Why Do My Pipes Clog Easily?

Why Pipes Clog

Feel like your drains are always backing up? You could be unintentionally causing clogs that give you plumbing frustration in your Lubbock, Texas, home. Assess your behavior and give us a call to resolve your plumbing issues.

You Have Long Hair

People with long hair are notorious for clogging up plumbing. Even a few long hairs can create a snarl that gets caught in pipes, and catches everything that tries to go down after it. If the clog is close to the drain opening, you can get a short snake and try to get it out yourself. If it’s further down, you won’t be able to fix it on your own and will need to call us. Once the clog is resolved, put a hair catcher in your shower to prevent any additional hair from washing down.

You Let Food Down the Drain

Even garbage disposals can’t handle everything, like oil and coffee grounds. But if you don’t have a garbage disposal, no food should go down your kitchen sink. Too much food will collect in your pipes and create clogs. If you accidentally let a tiny amount of food down sporadically, you’ll probably be ok. If you shove food down your drain as though you have a garbage disposal, that’s no good. Get a sink insert that will catch your food, so you can empty it into the garbage.

Your Pipes Need a Pro Cleaning

Old pipes just need to be cleaned more often than new ones, especially if they’re cast iron. If you’re tempted to reach for the drain cleaner, don’t. Call us instead. We can get your pipes flowing swiftly without resorting to chemicals.

Everyone needs a plumber once in a while, so make sure you’re using the BTAC professionals for your plumbing needs. We’ll get the job done fast and leave you with clean pipes. After all, isn’t life easier when you aren’t dealing with clogs all the time? Call us today at 806-589-1014.

I am so thankful for BTAC and the guys they sent out to repair a major hot and cold water leak under our slab. They knew what they were doing, and were very professional and polite, and I might add compassionate. They are an asset to the company!

To the credit of BTAC and it's management, I had a frustrating experience with them on a call out for a problem with a blower motor. I made my opinion known and contacted them through email to express it. They responded, sent out new technicians and made it right. That doesn't happen very often these days, and it's good to see a company show it cares about that. If you call these folks to come out, and your experience is what you expected, let them know, they'll work with you. 👍

I'm new to the Lubbock area and Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning was the first company we called. They had someone at our house to help in an hour and the service man had our AC fixed in 30 minutes. Their customer service was great from the receptionist who answered the phone to the hvac professional who fixed our AC!
