Clogged drains can be a frustrating problem for any homeowner, and more often than not, our everyday habits are the root cause. While it might seem harmless at the moment, certain actions can build up over time and lead to blockages. Fortunately, you can count on the Garon T Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric team for quality drain cleaning in Lakewood, NJ.
Let’s look at some common culprits and how to prevent them.
Pouring Grease Down the Drain
After cooking, many people simply pour leftover grease or oil down the drain, thinking it will wash away. However, grease solidifies as it cools, sticking to the inside of pipes and trapping other debris. To prevent this, rooter service experts recommend disposing of grease in a container and throwing it in the trash instead.
Flushing Non-Flushable Items
Toilets are designed to handle waste and toilet paper, but items like wipes, cotton swabs, and feminine hygiene products can easily cause clogs. Even if the label says “flushable,” these products often don’t break down properly and may require drain snaking to clear the blockage. Always dispose of these items in a trash bin.
Letting Hair Accumulate in Drains
Hair is one of the most common culprits of clogged bathroom drains. Over time, hair accumulates and combines with soap scum, creating stubborn blockages. To avoid getting a clogged drain, make sure to use a drain screen or hair catcher to prevent this buildup.
Rinsing Food Scraps into the Sink
Even with a garbage disposal, rinsing food scraps like coffee grounds, rice, or pasta can cause issues. These items expand in water or form sticky residues that block your pipes. If you’re already facing a blockage, professional drain cleaning services can help. Scrape your plates into the trash before rinsing them.

Ken gave me a very detailed report on how my furnace operates and functions. Was extremely informative about if and when I would need a new furnace vs parts. Was on time and called 30 mins prior to arriving. Ken is polite and considerate. Showed me the different returns, how and when I should maintain them. Thank you Ken for the education and experience with your expertise. Definitely would call on your assistance again! All this for $90.00! Can't be beat!

Devin did a great job, he was super nice, very helpful, and got me in touch with a restoration company to address the other issues caused by my kitchen sink! He was happy to lay out all of the options for me and quote me on other work I was looking to get done. Definitely recommend!

If you don't already know by reading the previous reviews having the most respectful, polite, honest and knowledgeable employees is Garon T Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. There is no hard sell, just honest information given which included pictures and 3 options for the repair labelling them Good, better, best so that the customer (I) can make a decision to move forward with the necessary repairs. Ken also contacted his office to get additional information to make my decision a little easier. Always explaining the process clearly. Ken is one of those employees.

He was quick and efficient and cleaned up any mess that was made. He explained everything to me and helped me understand what I could do moving forward to prevent further leaks in my house. I was extremely satisfied.
