What Causes Drain Clogs?

Drain blockages develop gradually as debris accumulates along pipe walls. Common causes include:

  • Grease and food waste
  • Soap residue and hair
  • Paper products and hygiene items
  • Mineral scale buildup
  • Foreign objects
  • Tree root intrusion in deeper lines

Identifying the clog source helps determine the most effective cleaning method.

“Referred by my family”
“At a family recommendation, I called Mallick Plumbing to get a new ball valve, piping and pressure valves, all of which had minor leaks. A few days after the call, our technician, Luis, came out right on time and started work immediately. He was very professional and efficient at getting these fixes completed. He kept the area clean and answered a few questions about the install. I would definitely recommend Mallick Plumbing. Very reasonable price for professional quality work!”

Frequent chemical use can damage pipes and is not recommended for long-term maintenance.
