Blocked Drains Winchester

When one or more of your drains does become blocked, it is important that you know where it is located and how the issue developed. Failing to understand this key information can result in ineffective unblocking treatments and can often lead to the blockage returning on a regular basis.

There are several main ways for drains to become blocked, and they each require different kinds of treatment. Whereas a high-pressure water-jetting service will work on a variety of blockages, it won’t be effective if a pipe has collapsed or been damaged in some way – in the short term, it can only make the issue worse. Some of the most common causes of drain blockages in Winchester and across the South West include:

• Tree Roots – As they are attracted to the water in your drains, roots from nearby trees will attempt to access your pipes. Roots can grow into even the smallest crack or hole in the pipe. They can also grow quickly throughout your pipes and lead to extremely resilient and hard-wearing blockages.
• Vermin and Pests – It is possible that vermin, such as rats or mice, can access your drains and build their nests in your pipes. They like drainage due to its warmth, moisture and darkness. It is important that you keep an eye out for any vermin on your property, especially if you are experiencing any kind of drainage problem.
• Pipe Collapses – Although the pipes used in the drainage system are all designed to offer a hard-wearing and reliable service, they can suffer damage on occasion. If your system relies on pipes which aren’t suitable for the required pressure or capacity, then they could crack or even collapse. If a pipe collapses it can lead to a range of other issues on your property due to the escaping water, such as:
  • Compacted Soil.
  • Waterlogged Gardens.
  • Damage to Foundations.
  • Water Damage to Basement Surfaces.
  • Mould and Damp.
• Poor Drain Maintenance – If you flush the wrong materials, including kitchen roll, or dispose of things like fat, oils and greases in your kitchen sink, then you could be contributing towards tough and resilient drain blockages.
