What is the most common cause of a clogged drain? Services

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) related to plumbing:


What is the most common cause of a clogged drain?

The most common cause of a clogged drain is the accumulation of hair, soap scum, grease, food particles, and other debris over time.


How can I prevent clogged drains?

To prevent clogged drains, use drain screens or stoppers to catch hair and large debris, avoid pouring grease down the sink, and refrain from flushing non-flushable items down the toilet.


Why does my faucet drip even when it’s turned off?

A dripping faucet is often caused by a worn-out or damaged washer or O-ring inside the faucet handle. Replacing these components typically resolves the issue.


What should I do if my toilet keeps running?

If your toilet keeps running, it may indicate a problem with the flapper valve or the float inside the toilet tank. Adjusting or replacing these parts can stop the continuous running.


How can I prevent frozen pipes in winter?

To prevent frozen pipes during winter, insulate exposed pipes, keep cabinet doors under sinks open to allow warm air circulation, and let faucets drip slightly during extremely cold temperatures.


Why does my water heater not produce enough hot water?

Insufficient hot water may be due to a faulty heating element, a sediment buildup in the tank, or an incorrectly set thermostat. A plumber can diagnose and fix the issue.


How often should I have my septic tank pumped?

The frequency of septic tank pumping depends on the size of the tank and the number of occupants in the house. As a general guideline, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years.


What should I do if I have a water leak in my home?

If you discover a water leak, turn off the water supply to the affected area immediately to prevent further damage. Then, call a plumber to locate and repair the leak.


How can I improve water pressure in my home?

Low water pressure may be caused by sediment buildup, a partially closed water shut-off valve, or issues with the water main. A plumber can assess the problem and recommend appropriate solutions.


Do I need a professional plumber for DIY plumbing repairs?

While some minor plumbing repairs can be done by homeowners, more complex or extensive issues require the expertise of a professional plumber to ensure safety and proper resolution.
