventing entrance into the drain system.

Soap Residue

Soap can cause clogged drains. Soap bars contain fats and grease. When the soap is mixed with the water, it forms a solid residue. You can see the dried soap scum in your sinks, bath tubs and bathroom. When these scums are accumulated inside your drain, they become clogged. Instead of using bar soap you can shift to liquid soap. Consult an expert drain cleaner to appropriately clean out the soap residue in your pipe.

Food Waste and Dirt

After using your utensils, plates, kitchen wares and other, you clean everything in the sink to get rid the dirt. The solid dirt, grease and food waste should be dumped in the trash can for proper waste disposal management and to avoid pipe blockage.

Tissue paper and Small Items

Small items, mostly cause a clogged sink and drain, while tissue paper is prone to cause toilet issue. Contact skilled professionals to fix and remove the blockage in your pipelines.

A Sewer System is consisting of interconnected pipelines carrying sewage. The wastewaters from residential, commercial, industrial and storm waters flow through the pipelines going to the treatment facility. Homeowners and business owners are responsible for the installation, repair and maintenance of your own sewer connection point. Once there is a leak and clog in your pipe line, it is your obligation to fix the issue.

The three types of Sewer System:

·         Combined Sewer System – is a centralized pipe that collects the wastewater and rain water. The excess water will be directed to the overflow structure.

·         Separated Sewer System – is consist of two different pipes to separate the wastewater from rain water or storm water. The sanitary sewer pipeline is where the wastewater flows while the rain water runs on the storm sewer pipeline. Both pipelines reach the treatment facility for water refinement.

·         Partially Separate Sewer System - merges the advantages of separate and combine sewer system.

When your sewer pipes are clogged, it will complicate the issue once the heavy rains come. Rain water increases the ground water and will penetrate your pipes  to cause incorrect water flow to the sewer main. Flooding in your home or establishment, driveways and surrounding areas may happen because of faulty pipes. What maintenance needed for Sewer Drainage System before rainy season? Maintenance is essential to keep your sewer system always working. This will guarantee awareness about your residential or commercial pipeline status. Professional technicians undergo an inspection in your sewer drain lines or pipes in your home, commercial establishment and industrial. They will clean your sewer lines and storm drains. Other applicable things they will do such as pump the pipe to be unclogged, repair, replacement of faulty pipe and others.
