What causes a blocked drain?

There are many different causes for blocked drains and there are many different methods for unblocking drains depending on the cause and location of the blockage. Common causes of blocked drains in Fairfield are due to excess build up in pipes. Build ups can be due to excess oils, fats, sludge, hair strands and other heavy matter and materials which enters pipes. Another cause of blocked drains may be due to tree roots blocking the drain. Blocked drains can also be caused by build up of minerals or blockage of foreign objects or matter obstructing the drain pipes.

What to do if you have a blocked drain?

Be cautious of commercial products which claim to unblock drains through pouring harsh chemicals down the drain pipes as these harsh chemicals can weaken and cause damage to pipes. If it is a small blockage, you can try to mix vinegar and baking soda (around 1/3 of a cup each) and pour it down the drain. Leave it for at least one hour and flush it down with hot water. These household products will not be as harsh as some of the commercial drain clearing products that you can find on the market. If you can see the small blockage, you can try to scoop out the gunk with a metal wire hanger, just be careful not to push the gunk further down the drain. If you have a plunger or a drain snake, you can also have a go at unblocking your drain with them, however if all else fails, then you probably have a tough blockage that requires work of a professional plumber.

How to prevent a blocked drain

There are many simple things that can be done to prevent blocked drains. While many of these tips may be common knowledge, it is always nice to have friendly reminders to keep us conscious of how we can prevent an annoying blocked drain. One thing which can be done to prevent blocked drains is by not growing trees outdoors near your driveway or close to any drainage pipes. It may be a surprise to some that they have a blocked drain due to tree roots. This is because tree roots can detect nearby water sources and grow towards the water source, eventually growing around pipes and breaking through them in order to get access to the water. Another simple way to prevent drainage blockage is not to pour down fats and oils down the sink drain when washing the dishes, these are very common causes of blocked kitchen sinks. Find a way to reuse oils or put oils in an oil disposable or garbage disposal. For safety reasons, make sure the oil is not hot when disposing of it. In order to prevent a blocked shower drain and if you or others in your household have many hair strands falling out in the shower, you can purchase a hair catcher to put over your shower drain. This way the hair strands do not fall down the drain thereby reducing build up in the shower drains and prevents shower drain blockages. To prevent a clogged toilet, do not throw sanitary items, baby wipes or anything heavier than tissue paper. Be wary of some products which claim to be flushable such as flushable wipes, as some have still created blockages in toilets.

Blocked Drain Prevention Summary:

  • Don’t plant trees near your drainage pipes.
  • Don’t pour fats, oils and insoluble liquids down your kitchen sink.
  • You can use a hair catcher in the shower.
  • Don’t throw anything heavier than tissue paper in the toilet and be wary of wipes that claim to be flushable.

While the above might be common knowledge, it is always good to have simple reminders once in a while as it can be very easy to ignore these easy preventative measures for the sake of convenience.
