A blocked drain may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it can quickly turn into a big problem if left untreated. Over time, blockages in pipes can cause serious damage and even lead to flooding in your home.

Blocked drains are caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Grease and oil buildup in kitchen sinks and drains
• Foreign objects (such as sanitary products or baby wipes) being flushed down toilets
• Tree roots growing into pipes
• Debris and dirt buildup in outdoor drains
• Structural damage to pipes

Whether your drain is completely blocked or just draining slowly, it's important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.
