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.
