What Causes Drain Clogs?
Many everyday items can contribute to clogged drains. Here are some of the most common culprits:
- Hair: Hair is a leading cause of clogged drains, especially in showers and bathtubs.
- Grease and Food Particles: Grease and food particles can solidify and build up on the inside of your pipes, causing blockages.
- Soap Scum: Soap scum can combine with hair and other debris to form clogs, particularly in bathtubs and sinks.
- Mineral Buildup: Over time, hard water minerals can build up on the inside of your pipes, narrowing the passage and leading to slow drains.
- Foreign Objects: Unfortunately, accidental drops of toys, jewelry, or other small objects can also cause clogs.
How Can J&M Plumbers Help?
Our plumbers use a variety of methods to safely and effectively remove drain clogs, depending on the severity of the clog and its location.
- Drain Augering: A drain auger, also known as a plumbing snake, is a long, flexible metal cable with a corkscrew-shaped tip. It is inserted into the drain to break up and remove clogs.
- Hydro-Jetting: This method uses a high-pressure stream of water to blast away clogs and clear even the toughest blockages. It’s particularly effective for stubborn clogs caused by grease buildup or mineral deposits.
- Video Camera Inspection: In some cases, a video camera inspection may be necessary to identify the exact location and nature of the clog. This allows our plumbers to target the problem precisely and choose the most effective cleaning method.

Preventing Clog Formation
Here are a few tips to help prevent clogged drains in the future:
- Install drain covers in your sinks and tubs to trap hair and other debris.
- Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain. Let it cool and solidify, then dispose of it in the trash.
- Don’t flush anything other than toilet paper and human waste down the toilet.
- Regularly clean your drains with a natural drain cleaner or a commercial product specifically designed for your type of drain.

We arrived at the job site to find a leak from the upstairs bathroom down to the kitchen ceiling. We removed the toilet, inspected the 3-inch cast iron drain pipe with a camera, and found scale buildup. We proceeded to run the 3-inch descaler machine to remove the scale buildup.
