There are many ways in which your drains can become blocked. Sometimes, this can be due to your own negligence in looking after your property’s drainage systems. In many circumstances, however, your drains can become blocked through no fault of your own. Understanding why your drains are blocked is essential when deciding on the perfect treatment for the blockage. In most cases, it can also help you to prevent these blockages from occurring repeatedly.

Just some of the most common causes of blocked drains in homes and businesses can include:

• Collapsed Pipes and Drains – In the worst cases, certain pipes or drains in your system might have suffered too much damage over time. Whether this is due to being under too much pressure from the water system, or if the pipe chosen was unsuitable for its location or role, it is an issue which needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible. It is easy for water and waste to leak out into the surrounding soil and cause a range of different issues for your property.
• Food Waste, including FOGs – Food waste is a common cause of pipe blockages. Fats, oils and greases (FOGs) can easily create impossible to shift blockages over time. These substances can adhere to the pipe in question and quickly pile up to narrow the available space for water flow. In many cases, they can also stick to food waste as it passes by, creating an extremely resistant blockage in your pipe. These issues normally affect kitchen drains.
• Hair, Dirt and Soap Scum – In your shower or bath, the mixture that flows down the drain is extremely likely to result in a blockage at some point. Loose hairs are extremely strong and resilient. When you combine this with the dirt you are washing off, and the soap scum you are creating, it is all too easy for this mixture to create a difficult to move blockage in your pipes.
• Flushed Waste – If you choose to flush unsuitable materials, it is all too easy to create a blockage in your pipes. Kitchen roll, baby wipes and feminine products will not pass through your drains like toilet paper would. As a result, they can easily become trapped in the pipes.

Identifying exactly what kind of blockage you’re suffering from, and where it is located in the property, is essential when it comes to dealing with the issue. A professional team will be able to identify the blockage as quickly as possible using industry-leading CCTV drain surveys. CCTV drain surveys are an essential part of effective drain maintenance in Swindon.
