The Root Cause Of Drain Blockages!

A blocked drain can lead to blockages in your entire property's plumbing system. So, if the water pressure in your taps has reduced or the water going down the drain is taking longer than normal, you have blocked drains.

There are several things that can cause blocked drains, including:

Tree roots can sometimes grow into your pipes and cause them to break or just clog them.

Grease and fat build-up from cooking and cleaning. Moreover, food waste that despite all your efforts can end up in the drain and block it.

Hair and soap scum built up can clog shower drains or sink drains. Hair getting stuck in the drain is in fact the most common reason blockages in the shower drains.

Why Us?

Bicarb Soda and Vinegar:

The reaction caused by the bicarb and vinegar can scrub and clean grime from drains, and occasionally unblock them. Simply pour the bicarb soda down your drain, followed by the vinegar and wait for the reaction to happen.

Store-bought cleaners and Plungers:

If you have a light blockage, you can either use a plunger or a store-bought liquid drain cleaner. It is always handy to have these two things to get rid of any light blockages. When it comes to the liquid drain cleaners always check the labels on the bottle to make sure you're using the right one. These cleaners should be used sparingly as they can be harmful to the environment.

Pipe snake:

A pipe snake is a bendable metal rod with a claw on the end. The rod is inserted into the drain and the claw end spins creating enough pressure to clear out the blockage.
