The number one plumbing concern most New York City homeowners have to deal with is clogged pipes. Whether it’s a toilet that won’t flush or a sink that won’t drain, clogged pipes are a messy inconvenience. Here’s what you need to know about clogged pipes:
Clog Fact #1: Clogs Can Form From Virtually Anything
Drainage pipes are meant to carry water and waste material away from your home. To work ideally, these pipes need to be wide open and clear. Unfortunately, materials of various types – hair, soap residue, grease, as well as any unusual objects that make it down the drain – build up together, forming a clog that prevents water from passing through.
Clog Fact #2: Trying to Unclog a Clog Can Be a Messy Job
Before you reach for that plunger, know this: some clogs are stubborn. Many clogs smell bad, and they’re all pretty messy. If you don’t mind dirty, stinky water and mess, and you’ve got lots of time with nothing better to do, you can try to resolve the clog on your own. Be aware that the plunger doesn’t always work – and many of the DIY drain cleaning chemical solutions available online or from home improvement stores take a very long time to work and don’t prevent your clog from recurring.
