The Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can be caused by various factors, including:

• Flushed items that should not be flushed, such as sanitary products or baby wipes, which can cause blockages in pipes or septic systems
• Hair, grease, and soap buildup in bathroom drains
• Food debris in kitchen sink drains
• Tree roots infiltrating underground pipes
• Broken pipes, which can lead to debris buildup and blockages

Fixing Drain Issues

If you notice any of the following signs, you may have a blocked drain:

• Slow draining water in sinks, showers, or tubs
• A gurgling sound or bad smell coming from drains
• Water backing up into sinks or tubs
• Pools of water forming in your yard

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is important to act quickly to avoid further damage. DIY methods, such as using a plunger or drain cleaner, may only provide a temporary fix and could make the problem worse.
