sticky substances cling to walls of pipes, grabbing bits of hair, food, etc., growing larger until the orifice is completely plugged. this usually happens at bends of the pipe where a natural restriction of flow is present. sometimes, with metal pipe, rust is present on the walls of the pipe, creating a velcro-like surface to grab passers by, doing the same as the soap or grease as previously mentioned. hope this helps.

How do you clear blocked kitchen drains?
Clogged drains are caused by the accumulation of sticky material in the water pipes. Many times stuff like hair, food, plastic pouches.. gets stuck in the pipes and starts accumulating. Because of this the water from the kitchen or shower sink takes time to drain. Many times the drain pipes emit foul odor. Once the pipes are blocked, either the water stops draining from the sink or the debris starts coming out of the sink and toilets. The clogged water may also start leaking and also rust the pipes.[Source:A-General Plumbing and Sewer Service]
