Reasons for a Blocked Drain

Having a blocked kitchen sink or blocked bathroom drain have common origins. The most/ more common reasons to why drains in general become clogged are from:

Excess Dirt Build-up

The excess dirt from clothes and yourself accumulate in the drain. This results in bockages and more issues. It is important that you shake yourself and your clothes outside of the shower/ washing machine/ sink before. This allows the dirt to not be washed completely into the drain.

Small Objects

Items beyond toilet paper and human waste being flushed down a toilet is highly not encouraged. This is because they clearly do not fit in the pipes connected for the toilet and cannot be easily flushed down the drain. Compost, recycling and trash should never be flushed down a toilet, otherwise a professional will need to deal with the issue.

Minerals Building Up

With minerals dissolving in hard water it can lead to your drains being blocked as they mass produce and connect. They are difficult to remove, therefore, having a qualified plumber to dissolve/ get rid of the contents is really the only option. Otherwise, installing a water softener is another method if hard water is an occurrence in your vicinity.

Hair

Being one of the most common culprits, hair can build up easily in drains. This is because they connect with grease and other sticky things and clog the drain. Before entering the shower, try to minimise the amount of hair that will fall out or regularly remove the hairs from the drain.

Soap

Traditional soap bars are made from fats or grease amongst their ingredient formula. This means that when the soap enters your drains the chance that the substances can build up. This will clog your pipes and drains, specifically taps and showers where they are more common.

Food Waste

Foods, especially coffee grounds, tea leaves, grease and oils, should never be pushed down the kitchen sink. They will easily clog the drain, therefore, simply throw the waste in the bin or compost it.

Tree Roots

These can be within drainage/ pipes when small little cracks attract them. They grow faster and bigger in the drains, therefore, this issue is never liked. Complicated and advanced plumbing work will be needed to resolve the occurrence. Make certain that you check up on your tree roots structure so that they are not close to your drainage systems.

How do we resolve blocked drain issues?

There are specific techniques which we apply to certain drains and blockages. Here are a list of techniques we use and why we use them:

Specific (Natural) Cleaners

These concoctions will be used to flush down in the drain. They will hopefully dissolve the contents within. The ingredients which may be applied are a combination of bicarb soda (baking soda) as well as white vinegar.when they react, they bubble and will perform the needed task.

Corrosive Cleaners

These dissolve grease, hair food and other grime. The chemical solution is poured down in the drain, however, do not have the power to dissolve solids. Another important point is that this is extremely harmful to the environment (the chemicals), therefore, we offer the natural cleaners if wanted but the corrosive is more powerful.

Hydro-Jet

Using a high pressure current of water, this method pushes the substances clogging the drain further down the pipe. Again, not so effective against chunky solids, yet, this method is better for your pips as it does little to no damage and can still unclog your drains.

CCTV Inspections

By placing cameras within the drains, we are able to easily see what is blocking the pipe. This will allow us to apply the most effective treatment. A rotating coil may be used to spin and cut through the solids which the other method cannot eliminate. This process, however, can cause some damage to your pipes if not done correctly due to the spinning blades.

Excavation

If the problem is more severe, cutting through the ground to access the pipes might be needed. Often used as the last resort, this method will allow the plumber to replace or repair the pipes that are clogged with substances. Due to being more time consuming and having a higher labour/ financial cost, this is left for the most severe cases of blocked drains.
