What Causes a Drain to Block?
A blocked drain can be caused by a variety of things, including:
Hair & Soap Scum
Hair and soap residue build up over time, especially in bathroom sinks, showers, and tubs.
Grease & Fat
Cooking oils, grease, and fat solidify in pipes, leading to stubborn blockages in kitchen drains.
Food Waste
Even small food scraps can get stuck and cause a blockage.
Baby Wipes & Hygiene Products
Unlike toilet paper, wipes, sanitary products, and nappies don’t break down easily and can cause serious blockages.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees can grow into underground pipes, causing cracks and obstructions.
Foreign Objects
Cotton buds, dental floss, and other small items accidentally flushed or dropped down drains can lead to blockages.
Collapsed or Damaged Pipes
Older or broken pipes can restrict water flow, leading to backups and slow drainage.
