Bridgehampton’s coastal location and mature trees create specific drainage challenges. Tree roots naturally seek water sources and work their way into sewer lines through small cracks or joints. Once inside, they grow and trap debris, creating stubborn blockages.
Kitchen drains clog from grease, food particles, and soap buildup that accumulates over time. Bathroom drains typically block from hair, soap scum, and personal care products that stick to pipe walls. In older homes, mineral deposits from hard water can narrow pipes and make clogs more likely.
The sandy soil common in this area can also shift and put pressure on underground pipes, creating low spots where debris collects. Regular professional cleaning every 2-3 years prevents most of these issues from becoming major problems.
