What causes blocked drains

Numerous factors can lead to blocked drains, which can create a variety of problems. The buildup of grease and oil as well as outside elements that affect more than just your property are typical offenders. Unforeseen threats, including road interference or invasive tree roots, might suddenly harm and compress pipelines. Pipe collapses and cracks can also be caused by old drains.

Drain blockages are a frequent issue for both homes and businesses. It is crucial to comprehend the reasons for these obstructions and ask for our help removing them. Below, we’ve listed some of the major contributing elements.

Organic materials

A lot of organic materials, such as hair or food scraps, unintentionally make their way into drains and get stuck along the pipeline, causing clogs. Organic compounds are normally biodegradable, but when coupled with other materials, they can cause clogs that are difficult to remove and can be expensive if ignored.

Storms/heavy rain

After a storm or severe rain, drains that are outside your property may become blocked. Because these drains are not made to manage significant amounts of water, numerous foreign objects may get stuck during heavy precipitation and clog them. It is imperative to regularly clear your gutters of leaves and other debris because clogs frequently result from this.

Broken pipes

Blocked drains are frequently caused by broken pipes. Age, improper installation, and tree roots can all contribute to the degeneration of pipes. Such problems can be difficult to fix and frequently necessitate a full investigation of your home’s subsurface plumbing system.

Incorrect pipe installation

Misalignment or the use of the wrong pipeline materials can cause improper drainage installation, which can have serious repercussions for your property and possibly your neighbours as well. Holymess Repairs has a thorough understanding of plumbing systems, assuring accurate pipe installations and reducing the possibility of issues in the future.
