Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Drain blockages can develop gradually or occur suddenly. Some of the most common causes include:

Fat, Oil and Grease Build-Up

Cooking fats and oils can solidify inside pipework, reducing water flow and eventually causing complete blockages.

Wet Wipes and Sanitary Products

Many products advertised as flushable do not break down properly and can become trapped within drainage systems.

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter damaged drainage pipes, causing serious blockages and structural damage.

Collapsed or Damaged Pipes

Older drainage systems can deteriorate over time, leading to restricted flow and recurring drainage problems.

Foreign Objects

Children's toys, paper towels and household waste can often become lodged within pipework.

High Pressure Water Jetting

For stubborn blockages and heavily contaminated drains, we utilise professional high-pressure water jetting equipment.

Water jetting can effectively remove:

• Grease deposits
• Scale build-up
• Silt accumulation
• Tree roots
• General debris

This method not only clears blockages but also helps clean the entire pipe interior.

CCTV Drain Surveys Available

If blockages continue to return, there may be an underlying structural issue within the drainage system.

Our CCTV drain survey service allows us to inspect underground drainage systems and identify:

• Cracked pipes
• Root ingress
• Collapsed drains
• Misaligned joints
• Structural defects

Following the inspection, we provide recommendations for any necessary repairs.
