Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can occur due to various reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Tree Roots: Over time, tree roots can infiltrate sewer pipes, causing blockages and disruptions to the flow of water.
  • Grease and Fat: Grease and fat from cooking can solidify within pipes, leading to blockages.
  • Sanitary Products: Flushing sanitary products down the toilet can cause obstructions in your plumbing system.
  • Children’s Toys: Small toys or objects accidentally dropped into drains can cause significant blockages.
  • Soap Build-up: The residue left behind by soap can gradually build up within pipes, restricting water flow.
  • Paper: Excessive toilet roll usage or flushing of other paper products can result in clogging.

It’s important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and inconvenience.

How To Prevent Blocked Drains

While blocked drains can be frustrating, there are measures you can take to minimise the likelihood of experiencing such problems. Consider the following preventative steps:

  • Dispose of Grease Properly: Avoid pouring grease or fat down the sink. Instead, let it cool and dispose of it in the bin.
  • Use Drain Guards: Install drain guards or screens to catch hair, food particles and other debris before they enter the drainage system.
  • Be Mindful of What You Flush: Only flush toilet paper and waste that is safe for the plumbing system. Avoid flushing items like wet wipes, cotton balls or sanitary products.
  • Regular Maintenance: Schedule routine plumbing maintenance to detect and address any potential blockages before they become severe.
