In our experience, drains are most often clogged by clumps of hair or congealed cooking oils, fats and foodstuffs. Storm drains and underground plumbing, however, can also be clogged by thickening moss or plant root systems that have broken through the walls of the pipes.
Before you call us, you can try a few things yourself. You can go at your drains with a plunger to see if you can loosen the clog yourself or pour a cleaning solution down your drains.
Here’s a non-toxic, environmentally safe drain cleaner recipe for you:
We don’t recommend pouring heavy-duty drain cleaners down your sink unless you know what your pipes are made of — older ceramic pipes might erode and worsen the problem. Even if you have PVC pipes, a drain cleaner might not be the appropriate solution.
