Blocked Drains Guildford

It can be easy for your drains to become blocked in a variety of ways. Sometimes, this can be due to your own treatment of the drains in your home or business, while others may occur due to the influence of the environment, the weather or other circumstances beyond your control. These blockages can cause a wide range of problems to your property, therefore, it is important that you know why your pipes have become blocked; and avoid the same mistakes in the future.

Some of the more common causes of drain blockages in properties can include:

• Flushing the Wrong Things – Some of the most common causes of drain blockages in the UK are due to a user flushing the wrong materials down the toilet. While toilet roll and human waste is fine as it will eventually degrade in the pipes and be carried away, there is a variety of other materials which will not be so easy to dispose of. Some of the biggest problems for toilet drainage systems to handle are regular, household materials such as:
  •  Wet Wipes or Baby Wipes.
  • Kitchen Roll.
  • Sanitary Products.
  • Makeup.

These materials can become trapped in the drains and lead to difficult blockages. As the blockage will often occur near to the toilet itself, this can result in a variety of issues including slow toilet-draining, unpleasant smells and human waste becoming trapped in the pipe.

• FOGs and Food Waste – Food waste, especially fats, oils and greases (otherwise known as FOGs) are a major concern for the effective functioning of your drain. These substances can easily adhere to the inside of your pipes and gradually build up. They can completely close of your drain or simply reduce the operational width at a certain point, increasing pressure on the rest of the system. They can even contribute to the corrosion of the pipes wherever they adhere to them. Fats, oils and greases can be difficult to shift without the right equipment, so you need to get in touch with a professional team for these issues. FOG blocked drains Guildford need to be effectively cleaned and the pipe treated to prevent the issue from developing again.
• Tree Root Intrusion – One of the most serious issues for your drains can be when a tree root or other natural growth enters your drains. Roots can be attracted to the moisture in your pipes and can enter through even the smallest of cracks or gaps. Tree roots can grow extremely quickly in your drains, resulting in hard-to-shift blockages.
• Drains and Pipes Collapsing – Drains or pipes which aren’t suitable for their position in the system are often vulnerable to collapsing in on themselves. This happens most commonly for main drains before they join the main sewer lines. These pipes are placed under a large amount of pressure by the rest of the system and, when combined with the threats from soil movement or plant growth,can easily become damaged.

Here at Drainage Care, we can help you to identify the location of these blockages and ensure they are being eliminated in the best way. Thanks to our CCTV drain surveys, we can work with you to identify any drainage problems, including blockages and damage to the pipes. Following CCTV drain surveys, we will be able to recommend the best way to proceed after seeing the blockage up close.
