Blocked sewers are a common problem in High Hesket, Cumbria, and throughout the North West of England. There are several reasons why sewers can become blocked, including:

• Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) buildup
• Flushed sanitary products
• Tree roots growing into pipes
• Pipe damage or collapse
• Foreign objects in the pipes
• Heavy rain and flooding

If left untreated, blocked sewers can cause serious problems for both public health and the environment. Sewage can back up into homes and businesses, causing damage and posing health risks. Additionally, untreated sewage can enter waterways and pollute the local ecosystem. That's why it's essential to take action immediately if you suspect that your sewer is blocked.
