Common Causes of Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing issues. Understanding what causes them can help you avoid expensive repairs in the future. Here are the main reasons your drains might backup and what you can do about them:
Hair buildup
Hair often gets stuck in bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers. Over time, it clumps together and blocks the flow of water. Use a drain screen to catch hair before it goes down.
Grease and oil
Pouring cooking grease down the kitchen sink is a major mistake. It hardens inside the pipes and traps food particles. Make sure to wipe grease into the trash instead.
Food waste
Even if you have a garbage disposal, things like coffee grounds, rice, pasta, and eggshells should never go down the drain. They swell up and block the line.
Soap scum
Some soaps contain fats that mix with water minerals, creating a thick residue. This builds up in pipes and reduces water flow. Switching to liquid soap or using drain cleaners can help.
Non-flushable objects
Kids’ toys, wipes, cotton swabs, and paper towels don’t belong in the toilet or drains. These can easily cause a full blockage.
Tree roots
In older GTA homes, roots can grow into underground pipes through small cracks. This slows drainage and can lead to major backups. Regular inspections help catch this earlier.
Signs You Have a Clogged Drain
A clogged drain doesn’t always show itself right away. But if you pay close attention, your home will give you signs before things get worse. Catching the problem early can save you time, money, and a lot of stress. Here are the most common signs that you might have a clogged drain in your home:
Slow-draining water
If your sink, tub, or shower takes longer than usual to drain, that’s often the first warning. A slow drain means something is partially blocking the pipe. This could be hair, grease, soap scum, or even food particles. Ignoring this sign may lead to a complete blockage.
Weird sounds
When water struggles to pass through a clogged pipe, it pushes air back up. That trapped air creates gurgling or bubbling noises in your drain. You might hear it from the sink, toilet, or tub. If you notice this sound often, your drain needs attention.
Unpleasant smells
Blocked drains tend to collect waste, grease, and bacteria. These materials break down and cause bad smells that come up through your drain. If your kitchen or bathroom suddenly smells musty or foul, the drain might be the cause.
Standing water
Water pooling around your feet during a shower or sitting in the sink after washing dishes is a clear sign. Standing water means your drain isn’t doing its job. The clog might be deep or severe at this stage.
Water backups
When you flush the toilet and water backs up into the tub, or you run the washing machine and water spills out of the floor drain, it’s time to call a plumber. Backups usually point to a clog in the main line, which affects multiple drains at once.
Toilet not flushing properly
If your toilet doesn’t flush fully or needs multiple tries, that may mean a blockage in the drainpipe. Sometimes, this goes beyond just a toilet issue and can signal a bigger problem in your plumbing system.
Overflow from nearby drains
Sometimes, using one fixture affects another. For example, running the bathroom sink might cause water to rise in the tub. That cross-impact is a sign that the drainage system is blocked or overloaded.
