Signs Your Drains are Blocked
While blocked drains can be damaging if left unresolved, fortunately, there are several signs that you can look out for. By knowing the signs you can ensure that you schedule timely repairs before the issue escalates. Common signs of clogged drains can include:
- Slow draining water
- Unpleasant odours from drains
- Gurgling, bubbling or other strange noises
- Water backing up in sinks, showers or toilets
- Sudden changes in water pressure
If you notice any of these signs, it is essential to contact our experienced plumbing team as soon as possible for comprehensive inspections and repairs.
What Causes Drains to Block
Clogged drains can have many different causes, all of which are a normal part of homeownership. The most common causes of drain blockages are:
- Tree roots invading and blocking pipes
- Sand mineral or clay accumulation in the pipes
- Accumulation of waste such as hair, soap scum and food scraps
- Foreign objects, including sanitary products, toys or hairpins being flushed
- A build-up of fats, oils and grease
- Corroded, damaged or misaligned pipes
While these issues can be normal there are things you can do to minimise the risk of future or recurring blockages. This can include being more aware of what is washed or flushed down your drains and educating children on what can and cannot be flushed. Keeping drains clean can also help to reduce the risk of clogs.
