Call for Clogged Drain Cleaning Services throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area

The Scottish Plumber’s majority of calls come from slow drains or clogged drains. We see minor clogs in the tub or shower and kitchen sink clogs. We see whole house clogs where the main sewer line is clogged causing all the drains in the home to back up.

Below are tips to help prevent slow or clogged drains:

• Install drain covers for all your drains. Hair is the number one cause of slow drains.
• Let grease cool and put it into a container for disposal in the garbage can.
• Do not put grease or oil in drains or the toilet.

Clogged Drain Prevention for Chicagoland Homes

Many clogs are caused by paper towels or tissues that were put in the toilet when the household ran out of toilet paper. Tissues and paper towels are made to hold up when wet, and don’t dissolve as easily as toilet paper, when they go down the toilet they can cause a back up. Don’t flush feminine, personal or baby wipes…they may say they are flushable but they can cause the drains to clog.

A big wad of toilet paper flushed down the toilet may cause problems, as well as toys, shampoo lids, and fish tank gravel. Be careful what you kids flush down the toilet. They are fascinated by toilets and drains. Try to educate your household about the tips listed above.

Going against the tips above may not cause a problem immediately but eventually it will. Grease, soap scum, hair and debris stick to the insides of the pipe causing it to narrow over time and eventually it becomes too narrow to handle what it used to.
