Where Are Your Drains Located?
Is your drain located outside your house or inside your house? Drains located outside in the open tend to block often as a result of fallen leaves. They are the biggest culprit. Dried leaves are light, and as a result t is easily blown by wind into pipes and drainages. At first they are harmless dead leaves, but as they accumulate they create a barrier to the flow of sewage or water.
Blockage inside the house is usually caused by obstructions such as hair, sanitary products, soap and towels.
Which Part of the House is the Blockage?
If the blockage takes place in the toilet be more careful of what you flush down there. Only flush excrete and small pieces of tissue.
If the blockage is in the kitchen, then the most probable cause would be soap, grease or food particles. Food particles are the most difficult to remove. They cause serious blockages that may necessitate a professional plumber to come and fix the situation. If you believe this is your problem then call 08442736336
