What Causes Blocked Drains?

Blocked drains are more common than you think and are generally something that builds up over time. Everyday offenders like grease, oils, and leftover food solidify in your pipes meaning less water can flow through them. When you flush things down the toilet that really shouldn’t be flushed (wet wipes, sanitary products, or cotton buds), this will also cause a blockage. External factors such as tree roots growing into pipes or cracked drains due to soil movement will also cause an obstruction that won’t budge.

How to Avoid Blocked Drains

Awareness is the key to prevention. Watch what goes down your drains and pipes, including in the kitchen. Prevent grease and fats from going down the sink, wipe greasy pans with paper towels, and throw them in the bin, not down the sink. Throw wet wipes or nappies in the bin, not down the toilet! Regular maintenance helps catch any issues early on – small cracks, etc.

Blocked Drains-  FAQ’s

  • What long-term damage can blocked drains cause if not addressed?

    Blocked drains can cause major long-term damage. These include burst pipes due to pressure building up, water damage to property, possible health hazards in stagnant wastewater, and over time blockages left untreated can cause soil erosion around underground pipes leadingto  severely reduced integrity to your drain network.


  • How tree roots cause blocked drains, and what you can do to prevent it?

    Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture that surrounds your underground pipes. They infiltrate tiny cracks in the pipe in order to reach a consistent flow of water. This causes blockages, slow draining water, and even collapsed or burst pipes if left unchecked. To prevent root intrusion you will need regular inspections performed. If roots are present already, then professional drain unblocking services with root removal and pipe relining will be needed to restore your drainage system.

  • Are blocked drains more common in older properties?

    Yes, they are. Older properties often have old or decaying drainage systems which pose a higher risk of blockages. Smaller pipe diameters, corrosion, and damage from shifting soil all add to this risk. Regular maintenance and inspections will help you take care of this.

  • Can household remedies effectively clear blocked drains?

    Some small blockages can be cleared using hot water, or baking soda mixed with vinegar. However, If you’ve got a larger blockage, it’s likely that there’s an underlying issue that a professional will need to address.

  • How do I avoid blocked drains in a busy household or commercial setting?

    To stop blocked drains in high-usage areas, it’s about developing habits such as not pouring cooking fats and oils down the sink and using bins for wipes and sanitary items instead of flushing. Also, drain covers can be bought, and scheduling professional maintenance can help identify any blocks prior to them becoming an issue.
