FAQ
What causes blocked drains in homes and businesses?
Blocked drains are usually caused by a buildup of everyday materials such as hair, soap scum, grease, food waste, and toilet paper. In some cases, foreign objects like wipes, sanitary items, or children’s toys can cause clogs. Outdoors, tree roots are a common cause of drain damage and blockages, especially in older pipes. Over time, mineral deposits or corrosion can also reduce pipe flow. Regular maintenance and mindful use of sinks, toilets and drains help prevent blockages. If water is draining slowly or making gurgling noises, it’s best to have a plumber inspect the system before a full blockage develops.
What are the signs of a blocked drain?
Signs of a blocked drain include slow draining water, gurgling sounds, foul odours, rising toilet water levels, or water backing up in sinks and showers. You might also notice bubbling from fixtures when another drain is used. Outdoor drains may overflow during rain if tree roots or debris are causing the blockage. Ignoring these early signs can lead to bigger problems such as burst pipes, water damage or sewage backups. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s wise to have a licensed plumber inspect the drainage system and clear the blockage before the situation escalates.
How can I prevent drains from becoming blocked?
Preventing blocked drains starts with being mindful of what goes down your sinks, toilets, and showers. Avoid disposing of grease, oil, coffee grounds, and food scraps in the kitchen sink. Use drain strainers in showers and basins to catch hair and soap. In the toilet, only flush waste and toilet paper. Outdoors, keep gutters and drains clear of leaves, and avoid planting trees near underground pipes. Regular professional drain cleaning can help maintain clear flow, especially in older homes or busy businesses. Taking these small steps can save you from dealing with messy and costly blockages in the future.
