Whether you are dealing with a persistent slow bathtub drain or a garbage disposal that makes more noise than a high fidelity stereo, a Chicago plumber or Villa Park plumber at The Scottish Plumber is eager to investigate your Chicago plumbing issues and find a cost-effective, timely solution.

Last week’s Chicago plumber tip focused on drain blockages, of which there are two main types – hard blockages and soft blockages. Let’s take a closer look at what causes soft drain blockages and how the Chicago plumbers at The Scottish Plumber deal with these soft blockages.

Soft drain blockages settle into Chicago drains and sewers all the time. Although soft blockages are usually less dense than hard blockages, such as Chicago sewer roots, the soft blockages can sometimes be harder to remove. Unlike hard blockages, soft blockages are often composed of solid debris such as soap residue combined with liquid debris such as body oil. Soft blockages require diligent drain cleaning to help loosen the blockage material.

For all of our Chicago drain cleaning customers and Villa Park drain cleaning customers who are reading this article, we apologize if we are making you nauseous, but do not fret – our Chicago plumbers will handle all of the gritty details of clearing soft drain blockages. A great way to combat soft drain blockages is with The Scottish Plumber’s $99 drain cleaning package.
