Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers: hair, soap and buildup

Hair mats at the strainer or stopper, binds with soap and mineral deposits and slows the drain a little more each week. In a house with several bathrooms in constant use, it builds fast. A hair catcher is the simplest fix. If a tub is the first fixture to show trouble, it may be the lowest drain on a shared line. See bathroom sink drain cleaning and shower and tub drain cleaning.

Celery country that became a suburb

Oviedo is a city in Seminole County east of Orlando. Citrus came first and celery on the muck of Black Hammock followed. Free-roaming chickens still wander the historic downtown. The housing today is mostly newer slab subdivisions from the 1980s onward around Oviedo on the Park, with older homes near the old center. Homes here run on sewer or septic, and the technician asks and checks before starting. Newer lines are plastic, but older sections of the city may have clay or cast iron, and large oaks put roots into any loose joint. Two ZIP codes cover the city. Busy households run kitchens and laundry hard, and the pattern matters more than any single clog. Note which fixtures slow down first, whether it follows a big meal or a laundry day, and whether it has happened before. Those details tell the technician where to start. See kitchen grease clogs, sewer camera inspection and laundry drain clogs.

Older homes near the historic center may have clay or cast iron lines, and the oaks in those streets send roots toward their joints. Much of the city was built from the 1980s on with plastic lines, while some outlying lots near the lake rely on septic.

Talk to a Drain Tech

Calls are answered by a person around the clock.

One slow drain or the whole house?

One slow sink is a branch. Several slow drains, a toilet that gurgles when the tub empties, or the lowest fixture filling first point to the main line, or on septic the line to the tank. When the symptoms are not conclusive, a camera decides it. See main sewer line clogs. Newer suburban homes make up much of Oviedo, kitchen, laundry and grease clogs lead, and the technician confirms sewer or septic first.

It helps to know if the home uses sewer or septic.

Laundry drains, lint and standpipe overflows

A washer empties in under a minute, and lint, soap and softener leave a film in a narrow line. The standpipe starts to rise before it drains. If a tub fills while the washer drains, a shared line is partly blocked. A cable clears it, and a lint catch helps. See laundry drain clogs.

Oviedo in brief

Oviedo began as a settlement on Lake Jesup in the 1870s, grew around citrus, and then became known as Celery City when farmers planted the black muck soil. It incorporated in 1925 with about 800 residents and became a city in 1967. It now has about 40,000 residents in Seminole County near the University of Central Florida. Tell the call taker roughly when the home was built, since the city holds both older streets and newer neighborhoods.
