Why does the toilet or bathroom sink clog more often than the kitchen sink?

I've poured pounds of food particles down my kitchen sink, and I don't even have a in-sink grinder, and the sink never clogs. But one well-timed dump can clog the toilet like that. Why is that?

Why does the toilet or bathroom sink clog more often than the kitchen sink?
its true, hair etc, are the main culprits of stoppages in the bathroom, but remember, the difference between the kit %26amp; bath are open drains in the kitchen and a waterdrain stopper in the sinks in the bathrooms. the stoppers hang down into the trap area and usually catch hair etc and tend to clog it more often than the kitchen and open drains.


note: just remove the stopper from the drain and clean the hair off the stopper every other month or sooner if necessary. clean the trap too.


as for your toilet, they do not have traps in the lines...they are in the toilets themselves.


lnote: if you are getting stoppage in the 3"-4" lines for your sewer b4 it hits your kitchen sink area, its because you either have roots growing in the lines and the line may have cracked and therefore allowing the roots to penetrate the lines and when the waste is furthered with the toilet paper it grabs on to the roots and clogs the lines...coupled with the hair etc going down the bath sink; its a traffic jam.


remedy: you need to roto-root the lines between the kitchen and the bathroom area.


!!! if you notice a wet spot or lots of green grass growing outside the home in a particular spot, that may be the spot where the line is broken and you need to dig it up and repair the line.
Reply:Hair ! .. it all goes down the Tub an Sink the bathroom !
Reply:Hair!! It traps so much soap buildup and toothpaste and other products too that adds to the mess. Get a small drain screen, this should help
Reply:to much toilet paper. some toilet paper feel like cloth. stay away from Charman and Angel Soft . feel like cloth, bad for the toilet.
Reply:The bathroom pipe is smaller and theirs hair in it. Usually the hair get hung up on the maechanism that closes the drain. Kitchen doesn't have that.
Reply:more crape goes into them
Reply:Do you wah your hair in the kitchen sink?














See? That`s why ;)
Reply:more hair goes down the drain of the sink and tub
Reply:My hypothosis is all the hair that goes down the bathroom drains causes the toilet to back up. Hair doesn't rot like food does and isn't as biodegradable. One time the maintenance man came to my apartment that I had lived in for four years because my shower/bath was draining so slow. When I came home he had pulled enough hair out of the drain it was the size of a rabbit...lmao!!!! I was so embarrassed.
Reply:don't use so much tp...also call a plumber...let him deal with it
