When everything’s working fine, most people don’t give their drains a second thought. But once a blockage hits, it can turn into a messy, smelly, and expensive problem fast. At Clean A Drain Ltd, we know that prevention is always better than cure. Whether it’s a simple kitchen sink blockage or a full drainage system issue, we’re here to help you keep things flowing smoothly.
Why Do Drains Get Blocked?
Drain blockages can build up gradually or happen suddenly. Common culprits include:
🛢️ Grease & Fat -These may go down the sink as liquids but solidify as they cool, sticking to pipe walls.
💇 Hair - A major cause of clogs in bathroom sinks and showers.
🧻 Wet Wipes & Sanitary Products - Unlike toilet paper, these don’t break down and can cause major backups.
🌳 Tree Roots - Roots can crack and invade underground pipes, causing serious damage.
🎲 Foreign Objects - Accidental drops—like small toys or bottle caps—can obstruct water flow.
Top Tips to Prevent Drain Blockages
Protect your drains with these simple habits:
🛡️ Use Drain Guards - Catch hair, food bits, and debris before they enter your pipes.
♻️ Dispose of Oil Properly - Never pour cooking fats or oils down the sink. Let them cool, then bin them.
🔥 Flush with Hot Water - Run hot water down your drains weekly to help dissolve any fat buildup.
🚽 Mind What You Flush - Only flush the 3 Ps: Pee, Poo, and Paper. Nothing else.
🔧 Book Routine Maintenance - A regular check from our team can catch issues before they become emergencies.
