COMMON CAUSES OF BLOCKED DRAINS

Blocked drains can cause unpleasant odours, slow water flow, and even lead to water damage. By understanding the common causes of these blockages, you can take proactive steps to prevent them and keep your plumbing system running smoothly. Here are some of the most frequent reasons for blocked drains:

Hair

One of the leading causes of blocked drains, especially in bathrooms, is the accumulation of hair. Hair can easily bind with grease and other sticky substances, forming clogs that obstruct water flow.

Grease and Fat

In the kitchen, grease and fat from cooking can solidify and build up in the pipes over time. These substances can create stubborn blockages that are difficult to remove without professional drain cleaners.

Soap Scum

Soap, especially bar soap, can leave behind residue that combines with minerals in the water to form a hard, chalky substance known as soap scum. This can accumulate and restrict the flow of water through your drains.

Food Waste

Despite having a garbage disposal, food particles can still cause blockages. Coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous foods like celery or potato peels should never be disposed of down the sink as they can easily clog the pipes.

Foreign Objects

Items such as sanitary products, diapers, wipes, and even small toys can accidentally end up in your drains and cause blockages. These objects are not designed to break down in water and can cause severe obstructions.

Tree Roots

In some cases, tree roots can infiltrate your sewer lines through small cracks or joints. Once inside, they can grow and expand, causing significant blockages and even damaging your pipes.

Mineral Buildup

Hard water contains minerals that can accumulate and create scale deposits inside your pipes. Over time, this buildup can reduce water flow and lead to blockages.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our initial experience and the service provided by Eastside Plumbing and Gasfitting over the last week. Had two emergencies in one week at busy times of day (4pm one day), gave them a try, and was able to rely on them to promptly attend, provide an extremely professional service, and at a reasonable price. The follow-up report and customer service are excellent; on each occasion, we received photos of the problem as well as a report. They don’t just talk the talk when it comes to service. I will definitely use them again.
