Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains are a common problem that can cause a lot of frustration for homeowners. Some of the most common causes of blocked drains include:

• Build-up of fats, oils, and grease: pouring leftover cooking oil or fats down the drain can lead to a build-up, causing a blockage.
• Flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet: items such as sanitary products, wet wipes, and cotton buds should not be flushed down the toilet as they can cause a blockage in the pipes.
• Tree roots invading the pipes: tree roots can grow into pipes, causing blockages and leaks.
• Build-up of hair and soap scum: hair and soap scum can build up in the pipes, causing a blockage.

Fixing Blocked Drains

If you have a blocked drain in Laversdale Lane, Drainage Cumbria offers a range of effective solutions to fix the problem:

• Plunger: a plunger is a simple and effective tool to remove blockages. By creating suction, a plunger can dislodge any blockage in the pipe.
• Drain snake: a drain snake is a flexible tool that can be used to reach blockages in the pipe. As it is a manual tool, it requires some strength and skill to use effectively.
• High-pressure water jetting: high-pressure water jetting is one of the most efficient ways to clear a blocked drain. This method involves using a high-pressure water jet to blast the blockage away, leaving the pipes clean and clear.
• Drain excavation: if the blockage is severe, it may be necessary to excavate the drain. Drainage Cumbria can conduct a drain excavation to remove blockages and fix any structural issues with the pipe.
• Drain relining: drain relining involves inserting a new lining into the damaged pipe, creating a new inner surface. This method can fix cracks, leaks, and other structural issues with the pipe without the need for excavation.
