Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains are a common issue found in most households. We have seen it all, from soap residue, hair, and food waste to greases and foreign objects. The following causes are some of the most common culprits of blocked drains:

Grease Buildup

Grease is the most common cause of blocked drains. When we wash greasy dishes or rinse off greasy pans, that grease gets washed down the drain where it cools and solidifies. Over time, it creates blockages that hinder water flow to the drainage system. It is advised not to dispose of oils and fats in your sink and to include them in your compost pile.

Foreign Objects

We often find foreign objects that have been carelessly thrown in drains. It could be anything from sanitary products, baby wipes, and hair to toys or anything else that could block water flow.

Tree Roots

Our team of experts at Drainage Cumbria has seen pipes damaged by tree roots that grow into them. The growth of the root can cause cracks, collapses, or blockages, impacting the flow of your draining system.
