Clogged drains are the most common plumbing problem in Pomona. A drain can become clogged for many reasons. Most minor clogs can be cleared without the help of a plumber. However, there are circumstances where you may require professional help to rid yourself of a stubborn clog.

A Drain Can Become Clogged for Many Reasons

There are many different ways a drain can become clogged. One of the most common ways clogs occur is when we try to pass too much material through a drain at one time. Clogs can also happen when we place the wrong materials down a drain. Bones, fruit rinds, wood, rocks, soil, paper products, hair, plastic wrapping, oil, and grease are just a few of the items that should never be placed down a drain. Root infiltration and corrosion are other causes.

There are many DIY options for clearing a minor clog. You can use a plunger, drain snake, or drain cleaner. If you decide to use a drain cleaner, choose one that’s non-toxic and won’t affect your pipes.

Situations Where You Need to Call a Plumber

If DIY solutions don’t get the job done, you must call a plumber. Here are some situations where you need to contact a plumber:

• You are experiencing persistent slow or clogged drains.
• You are unable to determine the cause or location of the clog.
• The clog is in a hard-to-reach place.
• The clog can’t be cleared, and the sink, shower, or toilet is starting to back up or overflow.
• Puddles of water anywhere there are pipes.
• Water is coming out of the bottom of the toilet.
• You smell raw sewage coming from the clogged drain.
