Is Your Mainline Clogged?

Everything in your plumbing system is connected. So when you get a clog in one area, it can cause drain problems throughout your Waxhaw home. There are plumbing lines that go to each of your sinks, tubs, and toilets. These all connect to the mainline, which takes everything away from your home. When you get a clog in one of the drain lines, it’s usually easier to fix. But once the clog gets to the mainline, it can start to cause bigger problems.

If your clog has reached the mainline, you might notice a few signs such as:

  • Toilet water backing up into the tub when you flush
  • Gurgling sounds in your pipes when the water is draining
  • A bad odor coming from your pipes
  • Multiple sinks clogging at the same time
  • Slow drains that take time to empty

What’s Causing That Drain to Clog?

Hair

Think about all the things you do around your drains; in the shower, you're washing your hair. At the bathroom sink, you might be brushing your hair or shaving. And where does that hair end up? Right in your drain. Over time, those little strands build up, mixing with soap residue to create a blockage. It's one of the most common reasons for clogged drains—and one of the toughest to fix on your own.

Soap Scum

It's funny how something meant to clean can cause blockages, but it's true. Soap, especially bar soap, can leave a slimy layer when it mixes with the minerals in your water. This sticky buildup gradually clogs your pipes, leaving less room for water to flow.

Grease

In the kitchen, grease is often the main problem. Even if you wash it down with hot water, it cools and hardens as it moves through the pipes, sticking to the sides and trapping food particles. Over time, this creates a stubborn clog that can stop water flow entirely.

Foreign Objects

From toothpaste caps to food scraps, even small toys—your drain pipes have probably seen it all. Sometimes, it's just life happening, but these unexpected items can get stuck and cause a blockage. It's a reminder to be careful about what goes down the drain (or what your kids might sneak into it!).

Acting Fast Can Limit the Damage!

It's easy (and totally normal) to look at a clogged drain and feel annoyed by the standing water. The longer it sits there, the worse it's gonna smell (yuck) and the more frustrating it's gonna get (ugh). What we might not think about is the damage a blocked drain can cause if left alone.

Standing water can lead to bacteria growth, bad smells, and even damage to your pipes over time. Plus, the pressure from a blockage can cause leaks or cracks, turning a simple clog into a bigger issue. The longer you wait, the worse it can get—not just for your drains, but for your entire plumbing system.

Acting quickly means you can avoid costly repairs and prevent further damage. Whether it's clearing a minor blockage or dealing with a stubborn clog, taking care of it now can save you a lot of headaches later.

Unclogging Your Drains the Safe Way

There are different types of clogs, and some of them are more serious than others. Sometimes a little hair can collect just a few inches away from the drain opening in your bathroom sink. That type of clog will just affect that one sink. Once you get rid of it, everything will work perfectly again. But if a grease clog has formed in your mainline or there is a tree root growing into a section of piping, it can suddenly become a different drain clogging problem.

For less serious clogged drains, you can keep a plunger on hand to quickly get rid of them. This can easily be done at home. There are even special plungers that you can use on your kitchen or bathroom sinks.

If you can see the hair clog hanging out a few inches down, you can even use one of the disposable snakes that you can buy at the hardware store. But problems beyond that should only be taken care of by a plumber. If the clog is in your mainline, a liquid drain cleaner won’t do much good and it might even damage your pipes in the process.

If the clog seems minor and localized, give a plunger a try. If that doesn't work, it's time to call us. Don't hesitate—we've seen every kind of blocked drain in Waxhaw and can help get things flowing smoothly again.
