What Causes Drain Clogs?

Most drain problems don't develop overnight. In many cases, clogs form gradually as debris accumulates inside pipes and restricts water flow.

At JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air, we help homeowners resolve all types of drain issues, from minor slowdowns to complete blockages.

Some of the most common causes of clogged drains include:

• Grease and food waste – Kitchen drains frequently become clogged when grease, fats, oils, and food particles are washed down the sink. These things are notorious for sticking to pipe walls and creating stubborn blockages.
• Hair and soap residue – Bathroom drains often collect hair, soap scum, and personal care products that gradually restrict water flow and cause slow drainage.
• Foreign objects – Paper towels, wipes, hygiene products, and other non-flushable materials can quickly create significant drain and sewer line blockages.
• Mineral buildup – The Greater Sacramento Area's hard water can contribute to mineral deposits forming inside plumbing pipes. These deposits can narrow pipe openings and increase the likelihood of clogs.
• Tree root intrusion – Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can find their way into underground sewer lines through small cracks or joints, eventually causing drainage problems.
• Aging or damage – Older plumbing systems may experience corrosion, pipe deterioration, or structural issues that contribute to recurring drain problems, clogs among them.

Are you dealing with slow drains, recurring backups, foul odors, or unusual gurgling sounds? Don’t let the issue persist. The sooner you contact JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air, the better off you’ll be. We can help you avoid a full-blown backup that risks property damage or health hazards.

Assessment

Before we ever get started, we’ll locate the cause of the clog and tell you what we’ve found. We use precision diagnostic techniques to find the source(s) of drainage issues, whether they’re close to the drain or somewhere deeper in a plumbing system.

After the assessment, we’ll tell you what it’ll take to clear the blockage. We’ll also provide upfront, flat-rate pricing. There’s no guesswork with us.

Camera Inspection

For persistent or especially serious drain issues, we can conduct a camera inspection.

Generally, we’ll do this when:

• Clogs won’t seem to go away
• The concern is with your main sewer or water line
• You’re considering buying a house
• After clearing a serious clog to make certain we’ve done the job right

Our camera technologies show us exactly what’s going on in drains. You can also see the video, so you won’t have to just take our word for it when we tell you there’s damage or blockages in your plumbing system.

Cleaning

For most clogs, we’ll use drain cables, which cut through buildup, pull out debris, and effectively clear lines. When a blockage is especially serious, we’ll go with hydro jetting. This utilized high-pressure water to scour the inside of a pipe. For specific toilets, we may use a closet auger. This can get past the trap without scratching the porcelain.

Regardless of the method, we’ll make sure your drain is flowing as if it were new.

Prevention

Yes, we can help you solve today’s problem. But you deserve lasting peace of mind. That’s why we’ll provide honest, straightforward recommendations for preventing future clogs.

We’ll outline what we found, what caused it, and what you can do to steer clear of similar problems. Sometimes the answer is periodic cleaning. In other instances, you could benefit from piping repairs or replacements.

Often, customers sign up for our Whole Home Care Membership, which comes with an annual plumbing inspection, as well as other comfort system maintenance services. Signing up has other perks, including priority services and discounts on necessary repairs.
