Clogged drains are one of the fastest ways to ruin your day. You count on your plumbing to work—until it doesn’t. Whether it’s a slow-draining sink or a toilet that needs the plunger more than you’d like to admit, drain problems are frustrating and messy.
At Radiant, we help homeowners tackle everything from the occasional clog to full-blown sewer line issues. Here’s what might be going wrong—and how we can help fix it for good.
Common Causes of Clogged Drains
Drains can clog for a lot of different reasons, depending on the area of the home and the age of the plumbing:
- Kitchen sinks often clog due to grease and food buildup.
- Cast iron pipes in older homes may corrode or narrow over time.
- Broken sewer lines can result from shifting soil or tree root intrusion.
- Poor-quality toilets can clog frequently, even with regular use.
If you’ve been fighting the same clog over and over, it’s time to dig deeper—literally.
Stop Flushing Money Down the Drain
Not all clogs are created equal. A toilet that clogs regularly may just need replacing. Modern models—like base-level Kohler and Toto toilets—flush far more efficiently than older models, even the ones that were considered “premium” at the time.
Upgrading your toilet can solve the problem and remove the plunger from your daily routine.
For drain lines that clog frequently, it’s often a sign of a bigger issue:
- A cracked or broken pipe
- A belly in the line (a low spot where debris collects)
- Or root infiltration from nearby trees
