Blocked drains are a common issue that can affect any property, whether old or new. They can be caused by a range of factors, including the build-up of grease, soap scum, hair, food waste, sanitary products, tree roots, or foreign objects like toys and debris. While some blockages can be fixed easily with a plunger or drain cleaner, others require a more effective solution.

If you're experiencing a blocked drain, you may notice some or all of the following symptoms:

• Slow-draining water or a gurgling noise
• Foul odours coming from the drain
• Water backing up into other drains or toilets
• Flooded floors or sinks
• Unpleasant sewage smells
• Damp patches or mould growth
• Insect or rodent infestations

These issues not only create an unpleasant living or working environment but can also pose health risks and damage your property's structure and foundations. That's why it's crucial to get your blocked drains fixed before the problem escalates.
