Does your sink drain slower and slower every day? Do you ever peer down the drain and wonder what on earth is down there, making the water drain so slowly? There are many reasons your drains can get clogged. Here are some of the top reasons you might need to have a good drain cleaning for your Portland, OR, home.
Hair buildup
Hair is one of the most common reasons for your drains to back up. Hair can combine with sticky substances and greases to clog up the drain. The best way to avoid hair clogs is to keep the hair from getting in the drain. Keeping all hair from getting in is impossible, but using screens for shower and sink drains can make a huge difference.
Soap scum
A lot of soaps contain fat or grease. When soap goes down the drain, it mixes with the minerals in the water and eventually causes a buildup of soap scum. As the soap scum gets thicker, it restricts water flow. Pressure cleaning is one of the types of Drain Cleaning in Portland, OR residents often use to get rid of soap scum buildup in their homes.
Small objects
Small objects like toys and jewelry can fall into drains unexpectedly. If it gets stuck, good luck. A small object creates a trap for other debris like hair to build up. Before that happens, call in a professional to clear out the drain.
