Causes of Bathroom Plumbing Clogs

Dependable Service Since 1926

Bathroom clogs are among the most common problems affecting your plumbing systems, and most people try to deal with them with a traditional store-bought cleanser. This can be a big mistake. Cleansers and tools like snakes usually adopt a one-size-fits-all take on the problem, which can only partially solve the issue at best.

Professional services, on the other hand, can use specialized tools to deal with the specific nature of the clog, which means it gets cleared up the right way, with no residue left behind. To give you some idea of the difference that can make, we’ve listed a few of the most common causes of bathroom plumbing clogs below.

  • Human waste. The most common – and most stubborn clogs – is human waste in your toilet, which often includes a great deal of toilet paper along with it.
  • Human hair. Hair can mix with soap and other components in your sink or bathtub drain to create a nasty clog. Hair is very hard to break up, and can remain stuck in place for a long time without a professional to remove it.
  • Toothpaste typically show up in sink drains, and it can congeal together to make a blockage as hard as cement in many cases. In particular, beware of toothpaste forming at the bend of the pipe, where is can often fall without being washed away.
  • Small toys. Believe it or not, homes with small children can experience plumbing blockages when a child playing tosses or flushes a small plastic toy down the drain. Chemical cleansers become particularly problematic in these cases because they can eat away at the toy’s plastic, with toxic side effects.
