Drain Blockage

Understanding Drain Blockages

A blocked drain is something that most homeowners have dealt with at one time or another. It can be one of the most annoying and frustrating problems to deal with, but unfortunately, it’s also one of the most common plumbing issues.

What are Drain Blockages?

When material accumulates and blocks the flow of water through your drainage system, it is called a drain blockage. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as flushing inappropriate materials down the toilet or pouring grease down the sink. These materials can build up over time and block water draining properly.

Why Are They Important?

If not addressed promptly, blocked drains can cause many problems. Some of the potential issues include:

  • Slow Draining: Water drains more slowly than usual or stops draining altogether.
  • 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: A blocked drain can lead to stagnant water that attracts bacteria and pests.

Also, if blockages are left untreated, it could cause costly repairs later.
