The most common causes are grease and food buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines. Palo Alto's mature tree canopy — especially older neighborhoods like Land Park, East Palo Alto, and Curtis Park — makes root intrusion particularly prevalent.
Should I use chemical drain cleaners like Drano?
We strongly advise against chemical drain cleaners.

Professional snaking or hydro-jetting removes the full blockage without damaging your plumbing.
