How to Prevent Blocked Drains

blocked drains

A blocked drain is typically the main vessel or channel for waste or harmful liquid waste to be flushed away, either into a sewer Funnel, or to a suitable receptacle, such as a septic tank. Blocked drains occur because of the accumulation of unwanted solid and liquid wastes in the pipe connecting the drain and the sewer. If the pipe from the drain can no longer accommodate the volume of the wastes, such as in the case of a drainage pipe that is located near a home’s foundation, then the blocked drain becomes a major inconvenience and may even be hazardous, causing damage to property and injuries. For this reason, it is necessary to immediately block a blocked drain in order to prevent further damage to property and injuries caused by an overflowing drain.

There are several causes of blocked drains, including construction activities, soil conditions, clogged drains caused by sludge or solid debris settling along its length, and failures of plumbing pipes. In most cases, blocked drains occur in the sewer system, where the main component is the sewer line that carries waste water from the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry facilities to its ultimate destination, your septic tank. Normally, this part of a house has a series of drains, from which it takes sewage waste water from its source to the sewer. If any of these drains become obstructed, then the water is diverted to another drain, which then connects with the main sewer line. If left untreated, a blocked drain can cause serious flooding that can endanger people and damage properties. This is why it is extremely important to block blocked drains in order to prevent floods and subsequent damage to your home and property.

One of the many reasons why your home may become blocked with debris is due to soil conditions. If the top layer of soil is dry and hard, it can get in the way of your plumbing system, preventing it from functioning properly and causing blocked drains. For this reason, it is important to regularly check on the condition of your soil in your garden, lawn, and yard to make sure there are no mud or loose rocks in your garden so that you will not need to call us to remove a clog caused by this type of condition.

Another common cause of blocked drains is broken pipes. When a pipe breaks, it can be very difficult for your plumbers to access the exact location of the problem, which can result in more damage to your property and delayed time for getting your blocked drains fixed. In some cases, when broken pipes have been repaired, the broken area may not have been completely sealed off from the rest of the area, causing more moisture to build up. If you live in an area that experiences high water temperatures during the summer months, you are especially advised to call us to fix your blocked drains as soon as possible because broken pipes and high water temperatures can make the problem even worse and result in blocked drains and problems with mold and mildew.

Finally, another major cause of blocked drains is structural damage caused by plumbing leaks and sink leaks. It is impossible for a plumber to identify the exact location of the leak or the cause of the leak itself, which is why it is crucial for you to take action when you notice a leak or a crack in your sink or in your foundation. In most cases, a simple cleaning of the area will allow your plumbers to determine if a leak is being caused by structural damage, which in turn, will allow them to repair any damages that they see.

Blocked drains are very common and can be caused by many different things. In most cases, it is necessary for you to call a professional to fix your blocked drains. In some extreme cases, you may be able to fix the problem yourself, but in most cases, it is best for you to call in a professional to properly address the problem. Your blocked drain issues should never be ignored, since ignoring these issues can result in more serious damage to your home or property, in addition to inconveniencing you and your family. Do not let a blocked drain get out of control; contact a professional to fix the problem as soon as possible.
