1. Food

Both residential and commercial kitchens are used for a variety of meal preparation and cleanup activities. While a commercial kitchen performs these activities at a much higher volume, all kitchen sink drains will succumb to the wear and tear of food being rinsed down them over time.

2. Hair

In the bathroom, hair is the most common cause of a slow-moving or clogged drain. These clogs will typically happen in the bathtub or shower drain but can occur in the sink also.

3. Foreign Objects

This mostly includes non-flushable paper products that are repeatedly flushed down the toilet. Although, the occasional child’s toy will also cause a serious clog.

4. Viscous Liquids

This is usually in the form of animal grease that is poured down the kitchen drain. It goes down as a liquid, however, once it is inside of the drain and cools, it turns to a thick paste that will create a layer of buildup.

How to Prevent a Slow Moving or Clogged Drain

While slow-moving and clogged drains are all part of the normal wear and tear of using your drain system, there are some things that you can do to minimize the frequency of these plumbing malfunctions.

Here are just a few tips for preventing a slow-moving or clogged drain in your home or business:

• Avoid pouring the grease into the kitchen drain. Whether you have a residential or commercial kitchen, pouring grease down the drain on a regular basis will eventually lead to a clog. At first, the grease will adhere to the inside walls of the pipes and create a layer of buildup. However, as the buildup layer gets thicker, it will eventually close the pipe completely and cause a clog,
• Install drain covers. The best way to avoid a slow-moving or clogged drain from developing is to prevent any clog-causing items from making their way down the drain. This includes hair and soap scum. Drain covers or screens help to only let the water go down the drain and trap the other materials so you can dispose of them in the wastebasket
• Each time you use your kitchen sink for food preparation or cleanup, make sure you run some hot water into it. This helps to push all of the food and grease particles through the drain and out into the sewer line.
