Not only frustrating but blocked drains can cause serious damage to your property.

A blocked drain is a pipe that doesn’t allow water to flow through smoothly. There are many different causes of blockages but the most common are tree roots, grease, and household items that shouldn’t be flushed such as wipes, nappies and sanitary items.

WHAT CAUSES A BLOCKED DRAIN

Tree roots

One of the most common causes of blockages in drains, tree roots can be more powerful than you think and push their way into pipe work creating major disruption and blockages.

Grease & Food Scraps

If food fats & oil are poured down the sink over time the grease congeals in the inside of the pipe partially or fully blocking it.

Hair

Hair down the drain after shampooing, emptying your brush hairs in to the toilet or straightening your hair over the basin, may no seem like a lot of hair at the time but over time it builds up and tangles together creating a blockage.

Foreign Objects

Wipes, nappies, sanitary items, cotton buds, dental floss. These household items should not be flushed and can cause you major plumbing issues.
