Drain Clearances

What can cause a blocked drain?

There are a few common issues that can cause your drainage system to become blocked:

These include:

• Solid deposits – Build-up of substances such as grease and oils that have cooled down and turned solid. This can have a big effect on the flow of your drainage system and cause it to back up.
• Non-flushable items – Items such as wipes and nappies or more obscure items can cause blockages within the pipework and lead to major issues.
• Environmental Issues – Blockages can form due to root infestation from surrounding trees which have grown into the drainage system or from structural damage such as displacements which could be due to ground movement.
