What's Clogging My Drains?
Most drain clogs are due to an accumulation of substances that we put down the drain, often things that are not meant to go down them. Over time, these materials can build up and impede the water flow, resulting in a slow or completely blocked drain. It's essential to be mindful of what goes down your pipes, as some items can cause more harm than others.
- Hair: This is one of the most common causes of drain clogs, especially in showers and bathroom sinks.
- Grease and fats: When washed down the sink, these can solidify and stick to the pipe walls, causing blockages.
- Coffee grounds: Despite their small size, coffee grounds can accumulate and cause significant clogs.
- Food particles: Not all food should go down the garbage disposal. Hard, fibrous, or starchy foods can easily clog drains.
- Soap scum: Over time, soap residue can build up and block the drain, particularly in bathroom sinks and showers.
- Foreign objects: Anything from children's toys to sanitary products can clog drains if they're accidentally flushed or dropped into a drain.
- Older Pipes: Numerous older homes in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County may have outdated piping systems more susceptible to clogs. Aging infrastructure can exacerbate blockage risks, with materials like cast iron being particularly prone to rust and debris accumulation. Considering this, it’s crucial to address even minor drainage issues quickly to prevent larger, costlier repairs in the future.

How We Clean Clogged Drains
At Stahl Plumbing and Drain, we approach each clogged drain situation with a detailed, systematic process designed to diagnose and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Here's a look at how our expert team handles the process:
- Inspection: We begin by thoroughly inspecting the drain in question to identify the location and nature of the clog.
- Diagnosis: Once we've pinpointed the issue, we diagnose the cause of the clog and decide on the best method of removal based on our findings.
- Clearing the Clog: We use professional-grade tools and techniques to efficiently clear the clog, ensuring the drain flows freely again.
- Hydro Jetting: For stubborn clogs or as part of a regular maintenance routine, we might use hydro jetting. This involves blasting high-pressure water through your pipes to eliminate blockages and buildup. It’s extremely effective and environmentally friendly, as it only uses water.
- Final Inspection and Clean-up: After removing the clog, we perform a final inspection to confirm the drain is clear. We also ensure the work area is as clean as when we arrived.
- Advanced Methods: Beyond traditional methods, we also employ advanced technology such as video camera inspections that allow us to visually assess drain interiors without invasive techniques. This cutting-edge approach facilitates accurate diagnosis and allows us to tailor the most effective repair strategy.
