clogged drain.
 Distribution pipe clogs are usually caused by an excessively large connection. 
For example, a connection on your sink or shower might be too large or 
excessively small. Or maybe you have an overly aggressive trap in your sink 
or shower. These connections can get too large or too small, leading to a clog 
in your pipes. There are two types of sink clogs: rinse pipe clogs, which occur 
in the typical 1- to 4-inch drain pipe, and a shower-head clog, which usually 
happens on your shower head and is often caused by the trap mechanism in 
the shower head becoming dislodged.
 Toilet clogs are caused by a blockage in your toilet bowl. These can be 
caused by a blockage in the toilet itself, or in the sewer system. In either 
case, the toilet clog will lead to a blockage in your sewage drain.
