Why do drain clogs happen in San Clemente, California?

Foundation Shifting and Settling

One of the most important factors that go into determining someone’s home is their piping system, and it needs to be checked regularly for any potential problems. One reason why pipes in your house are more fragile than you might think is because they have to move with what’s happening around them- so if there has been an earthquake or natural disaster nearby then this will affect every aspect including water pressure changes which can cause plumbing issues like color changes.

Tree Root Intrusion

Why are you still standing in the middle of your yard, looking for wet patches and sinkholes? Call San Clemente’s favorite plumbers at Elder & Young now! Our leak detection equipment will find the leaks while we fix them quickly.

Old Pipes

Pipes last a long time, but they won’t last forever. The Original pipes are made from materials that are much more likely to corrosion such as iron and over time the pipe weakens and begins breaking down until eventually it breaks entirely due to corrosion or other damage related issues – this is when you start recognizing leaks in your property which can potentially cause major problems for homes in San Clementeif left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home then we would recommend upgrading them with newer pipes before any serious damage occurs.

Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes

Rust and corrosion can be a real threat to your plumbing system as it ages. Corrosion may cause leaks or clogs, so watch out for spots on pipes that could indicate you need to get the problem checked by a professional plumber right away! If there’s more of an issue than what is visible at first glance, consider replacing any high-risk factors like cast iron pipes because over time these will only worsen without proper attention.

Pipe and drain clogs are common in San Clemente, California. Here are some of the most frequent signs.

Puddles Inside or Outside Your Home

If you have water accumulating or puddling inside or outside your home, whether it be in a walkway, or on a floor, it could be an indicator of a water leak in the pipes. While some problems are easier to diagnose and detect, the leaks inside walls and underground are more challenging and special leak detection equipment may be necessary. If you suspect a leak that you can’t see, call us to schedule a service call immediately.

Wet Spots on Floor Around Sinks, Toilets and Tubs

If you notice a wet spot on the floor around a sink, toilet or tub, it may be nothing, or, it may be due to a water leak. Homeowners should regularly inspect the areas around sinks, toilets and tubs and look for wet spots or discoloration. If you notice don’t notice anything unusual, and the moisture persists, you could have a cracked toilet, or it could be something else. If nothing stands out, call a professional plumber for help. We’ll find the source of the water and solve the plumbing problem.

Sudden Cracks in the Foundation, Low Spots in Pavement and Potholes

When water seeps into the foundation of your house, that’s when things get really serious! Not only will we have to worry about cracks in our walls and ceilings but also structural components like the beams supporting floors above us. This is where leaking water can become dangerous: not just surface level damage but now actual structural problems as well! You never want an issue this big sitting around without being addressed. If you notice cracks in the foundation, contact a plumber right away so that they can inspect the property for leaks using the latest leak detection equipment.

Dark Areas on Concrete, Warped Flooring, Lifting Tiles, Wet Areas on the Floor or Carpet

Leaking water damages homes by seeping into their foundation and weakening structural components like walls, floors, and ceilings over time; this in turn causes cracks throughout your house. Unchecked leaking water is an all-around bad situation for homeowners because it not only affects the appearance of a property but also its safety – if left alone long enough, leakage could lead to demolition needs or expensive repair jobs as well! If you notice any of these issues, contact a plumber for help immediately!

Wet Spots Next to Walls

Water flows downhill. If you have a wet spot next to a wall that is next to a bathroom, it may be a sign of a leak in the bathroom or within the wall between the two rooms. However, if there is no bathroom next to a wet spot next to a wall, it’s likely that the water the result of a water leak that is coming from above and running down the wall and pooling at the floor. In these situations, it’s important to contact a plumber immediately to mitigate the damages that are being done. These situations if not taken care of early can lead to mold and other damage. A professional plumber will use the latest electronic leak detection equipment to detect the location of the leak so that it can be fixed quickly without tearing down walls or the ceiling to find it and fix it.

The Most Common Reasons for Drain and Sewer Backups

Most clogged drains are caused by a buildup of everyday debris or materials that should never go down your pipes. Here are some of the most common culprits:

  • Cooking grease and fats that harden inside kitchen drains
  • Hair and residue buildup in shower, tub, and sink drains
  • Coffee grounds and fibrous foods that jam garbage disposals
  • Tree roots invading main sewer lines
  • Old, corroded, or collapsed pipes

Our plumbers don’t just clear your drains — we pinpoint the root cause and share tips to stop it from returning.
