The most common causes of drain blockages
Most drain blockages can be solved really quickly by drain cleaning experts with the help of drain jetting equipment. Drain blockages can be caused by many things, with the general public the major cause of blockages. They don’t seem to understand that the drainage system is not a waste disposal unit and cannot handle all types of waste.
The three most common causes of blocked drains are:
• Grease and fats poured down the sink
• Sanitary towels and nappies flushed down the toilet
• Garden debris and general waste entering the drains outside your home
Most people are not aware that these things can block a drain until they have a blockage themselves. And, not only is this the hard way to learn it’s quite an expensive way too. By being careful about what you put into your drainage system, you can reduce the amount of times that you will need to call a specialist drain cleaning company.
If you do have a blocked drain, your drain cleaning company will jet the drainage system to remove the blockage. This involves directing a jet of water at high pressure into the drain and breaking up any blockage that may be causing the problem.
