Common Drain Problems in Orem Homes
Utah County homes face unique plumbing challenges. Hard water mineral deposits, aging clay pipes, and mature tree root systems can all contribute to drain issues. Here are the most common problems we see in Orem:
- Slow drains: Gradual buildup of soap, grease, hair, and minerals can restrict water flow over time.
- Recurring clogs: If the same drain keeps backing up, there may be a deeper obstruction in your line that needs professional attention.
- Multiple fixtures affected: When more than one drain is slow or backed up, the problem is likely in your main sewer line.
- Foul odors: Bad smells from your drains can indicate organic buildup, a dry P-trap, or even a sewer line issue.
- Water backing up: Sewage or water coming back up through floor drains or toilets requires immediate professional service.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
We recommend annual professional drain cleaning for most Orem homes. Properties with older pipes, large trees, or a history of clogs may benefit from more frequent service.
What causes most drain clogs?
The most common causes are hair, grease, soap buildup, food waste, mineral deposits from hard water, and tree root intrusions into sewer lines.
Can you clean drains without chemicals?
Absolutely. Our primary methods—snaking and hydro jetting—use mechanical force and water pressure, not harsh chemicals, to clear your drains safely and effectively.
