Causes of blocked drains When you encounter a clogged drain, the first thing to remember is that not all problems are related to household waste. Here we will discuss the causes and possible solutions to blocked drains in your home. We also look at what can be done if this problem has affected commercial premises such as shops and offices.
What leads to blocked drains? Blocked drains can occur in several ways, and there are several reasons why your drain clogs up. There is not always an apparent cause to look for when attempting to clear up an obstructed drainpipe. Some of the most common causes include tree roots invading the piping system or problems with toilet plumbing (for example, if it's leaking slowly into the surrounding soil). Waste may also accumulate over time due to excess fat in the kitchen sink (if you like cooking greasy foods), or it could be that you neglect cleaning out waste after using the garbage disposal unit in your home.
