What causes clogged drains?
Drains can become clogged due to a variety of reasons, such as food scraps, grease, soap buildup, hair, tree roots or foreign objects getting stuck in the pipes.

Regular drain cleaning helps to remove buildup and prevent common causes of clogs. While it can reduce the risk of future issues, following proper maintenance and avoiding harmful substances down the drain can also help keep your plumbing in top condition.
