Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can have various causes, which is why it's essential to call in a professional if you're dealing with drainage issues. Some common causes of blocked drains include:

• Build-up of hair, grease, and food waste in the pipes
• Foreign objects, such as sanitary products, cotton buds, and wet wipes that get flushed down the toilet
• Structural damage to the pipes, such as cracks, root intrusion, or collapse

Whatever the cause of your blocked drain, our team of experts has the experience and skills to diagnose and fix the problem quickly and efficiently.

DIY Drain Unblocking Techniques to Avoid

While it might be tempting to try and fix a blocked drain yourself, it's usually best to call in a professional to avoid causing further damage to your pipes. Here are some DIY drain unblocking techniques that you should avoid:

• Using a plunger - this can push the blockage further down the pipe, making it harder to remove.
• Using chemical drain cleaners - these can corrode your pipes and cause long-term damage to your drainage system.
• Pouring boiling water down the drain - this can crack plastic pipes and cause more damage to your pipes.
