Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems experienced by homeowners and businesses alike. Some of the most common causes of blocked drains include:

• Grease, fat, and oil buildup in the sewer line
• Flushed items that should not be flushed, such as baby wipes, sanitary products, and household cleaning wipes
• Tree roots growing into the sewer line
• Excess toilet paper or hygiene products
• Hair and soap buildup in the shower and sink drains

If left unaddressed, blocked drains can lead to more significant plumbing problems and even cause structural damage to your property. It's important to recognise the signs of a blocked drain and call in the experts at Drainage Cumbria for help.
