CLOGGED DRAINS
Kitchen and Bathroom drain pipes can often get build up from hair, food debris, soap residue, and grease resulting in a slow-drain or even a completely clogged drain. Drano and other chemical-based drain cleaners are a NO-NO!!! These chemicals can sometimes cause more damage to your system, even if the clog seems fixed initially.
Stubborn clogs often put up a fight and will require the strength of an electric snake to battle the blockage. The tool has a coiled spiral snake that reaches down into the drain to tackle the obstruction. Our Overland Park plumbers aim to inform customers to why and how the drain clogged to help minimize future backups. Sometimes we will recommend replacing older piping due to rust, cracks, or breaks in the drain system. Our plumbing technicians come ready and prepared to move forward with any decisions you make.

WHY IS MY DRAIN CLOGGED???
- Fats- Oils - Grease It may have been a liquid when you poured it down the sink, but over time, the fat hardens up as it meets the cool interior of the drain, causing annoying clogs. You should dump any kind of grease into an old coffee can and then get rid of it in the garbage.
- Starches Pasta, potatoes, beans, and rice are four common culprits of clogged kitchen sinks. As they expand when exposed to water, they create a paste-like substance that’s an enemy to your pipes. Dispose of these foods in the trash can!
- Food Scraps Food should always go into the garbage disposal, the trash, or the compost because over time, bits and pieces of your dinner can become trapped in the P-trap, that curved pipe under the sink. Celery and other stringy foods should never go into the disposal, as they can get wrapped around the blades. Bones, fruit pits, and eggshells are other no-nos; they’re way too hard.
- Soap Scum Many soaps are made with fats, and when they are mixed with hard minerals found in some water, they can build up a nasty clog in your pipes
- Hair Build Up When you bathe or shower, your hair has nowhere to go but down the drain. As the hair moves down the drain, it can get stuck to the sides of the piping, building up over time and attaching to other materials—like dead skin or scum—creating a barrier for proper drainage.
