Common Drain Cleaning Questions:
How can I prevent clogged drains?
Do not rinse fats or cooking oils down the kitchen sink.
Liquid fats solidify in the cold pipes and create clogs. To help prevent clogs, fit all your tubs and shower drains
with a strainer that catches hair and soap chips, and clean the strainer regularly.
What causes my kitchen
sink and washing machine drains to clog?
In most homes, the kitchen and laundry drains are connected. When the
lint from the laundry drains meets the grease buildup from soap and food products, a nearly solid substance is formed, causing
blockage. Using filters and strainers will help, but you’ll also need to get the drains snaked periodically as
well.
What can I do about a sewer line blockage?
The main culprit is tree roots, and once
they’ve blocked the line, there is very little you can do. A plumbing professional can snake the line to get it
as clear as possible, and then use copper sulfide products to kill the remaining vegetation. But odds are the sewer
line will most likely need to be replaced.
Are caustic liquid drain openers (like Drano or Liquid
Plumber) harmful to pipes?
For minor clogs, they’re fine, but never use them on a drain that is completely
clogged. The caustic ingredients are trapped in your pipes, and it can severely damage them. If you can’t snake
the drain yourself, call Catons to do so. Never use caustic drain openers in a drain that has a garbage disposal.
