To Home Owners:

I have been a plumber for several years and have encountered lots of problems with clogged PVC pipes. On numerous occasions, they were clogged with squirrels, birds, twigs, leaves, and/or various other sorts of debris. Squirrels are attracted to the pipes because of their burrowing nature. Since the PVC pipes are smooth, if a critter goes into the pipe, normally from the root, it is unable to claw its way up to the opening of the pipe; therefore, it dies inside and clogs the line. When the pipes get clogged, they can’t vent properly and gases can’t be released, causing backup in the plumbing, sometimes throughout the house. Getting the pipes unclogged can become very unpleasant for the plumber and expensive to the homeowner.

Installation of E-Caps on rooftop PVC pipes is the most effective means of eliminating this problem that I have come across. I call it the "wonder cap" because of its simplicity and effectiveness. I highly endorse the E-Cap for the prevention of clogged pipes.
