Pro Blocked Drains is a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year, emergency drainage company providing services for blocked drains. We have a network of local drainage experts covering the UK who can help you with your drain blockage problem.
You’ll be surprised at how often people don’t think about their drains until they become blocked. Once this happens, it’s important to get them unblocked quickly because they could cause serious damage if left untreated for too long! In this article, we’ll talk about why drains become blocked in the first place and what we do when they do because there are many different types of blockage that require different methods of treatment.
Let’s cover some basics first
n
Drain Unblocking Services involves removing any particles or debris from inside them before they can cause serious issues, such as overflowing into your house or causing flooding outside near where your drain connects with other parts of the system (like pipes), which then must be cleaned out manually by an expert plumber before they can be used normally again!
n
We always recommend calling us out immediately rather than trying this at home because even though it can be done safely, sometimes DIY projects go wrong easily due to a lack of experience or knowledge about how things work properly- usually resulting in more work being required later down the line anyway!
n
What is a blocked drain?
n
A blocked drain is when something has got stuck in your sewer or pipe. Wastewater can’t flow away as easily, so it backs up and fills up the sink or bath.
n
You might find out you have a blocked drain if:
n
The sink or toilet isn’t draining properly. This may be caused by something small like food waste being flushed down the toilet or something large like plastic bags.
n
There are signs of blockage outside your home – like tree roots growing into drains or drainage issues on your street (like flooding).
n
A blocked drain can be a nuisance.
n
A blocked drain can be a nuisance, especially if it’s outside and you need to get rid of water from your home or garden. But there are ways to prevent a blocked drain, from keeping the area around it clear and regularly checking for signs that the pipes may be clogged. In addition, teaching your household to take care of what they put down the drain is essential.
n
Common causes of blocked drains
n
Grease and oil: are common causes of blocked drains. If they are tipped into the sink without using a dispersant, such as washing up liquid, first, then the grease or oil can stick to the sides of the pipes and catch other debris as it goes down causing a blockage that is difficult to shift.
n
Coffee grains, tea leaves, and vegetable peelings: should never be flushed down the drain as these accumulate and cause a blockage. They should be added to the compost heap instead, as they make good compost.
n
Sanitary products: tampons, wet wipes, and even nappies have been known to clog up the toilet. These should always be disposed of in the bathroom bin.
n
Cat litter: is often tipped into the toilet as owners feel this is a more hygienic way of disposal, but the litter does not dissolve and will struggle to be flushed through the pipes. More often than not, it will accumulate at the bottom of the pipe and catch other debris as it passes by, ultimately causing a blockage.
n
Hair: will often clog the shower drain and, if not removed regularly, will eventually find its way into the drainage system and cause a blockage.
n
Kids toys: can sometimes cause a problem, especially those mini lego figures.
n
Drain Unblocking
n
If you already have a blocked drain and want to unblock it yourself, then there are several things that you can try before calling an emergency drain unblocker – such as pouring boiling water down the sink or using a plunger or baking soda and vinegar. But if something still isn’t working, then you should call in professional drainage specialists who have tools like high-pressure hoses which can blast through even the toughest blockages quickly and easily.
