3 Causes of Clogged Drains and What to Do

Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners face. Here are three common causes and what you can do about them.

1. Hair and Soap Buildup

In bathroom drains, hair and soap scum combine to form stubborn clogs. Use a drain cover to catch hair before it goes down the drain, and clean it regularly.

2. Grease and Food Debris

In kitchen sinks, grease, oil, and food particles build up over time inside pipes. Never pour grease down the drain — let it cool and dispose of it in the trash instead.

3. Foreign Objects

Items that don’t belong in drains — like wipes, cotton swabs, or toy pieces — can cause serious blockages. If a drain is already clogged, contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 for professional plumbing service in Bradenton.
