Foreign Objects

Foreign objects, such as wet wipes, sanitary products, and cotton buds, can also cause blockages. These items are not designed to be flushed down the toilet and can cause severe problems for your drainage system.

Tree Roots

Roots from trees and plants can cause pipes to crack and break, leading to blockages.

Signs of a Blocked Drain

It's important to identify the signs of a blocked drain early on to prevent any further damage. Here are some signs to look out for:

Foul smell

If your drain is emitting a foul smell, it could be a sign that something is blocking the system.

Slow Water Drainage

If the water in your sinks, bathtubs or showers seems to be draining slowly, then you likely have a blockage in your drainage system.

Gurgling Sounds

If you hear gurgling sounds coming from your pipes, then it's a sign that water is not flowing well through the pipes.
