Reliable Drain Opening in Buffalo

The most common causes of sewer and drain problems include:

• Build up of Grease and Soap Residue (also called sludge). Grease stoppages are due to a gradual build up of small amounts of grease over the years.

• Various foreign objects: Hair & Lint, Feminine Products, Paper Towels & Baby Wipes.

• Roots (from nearby trees and bushes)

• Poor installation or ground settling causing low spots, inadequate slope or breaks in the line.

Preventive measures can often be taken to reduce or eliminate stoppages.

Grease in a Line

Most grease stoppages are due to a gradual build up of small amounts of grease over the years. A one-time overload stoppage is possible, but is rare.

​

CAUTION
Stoppages due to grease build up are more complex than they appear. The blockage may be at one or several points and there may be other points where the grease may soon cause a blockage.
