If you're a homeowner, there's a good chance you've experienced a pipe clog or two in your life. Many of them you may have been able to brush off or even pull the clump of hair out to relieve the issue, however for an unlucky bunch, that problem might have ended with a burst pipe. The moral of the story? Not all clogs are created equal.

Plumbing problems often come with symptoms to let you know they're there; clogged pipes, slow drains, bad odors and leaks just to name a few. Unfortunately, many signs tend to be the same for different problems. A corroded pipe and a pipe infiltrated by tree roots may both produce slow drains. Without proper inspection, the cure is just a guessing game.

Your clogged pipe could come from any one of these problems:

Tree roots: Tree roots are the main cause of clogged pipes, particularly in the winter. Trees search for water, and end up finding your pipe.

Grease: Grease is the sneaky cause of clogs. Grease poured down the sink travels nearly 25 feet where the cooler temperatures cause it to harden and create a blockage.

Old piping: Pipes older than 20 years can begin to rust, break ,and cause a build up.

Pipe dislocation: If your home is built on expansive soil such as clay, your pipes can dislocate and move out of place. Heavy rainfalls can also cause pipe dislocation. The damp dirt shifts out of place putting pressure on your pipes.

Pipe Obstructions: Debris like dirt, hair or items that should not be flushed cause a clog. With a simple hydro-jetting or drain cleaning procedure we'll remove the obstruction.

While symptoms like clogs, backup, slow drains and foul smells could occur in any one of those situations, the solution is very different. A grease buildup may require hydro jetting, while an old corroding pipe could call for a trenchless pipe replacement. Without thorough investigating you could end up paying thousands of dollars more to just make up for the misdiagnosis.
