What blocks drains?
Blocked drains can happen for a variety of reasons, the most common ones are:
Tree roots - Tree roots block sewer and stormwater pipes as the pipes become damaged, the tree's take advantage of the continuous water supply and invade the pipe.
Sanitary wipes - These are a big problem with blocked drains. Unfortunately a lot of wipes are sold as "flush-able" but please do not flush them, it causes a lot of damage to your sewerage system and they do not degrade like toilet paper does.
Oil, Grease and Hair - Gradual build ups of oil grease and hair can block drains in your kitchen sink, hand basin and shower, eventually blocking the drains they connect to.
If you have blocked drains, or would like drain cleaning as part of your yearly maintenance then call Bridgewater Plumbing today.
Try unblock it yourself
If you've got blocked drains, you might want to try unblock them yourself before you call a plumber out.
If your toilet, sink or shower blocks up suddenly, there might be a simple blockage in the line. Try a household plunger in the blocked toilet, sink or shower to see if you can loosen the blockage.
Hot water - Pouring boiling hot water into the shower waste or down the hand basin and kitchen sink is also a good, affordable way to loosen up stubborn build ups of fat, hair and soap.
If you try "drain unclogging" liquids from the supermarket and the drain still wont unblock, please advise your plumber that you have used the chemicals. The plumbers will thank you for telling us! The chemicals can be dangerous if we don't know about them.
