Most common causes of blocked drains and how to avoid them.
Blocked drains can be a real nuisance, causing inconvenience and potential damage to your property. Understanding the most common causes of blocked drains can help you take preventive measures to avoid them. Here are a few culprits and some practical tips to keep your drains flowing smoothly.
1. Grease and Fat Build-Up: Pouring cooking oil, grease, or fat down the drain may seem convenient, but these substances solidify over time, leading to blockages. Instead, allow them to cool and dispose of them in the bin.
2. Food Waste: Small food particles and scraps that go down the drain can accumulate and cause clogs. Use sink strainers or food catchers to prevent this from happening, and make sure to scrape plates into the bin before washing.
3. Hair: Hair is notorious for causing blockages in bathroom drains. Install a drain cover or hair catcher to trap hair before it enters the pipes. Regularly clean out these catchers to maintain their effectiveness.
4. Toiletries and Sanitary Products: Flushing items such as wet wipes, cotton balls, cotton buds, or sanitary products down the toilet can lead to significant blockages. Ensure that only toilet paper goes down the loo, and dispose of other items in the bin.
5. Tree Roots: Over time, tree roots can infiltrate underground pipes, causing blockages and damage. If you have trees near your property, consider regular maintenance or consult a professional for advice on root barriers.
6. Foreign Objects: Accidentally dropping items like jewellery, small toys, or dental floss into sinks or toilets can cause blockages. Be mindful of what goes down your drains and keep small objects away from open pipes.
To avoid blocked drains, it's crucial to establish good habits and educate household members about what should and shouldn't go down the drain. Regular maintenance, such as periodic inspections by professionals, can also help identify potential issues before they become major problems.
Remember, prevention is key. By adopting these simple practices, you can keep your drains flowing freely and maintain a hassle-free plumbing system in your home.
