If your drains clog every few weeks, the problem is usually bigger than “hair in the trap.” In older Philly homes, repeat clogs often come from slope issues, partial collapses, or years of buildup.
Common causes of repeat clogs
- Grease and soap buildup in kitchen lines
- Roots entering older underground pipes
- Poor slope or belly in the line
- Old galvanized pipes with restricted flow
- “Flushable” wipes that don’t break down
What actually solves it
First, clear the line properly. Then, assess why it clogged. In many cases, a camera inspection saves money because it prevents repeated service calls.
