In-depth Look at Drain Blockage Causes and Their Signs

Invasion by Tree Roots: One of the most common culprits behind blocked drains is the intrusion of tree roots into your plumbing lines. These roots, in search of moisture, can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in the pipes, gradually expanding and obstructing the flow. This natural intrusion not only disrupts water drainage but can also cause significant damage to the infrastructure of your plumbing system.
Sags or Dips in the Line: Over time, sections of your sewer line may sag or develop dips due to ground movement, soil conditions, or erosion. These low spots collect waste and debris, leading to standing sewage that impedes the normal flow. Such blockages are not just a nuisance but can also become breeding grounds for bacteria, posing health risks.
Corrosion in Old Sewer Lines: Aging pipes made of metal are prone to corrosion, leading to weakened structures that can collapse or cause blockages. The corrosion inside the pipe narrows the passageway, significantly reducing the efficiency of waste transportation. In severe cases, these pipes can rupture, causing extensive property damage and necessitating costly repairs.
Non-Flushable Items: Everyday items such as wipes, feminine hygiene products, and cotton swabs may seem harmless but are a leading cause of sewer line blockages. Unlike toilet paper, these products do not disintegrate easily in water, leading to accumulations that can clog pipes. Educating households on what shouldn’t go down the drain is a crucial preventive measure.
Grease Buildup: The kitchen sink is a common battleground for drain cleaning, primarily due to the accumulation of grease and fat. These substances, while liquid when hot, solidify upon cooling, clinging to the inner walls of the pipes. Over time, this buildup can lead to significant blockages, affecting not just the kitchen sink but potentially the main sewer line as well.

Identifying the Signs of a Clogged Sewer Line

Recognizing the early signs of a clogged sewer line can save you from the inconvenience and potential damage of a full-blown plumbing disaster.

Standing Water: The presence of standing water in your yard, especially around a cleanout pipe, signals a blockage in your sewer line that prevents water from flowing as it should. This often creates soggy patches in your garden or lawn, which can attract pests and create unpleasant odors.
Gurgling Noises: If you hear gurgling sounds from your toilets or sinks when running water, it’s a clear indication of air being trapped and then released within your plumbing system. This symptom suggests a partial or complete blockage in your drains, disrupting the normal water flow.
Slow Draining Sinks or Toilets: One of the most obvious signs of a problem is water draining more slowly than usual. This slow drainage, often accompanied by a gurgling sound, indicates a blockage that, if not addressed, can lead to more severe backups.
Low Water Level in Toilets: An unusually low water level in your toilet bowl can be another sign of a clogged sewer line. It indicates a disruption in the sewer line’s vacuum, affecting the water’s ability to remain at its normal level.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Clogged Drains in Sonoma County

How do you unclog a drain?

There are several ways to get your drain flowing again. 3 of the most common ways are, chemicals, drain snake, and hydro jet. Here at Yorkshire Plumbing and Drains, we usually start with a drain snake and go from there.

Are chemicals safe to use in my plumbing?

We do not recommend using chemicals on your drainage system. This is because it can cause the pipes to become fragile and slowly eat through the lines. This is especially true for older homes with galvanized pipes.

How much does it cost to unclog a drain?

The cost to unclog a drain is a variable cost and is based on the complexity of the job, access to the pipe, and the amount of work needed to get it flowing again. Generally, you would be in the range of $150 to $500. Give us a call and we can come out to your house and provide a quote on the spot with no obligations. Yorkshire Plumbing always provides upfront pricing with options to suit your needs.

Is there anything I can do to prevent my drains clogging?

The best action to take to prevent clogs is to not put anything down your drains that was not meant to be there. All kitchen scraps should go in the garbage or compost, and a garbage disposal does not help your kitchen drain. Avoid putting any wipes down the toilet, and “flushable” wipes do not break down like toilet paper and will cause problems further down the line.
