Common Drain Cleaning Questions:


How can I prevent clogged drains?
Do not rinse fats or cooking oils down the kitchen sink.  Liquid fats solidify in the cold pipes and create clogs.  To help prevent clogs, fit all your tubs and shower drains with a strainer that catches hair and soap chips, and clean the strainer regularly.

What can I do about a sewer line blockage?

The main culprit is tree roots, and once they’ve blocked the line, there is very little you can do.  A plumbing professional can snake the line to get it as clear as possible, and then use copper sulfide products to kill the remaining vegetation.  But odds are the sewer line will most likely need to be replaced.
 
Are caustic liquid drain openers (like Drano or Liquid Plumber) harmful to pipes?
For minor clogs, they’re fine, but never use them on a drain that is completely clogged. The caustic ingredients are trapped in your pipes, and it can severely damage them.  If you can’t snake the drain yourself, call Catons to do so.  Never use caustic drain openers in a drain that has a garbage disposal.
