Why do sewers and drains get clogged? Unfortunately, your drains can suffer for many different reasons and items. Sewers on the other hand can clog from a buildup of kitchen grease and at times tree roots can make their way into the joints of sewer lines causing blockage.
Your drains consist of all the pipes that go directly from your fixtures such as your sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets. These can get easily clogged by household items and are more easily cleared because of the easier access to them. Sewers are the lines that all the drains connect at and then the sewer line connects with the main lines for your town or city.
