Plant roots and other debris

Another common reason for your drainage issues rising is the roots of the plants and trees in your garden. The littlest crack in your pipes is an invitation for the roots to make their way in. Their entrance will only obstruct the water flow and cause more damage to the pipe as they grow.

To avoid this from happening, you should review the state of your pipes time and again. You must water them regularly, so they don't draw moisture from your pipes. You must take into account the type of plants that you're adding to your garden as well.

Grease, fats, and oil

Grease, fat, food, and oil can cause major drainage problems as they can build up quickly between the drain pipe and other pipes that flow at the bottom. This kind of dirt can accumulate in the pies over time and harden.

The solidification will prevent any pathway for a liquid to go through and hence, cause backup problems. You should avoid washing such ingredients down the drain. One way to go around pouring it down your kitchen sink is to collect the excess grease and fat in a separate jar or pot and dispose of it.
