Why Do Drains Get Blocked?

Understanding the causes of blocked drains can help prevent future occurrences. Common reasons include:1. Grease and Fat Build-Up: Grease and fats from cooking can solidify in pipes, causing stubborn blockages. 2. Foreign Objects: Items like sanitary products, wet wipes, and even children’s toys can block drains. 3. Hair: Accumulation of hair, especially in bathroom drains, can create significant clogs. 4. Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate underground pipes, leading to blockages and even pipe damage.At Pro Blocked Drains, we have seen it all. Our extensive experience allows us to effectively address and prevent these common issues.
