How to Keep Your Drains Flowing Freely – Expert Advice from Clean A Drain Ltd

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 Block?

Blockages can build up slowly over time or occur suddenly, and they’re often caused by:

• Grease and fat: These may go down the sink as liquids but solidify as they cool, clogging pipes.

• Hair: One of the biggest culprits in bathroom drains.

• Wet wipes and sanitary products: These don’t break down like toilet paper and can cause serious blockages.

• Tree roots: Invasive roots can crack and infiltrate underground pipes.

• Foreign objects: Kids’ toys, soap caps, or other accidental drops can obstruct water flow.

Top Tips for Preventing Blockages

Here are a few practical steps you can take to help keep your drains healthy:

1. Use Drain Guards: These inexpensive covers catch hair and debris before they go down the plughole.

2. Dispose of Cooking Oils Properly: Pour used oil into a sealed container and throw it in the bin—never down the drain.

3. Regular Hot Water Flushes: Running hot water down the drain once a week can help melt away fat buildup.

4. Watch What You Flush: Stick to the 3 Ps – pee, poo, and (toilet) paper.

5. Routine Professional Maintenance: Even if your drains seem fine, a regular check-up can help prevent future issues.

Signs of a Drain Problem

It’s important to spot the signs early so you can act quickly. Watch out for:

• Water draining slowly
