Bathroom Fixtures Keep Clogging Up? Call A Plumber Soon

If you're constantly battling clogs or backups in your bathroom fixtures call a plumber. Some of the pipes and fixtures in your bathroom plumbing system could be on the verge of failing. You want to take care of the issues today before they become unmanageable later. Learn why your bathroom fixtures keep clogging or backing up and how you can take care of them below. 

Why Are All Your Bathroom Fixtures Clogging Up?

There are many plumbing pipes running through your bathroom. Some of the pipes can build up with various substances over time, including hair, soap scum, and human waste. The debris inside the pipes can cause multiple clogs to occur in your toilet, sink, and bathtub.

In addition to clogs, the water in your home may also be responsible for the problems in your bathroom. Residential water can be hard, or full of harsh minerals. The minerals can settle inside the water lines and drainage pipes in your house and block them. The mineral buildup may cause some of your bathroom pipes to drain or empty slower than they should under normal circumstances. 

You can take care of the problems in your bathroom with the help of a plumbing contractor.

What Plumbing Solutions Should You Take Now?

Because there could many possible reasons for the clogs or backups in your bathroom, a plumbing contractor will need to view or inspect each fixture separately. The inspection can help determine if the clogs are due to a single issue or if they stem from many problems.

If the inspection reveals a minor issue, such as mineral buildup in the pipes, a plumber will clear out the system with an auger or chemical enzymes. Chemical enzymes are designed to break up solid debris without damaging your plumbing pipes or water lines. The enzymes should clear the system without any further problems.

If a broken or clogged main sewer line is the reason behind the constant clogs and backups, a plumber may suggest you:

• clean out the line with a water jet cleaner
• repair the line
• replace the line

If you choose to replace the sewer line, you may also want to replace some of the other pipes in your bathroom as well. The older pipes may still have some buildup inside them that could damage the new sewer line later.
