Clogged sinks and drains are the most common service calls we receive, so you’re not alone. Drain clogs happen for many reasons and stoppages can occur anywhere, from the easily-accessible piping under sinks to further down the main drain lines.

If you notice water backing up in the lower drains in your home like your tub and shower drains, then you have a main-line stoppage. Main line stoppages are different than a simple drain clog because they occur in the horizontal sewer pipe that runs underneath your home. If you are experiencing water backing up in your home, visit our Sewer Stoppage & Repair page.

In the kitchen, food waste is the major culprit in clogged sinks. Sudden clogs often can be fixed by clearing the P-trap under the sink, but food particles and grease can also build up further along the line. This sludge can slow and finally clog kitchen sinks.

In bathrooms, hair and soap residue cause slow draining tubs and showers which, over time, can clog completely. And toilets are prone to a number of stoppages along the lines.

When all else fails, John Moore Drain Specialist utilize a system called “drain jetting.”

Jetting is a method used by professional plumbing contractors to clean clogged or slow sewage lines. A blast of water at high pressure is sent into the lines that will usually remove blockages and build up.

Never pour grease down the kitchen sink. Let it harden then dispose of it in the trash. Ditto coffee grounds.

Flush kitchen and bathroom sinks with hot water for one minute after use heavy use.

Use a drain screen or grate to catch hair and soap residue in tubs and showers. Your John Moore plumber can assist with selection and fit.
