Why Your Urinal Is Clogged

Throughout our experience, the most common reasons for a backed up urinal fall into one or a combination of three categories.

Uric Scale Buildup

This is the most frequent offender. Urine contains naturally occurring mineral salts (often called uric salts or uric scale). Over time, these minerals build up on the inner surfaces of the urinal's trap and drainpipes, much like cholesterol in an artery. This gradual accumulation narrows the pipes, eventually leading to a complete blockage. Low-flow urinals or infrequent flushing can speed up this process.

Foreign Objects and Debris

Unfortunately, urinals often become receptacles for items that simply don't belong there. The usual suspects we find include:

• Cigarette butts
• Chewing gum
• Paper towels (which, unlike toilet paper, don't dissolve easily)
• Pieces of broken urinal cakes or screens
  Other miscellaneous trash These items can quickly create a stubborn blockage within the urinal's P-trap or further down the drain line.

Hard Water Mineral Buildup

Here in areas like Waukesha and southeastern Wisconsin, we know a thing or two about hard water. Those extra minerals (like calcium and magnesium) in our water supply don't just affect our faucets; they can also build up inside urinal drains. This mineral scale can combine with uric scale, creating tough-to-remove clogs.

How to Unclog a Urinal

You can try two quick fixes before calling a plumber.

1. Plunge the drain opening. A tight seal and several strong pulls may move loose debris.
2. Use a small hand auger. Feed a short drain snake into the opening and rotate gently to break up the buildup near the trap.

If the clog sits deeper in the line or involves heavy uric scale, mineral deposits or a foreign object, DIY attempts often make the blockage worse. A professional clears the drain completely and protects your plumbing from damage. Contact Roto-Rooter Milwaukee today for fast urinal drain cleaning with commercial equipment.
