The causes of blocked drains

Blocked drains can be caused by a number of factors but most of the time it’s simply a build-up of whatever’s gone into the drain. This could be anything from grease and dirt to deposits and leaves that have accumulated and resulted in blocked drains. Foreign objects also make their way into drainage systems after being flushed down the toilet and many of these objects, because they're not designed to be flushed away, will cause a blockage somewhere along the line.

It might be a structural defect or breakage caused by tree roots, corrosion, or subsidence, but you can relax in the knowledge that whatever the problem, we can deal with it, Call us now on 08006 121 129

Signs, causes and preventing blockages

Signs

A bad smell coming from the plughole or a gurgling sound when water is draining is often the first warning. The problem will really become clear, though, when water starts draining very slowly, if at all. Once you do know something’s wrong, it’s important you seek help immediately, as a blocked sink might be a sign of a bigger problem.

Causes

In a kitchen sink it tends to be scraps of food and the build-up of cooking fats tipped down the sink that are the problem. In the bathroom it’s generally hair and soap scum. In both locations, any foreign objects, such as bottle tops, jewelry and washers, dropped down the plughole may cause a blockage.

Preventions

Remembering a few simple rules could save you a lot of hassle, and unpleasant smells, in the future. Always remove bits of food from the sink rather than washing them down the plughole. Try not to pour fat and grease down the sink. If you really have no choice, then wash them down with plenty of hot water and detergent. Remove hair from the plugholes whenever you have a bath or shower. Finally, it’s a very good idea to install traps which will catch food scraps and hair for you.
