Drain Blockage

Understanding Drain Blockages

If you’re a homeowner, it’s likely that you’ve dealt with a blocked drain at some point. This can be a frustrating and annoying problem to solve, but it is also one of most common plumbing problems.

What is a Drain Blockage?

Drain blockages occur when material builds up and obstructs the flow of water through your drainage system. You can cause this by flushing unsuitable materials down the toilet, or by putting grease down your sink. Over time, these materials accumulate and form clogs that prevent water from draining properly.

Why Are They Important?

If not addressed promptly, blocked drains can cause many problems. Here are some possible problems:

  • Slow Drainage: Water drains slower than normal or stops draining entirely.
  • Foul Odors: A buildup of organic material can cause unpleasant odors.
  • Water Damage: Water can only go so far as your home and cause water damage.
  • Health Risks: The stagnant water caused by a blocked drain can attract pests and bacteria.

Plus, leaving blockages untreated could lead to expensive repairs down the road.
