Blocked Drain FAQs

What causes blocked drains?

Blocked drains can occur for numerous reasons, with some of the most common causes being the build-up of fats, oils, and grease that solidify in your pipes. Hair and soap scum frequently accumulate in bathroom drains, while flushing inappropriate items like wet wipes or sanitary products can lead to serious blockages.

Natural issues such as tree root intrusion can also cause problems, gradually breaking into pipes and causing blockages or damage. Additionally, structural problems like pipe damage or collapse can result in persistent drainage issues, while outdoor drains often become blocked by leaves and debris, especially during autumn months. Our experts can quickly identify the specific cause of your blockage and implement the most effective solution.

How can I prevent my drains from getting blocked?

To prevent blocked drains Watford, the most important step is to be mindful of what goes down your drains. Never pour fats, oils, or grease down the sink - instead, let them cool and dispose of them in the bin. Installing drain guards in your showers and baths will also help catch hair and debris before they can cause problems.

Regular drain maintenance is also key, and we recommend scheduling professional checks to catch any issues early. In the bathroom, only flush toilet paper down the toilet, as other products can cause serious blockages. These simple preventative measures can save you time, money, and the inconvenience of dealing with blocked drains.

What should I do if I have a blocked drain?

If you notice signs of a blocked drain, it's important to act quickly to prevent the situation from worsening. First, try to identify which drain is affected - you can do this by checking if the problem is isolated to one area or affects multiple outlets. To prevent potential overflow and water damage, avoid using any plumbing fixtures connected to the blocked drain. While it might be tempting to use chemical drain cleaners, we strongly advise against this as they can damage your pipes and potentially make the problem worse. Instead, contact our professional team at FS Drainage - we have the right tools and expertise to safely and effectively clear your blockage without causing any damage to your drainage system.
