1Causes of Blocked Drains and Pipes and How to
Prevent Them
Here are the common causes of blocked drains and
pipes to look out for. Knowing these should help
you come up with preventive measures before they
get worse.
2Tree Roots
Roots of trees spread underground and they tend
to be attracted to areas where there's moisture.
Drains and leaky pipes provide the necessary
moisture that tree roots are attracted to, hence
there are many cases where roots extend their
growth inside drains and pipes and cause
blockages. If roots have already grown in the
drain or pipe, cutting them back to clear it
would only be a temporary fix since the roots
could grow back and cause the same problem over
again.
3Leaves, Twigs and Other Garden Debris
Dead leaves, twigs and other garden debris are
the primary causes of clogs in gutters and
drains. This is most likely to happen during the
autumn season when leaves from trees fall in
great numbers. Always check and clear your
gutters and drains of garden debris to keep them
from accumulating and cause blockages eventually.
4Fats and Other Greasy Substances
Fats and grease stick to the sides of the drain
pipe when poured down the drain. Over time, other
substances, like bits of hair and dirt, get stuck
in them and accumulate into a mass that will
cause your drain passage to be blocked. To
prevent this from happening, don't pour fatty and
greasy substances down the drain. Put them in a
container, or bottle them up, and throw them in
the garbage bin instead.
5Problems that are Facing Due to Blocked Drains
- Because of blockages, storm water pipes can burst
or rupture and cause flooding and other issues
like water ingress. Needless to say, you would be
spending a big amount for repairs, including
excavations and replacement works. - S-bends or U-bends, such as in sink drains, would
need to be replaced. There may be cases where the
damage is really serious that it's necessary to
replace the connecting pipes as well. - Drains that are severely clogged can cause sewage
to be released into your property. Much worse if
it gets into your neighbour's or into public
property! In this case, you will be expected to
cover the cost for repairs and replacement of
damaged pipes.
