Several factors can contribute to blocked drains, including:
- Hair and Soap Residue: In bathrooms, hair and soap scum can accumulate and create stubborn clogs.
- Food Waste: In kitchen sinks, disposing of grease, oils, and fibrous foods can lead to significant blockages over time.
- Foreign Objects: Items that accidentally fall into drains, such as toys or sanitary products, can cause immediate blockages.
- Tree Roots: In some cases, invasive tree roots can penetrate sewer lines, leading to severe clogs and potential damage to your plumbing system.
