Causes of Drain and Sewer Blockages

The most common cause of a drain or sewer blockage is the accumulation of grease and oil, which can solidify and harden over time and form a blockage. Foreign objects, such as sanitary items, can also cause blockages.

If you have trees in your yard, their roots can penetrate and break sewer pipes, causing blockages. Finally, aging pipes can also contribute to clogs as they can become brittle and collapsed over time.

If left unchecked, a clogged drain or sewer can have serious consequences. One of the biggest risks is the spread of harmful bacteria, which can have serious health impacts, especially for people with compromised immune systems. Blockages can also cause extensive damage to your property, resulting in costly repairs.

Regular maintenance of your drains can help prevent blockages. This includes avoiding pouring grease or oil down the drain, using a drain cover to catch hair and other debris, and avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet.
Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors including buildup of debris, foreign objects, grease, tree roots, and broken pipes. It is important to identify the underlying cause in order to prevent future blockages.
Professional drain unblocking services can offer a range of benefits, including faster and more effective resolution of blockages, use of specialized equipment to identify and resolve underlying issues, and expert advice on preventing future blockages. Additionally, professional drain unblocking services can minimize the risk of damage to your pipes and plumbing system.
Generally, 99% of all blockages that are cleared by our engineers are cleared within the first 30-60 minutes. But, some blockages may take longer depending on the severity.
If you are having recurring blockages, there may be a defect in the pipe which is causing the blockage. We would recommend carrying out a CCTV inspection to see if there is a reason why the drain is having issues. Our engineers carry drain inspection cameras and can have a look at this for you while they are cleaning the blockage and produce a report.
