Medford drains clog often because they handle the highest volume of daily use, combined with common household debris like soap scum, food particles, grease, and hair. Even simple activities like washing dishes can contribute to buildup over time.
In Medford’s older homes, aging pipes with rough interior surfaces catch debris more easily. Additionally, Long Island’s mature trees can cause root intrusion in main drain lines, especially problematic since many Suffolk County homes rely on cesspool systems rather than public sewers.
The area’s hard water also contributes to mineral buildup inside pipes, gradually reducing flow capacity. Regular drain cleaning service every few years helps prevent these issues from becoming major blockages that require emergency service.
