Signs of a blocked drain
- Noises coming from your drains – gurgling noises can indicate that there is air trapped within your pipes.
- Sinks becoming slower to drain – If your sink or bath doesn't drain properly, it could be a sign that your pipes are becoming clogged.
- Bad smells – A nasty smell coming from your bath, sink, shower, toilet and even taps can indicate that something is stuck and decomposing within your drain system.
- Overflowing water – Water spilling over from your drains, particularly in serious cases like overflowing manholes, is a sure sign of a blocked drain that needs immediate attention.
By keeping an eye on the early warning signs, you can prevent blockages and costly damage to your pipes and drains.
Causes of a blocked drain
So why is your drain blocked? It is important that we think about what we put down our pipes, as many everyday substances and household items can cause drainage issues.
Here are some common culprits that can wreak havoc on drainage systems:
- Fat and Oil – Grease may look like liquid when poured away, but it soon starts to solidify when it cools in your drain, causing it to stick to the sides of your pipes. Top tip: If you must pour grease away, invest in a fat trap catcher to collect it safely.
- Hair – One of the most common causes of drain blockages is hair. Whether it’s from showering or shaving, hair can accumulate and combine with other debris to form stubborn clogs.
- Food – Left over remnants of breakfast, lunch, and tea all get swept down the sink. If trapped by other items these crumbs start to decompose and smell. Foods like pasta, rice, and coffee grounds are particularly problematic as they swell or stick to the insides of your pipes. Top tip – Install mesh covers over your plug holes to reduce the amount of hair and food entering your drains.
- Fibrous materials – Items such as wet wipes, nappies, and sanitary products should always be disposed of in the bin, not flushed down the toilet. These materials can easily clog pipes and cause expensive damage.
- Chemicals – Paints and solvents should never be poured away but safely disposed of as per the instructions on the tin. Failure to do so can harm our water and be dangerous to plants and wildlife.
- Trees and shrubs – Trees near your property can cause unexpected problems. Thirsty tree roots are naturally attracted to the moisture in your pipes. Once they invade, they can grow and cause cracks or complete blockages in your drainage system.
So, think carefully about what you put down your pipes in order to avoid drain issues and preserve your drains for the future.
