Common Clogs and Their Causes
| Drain | Usual cause | | Kitchen sink | Grease and food scraps | | Bathroom sink | Hair, soap and toothpaste | | Shower or tub | Hair and soap scum | | Laundry | Lint and fabric fibers | | Basement floor drain | Main line blockage or silt |
One slow drain is usually a local clog. Several slow drains at once point to the main line.
Why Chemical Drain Cleaners Are a Bad Idea
Strong drain chemicals can damage older pipes, especially the galvanized and cast iron pipe found in many York homes. They also rarely clear a solid clog and can splash back on whoever opens the drain next. A plumber's cable or jetter removes the clog without harming the pipe.

Call (717) 402-9746How Plumbers Clear Drains
1. Ask about the history of the drain and test it. 2. Use a drain cable (snake) to break up the clog. 3. Use hydro jetting for grease or heavy buildup. 4. Run a camera if the clog keeps returning. 5. Flush and test the line.
Keep Drains Running
- Wipe greasy pans before washing them - Use hair catchers in showers and tubs - Do not flush wipes, even ones labeled flushable - Run hot water after using the kitchen sink - Get a slow drain checked before it stops completely
Same clog coming back? Ask about a camera check.

FAQ
Drain Cleaning FAQs
Why does my basement floor drain back up?
Usually because the main sewer line is partly blocked, so water comes up at the lowest drain in the house.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
A plumber should inspect old pipes first. Jetting is very effective, but fragile pipe may need a gentler method.
How often should drains be cleaned?
Most homes only need it when there is a problem. Homes with repeat clogs may benefit from yearly cleaning.
