What Causes Drains To Become Blocked?

There are numerous reasons for a blockage to occur in your commercial building or domestic homes. Often blockages happen because people are unaware that the products they are putting into the system could become stuck. Once one thing becomes wedged, everything that follows gets stuck behind it and starts the blocking process.

Products such as baby wipes, cotton wool, sanitary products and paper towels do not flush easily through toilet pipework. If there are any narrow sections or sharp bends in the pipes, these bulky items get stuck. When toilet flushes aren’t working fully, there isn’t sufficient water to flush things properly away either.

In the kitchen, animal cooking fat is liquid when it’s hot, but solid when it’s cold. If the fat is poured down the sink, it can solidify in the pipes and cause a blockage.

Blocked Pipework

Food waste or items accidentally dropped into the pipework will also add to the chances of blocked pipework. Externally drains and pipework can become damaged by soil movement or growing tree roots.

Some small blockages can be cleared using everyday cleaning products bought in a hardware store. If these chemicals are used as soon as the problem occurs, they can be effective at dissolving grease and hair. However, If this does not work. Do not delay and call in the professionals. If left untreated for long, you will cause the blockage to build up and be more difficult and possibly more expensive to treat.
