Kitchen drains are the most used drain in the house, and therefore one of the easiest to clog. Sink clogs are usually caused by the wrong foods being dumped down the drain in the wrong manner. Liquid fats like excess bacon grease and cooking oil are often poured in the sink then washed down with warm dishwater. The water cools as it travels down the pipes towards the main sewers, leaving congealed fat deposits along the way.  Eventually these fat deposits form layer upon layer of grease with other bits of food and waste sticking to them until the pipe becomes impassable.

Another common area of clogs are shower or bathtub drains, usually caused by a buildup of debris, including hair and cosmetic products.
