What causes clogged drains?
Clogged drains are typically caused by the buildup of grease, soap, hair, food particles, and other debris. Over time, these materials can block water flow, leading to slow drains or complete blockages. If you're experiencing clogged drains in Middlesex, NJ, or nearby areas, Izzy’s Plumbing & Heating offers professional drain cleaning services to quickly restore your plumbing system.
