What Causes Blocked Drains?
Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors, and it often depends on where the blockage occurs. Common causes include:
- Kitchen Sinks: Food particles, grease, and soap scum build-up can create stubborn blockages in kitchen sink drains.
- Bathroom Sinks & Showers: Hair, soap, and toothpaste residue are common culprits for blocked bathroom drains.
- Toilets: Flushing non-flushable items such as sanitary products, wet wipes, or excessive toilet paper can lead to serious blockages.
- Outdoor Drains: Leaves, dirt, and debris can clog outdoor drainage systems, especially during heavy rainfall or seasonal changes.
No matter the source, blocked drains need to be cleared promptly to prevent further damage to your pipes and surrounding areas.
The Problem with Blocked Drains
A blocked drain can cause more than just an inconvenience. It can result in slow draining water, unpleasant odours, and in severe cases, flooding. If left untreated, blocked drains can also lead to pipe corrosion, leaks, and structural damage to your home. A blocked toilet can disrupt your household, while a clogged kitchen sink makes everyday tasks difficult. The longer you wait to address the problem, the worse it can get, potentially leading to costly repairs or replacements.

Why It’s Important to Fix Blocked Drains ASAP
