Get Professional Plumber Services to Unblock Your Clogged Drain

A clogged drain is a blockage that can lead to slow drainage, unpleasant odors, and even water backups. These issues can disrupt your daily activities and create unsanitary conditions. Over time, untreated clogs can cause pressure to build up in the pipes, potentially leading to leaks, cracks, or burst pipes that require costly repairs.

Why You Need a Professional to Repair Your Home’s Clogged Drains

Addressing a clogged drain often requires specialized tools and expertise, which is why you should call Degree first. Our professional plumbers use traditional and advanced equipment like drain snakes, hydro-jetting machines, and cameras to locate and remove blockages effectively. They can also identify underlying issues, such as damaged pipes or tree root intrusion, that may contribute to recurring clogs. Attempting DIY solutions without proper knowledge can worsen the problem or damage your plumbing system.

Some typical causes of clogged drains include:

• Hair Build Up: Hair strands often accumulate in drains, especially in bathroom sinks and showers, creating dense clumps that can obstruct water flow. Over time, hair combines with soap and other debris, leading to stubborn blockages.
• Grease and Fat Build Up: Pouring grease, oil, or fat down the kitchen drain can cause clogs as these substances solidify and adhere to the inner walls of pipes. This buildup restricts the flow of water and traps other debris.
• Soap Scum: Traditional soap, especially bar soap, contains fats that can combine with minerals in water to create a sticky residue known as soap scum. This residue can build up in pipes, narrowing the passage for water. This can slow your drain and create a back up of water.
• Food Waste: Food particles, especially fibrous or starchy materials like coffee grounds or pasta, can accumulate in kitchen drains, causing blockages. Even with a garbage disposal, food waste should be disposed of properly.
• Foreign Objects: Items such as cotton balls, wipes, or other non-biodegradable materials can enter drains and create blockages. These objects do not break down easily and can disrupt water flow entirely.
