Sinks & Drains
Are your kitchen or bathroom drains slow?
There are few things more refreshing than taking a shower after a long, hard day of work. Unfortunately, if you are dealing with a clogged drain, then those good vibes can quickly turn into frustration.
Granted, you may be able to fix some slow drain problems. On the other hand, many issues require some outside assistance. If you have a seriously clogged drain you can’t fix on your own, then it's time to reach out to a local, licensed professional for help.
At Salt City Plumbing, we will not only eliminate any nasty clogs that have developed in your plumbing system, but we will also install new drains when necessary, as a lasting solution to your drainage issues. Our qualified technicians can accurately diagnose the root cause of the drainage problem, and then promptly start the process of fixing it.
Our local plumbers have lived and worked in Salt Lake City long enough to know where drain clogs commonly develop in this area. Our licensed technicians will even trace clogged drains back to the sewer line if necessary.
Some Common Drainage Issues
While there could be any number of reasons why your sink or tub won't drain like it should, here are just a few of the more common ones we've seen over the years:
Clogged Hair
This is Public Enemy No. 1 when it comes to slow drains, especially in the tub or shower. And it makes sense: you're in the shower, cleaning yourself from top to bottom. You can't stop strands of your hair from coming out, especially if you're scrubbing hard!
Of course, all that hair has to go somewhere, and it usually winds up in (you guessed it): the drain. You may not notice it at first, but over time the accumulation of your hair will cause slow drain issues. Granted, this may be an easy fix if the hair clog is near the top of the drain pipe. However, if the clog has developed further down, you'll need some professional help to get it out.
Soap Scum
Soap scum forms when the fatty acid in your soap bonds with water. That's primarily what causes the "ring" that people sometimes see around the perimeter of their tub.
As far as the drainpipe goes, the build-up of soap scum over time is a very gradual process and isn't easily noticed at first. However, the result can be a drainage problem, since the water flowing down the drain is restricted in its flow.
Other Obstructions
Sometimes the issue is caused by an item that's small enough to fall down the drain, but big enough to get stuck and obstruct water flow. You might think about the proverbial wedding ring that gets lost in the shower — but if you have kids, there's no telling
what
could get stuck down your pipes. From LEGO pieces to rocks and everything in-between, objects that fall down the drain can cause major blockages.
