Setauket drains clog frequently because they get the most use in your house, and debris naturally washes down them over time. In kitchen sinks, it’s usually grease, food particles, and soap scum that build up on the pipe walls.
Bathroom drains typically clog from hair, especially in showers, combined with soap residue that helps everything stick together. Many Setauket homes were built in the late 1960s, so you’re dealing with drain lines that have decades of gradual buildup.
The mature trees that make our neighborhoods so attractive can also cause problems when roots work their way into sewer lines looking for water. This is especially common with older clay pipes that develop small cracks over time.
