Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can be a frustrating and disruptive issue for homeowners, and understanding the common causes of these blockages is crucial. At F.J. Murphy & Son, Inc., we specialize in professional drain cleaning services and are well-equipped to handle any clog, whether big or small. The most frequent culprits behind blocked drains include foreign objects, grease and fat, tree roots, mineral buildup, and toilet paper and hygiene products. To break it down further, items like hair and soap scum accidentally washed down the drain can accumulate and obstruct the flow. Pouring grease or fat down the sink may seem harmless, but it can congeal in the pipes, creating a stubborn blockage. Intrusive tree roots seeking moisture and nutrients can infiltrate sewer lines, while hard water can leave mineral deposits in pipes, reducing water flow over time. Flushing excessive toilet paper or non-flushable hygiene products can also lead to toilet blockages. Our professionals are skilled at identifying and clearing these blockages efficiently.
