There are seemingly innocent products all over your house that pose a slow and steady threat to your drains. Every drain in your home has its own set of culprits.
Shower: Soap scum, hair and dirt slowly work their way down the shower drain. Over time, the buildup will cause a nasty drain blockage. Before the drain becomes completely blocked, you’ll notice the drain slowing and water taking longer to drain.
Bathroom Sink: Hair gets into the bathroom sink too. Toothpaste and soap residue will also build up over time, backing up your drain.
Kitchen Sink: We all love having a garbage disposal in prime working order. The problem is, it almost dares you to cram any type of kitchen waste down its throat. The main drain blockage reasons are food particles and kitchen grease.
Blocked Sewer
The main sewer line leading from the council sewer to your home can be blocked due to tree roots, accumulation of waste or a bow in the pipes. A drain cleaning machine will need to be used to remove the blockage. In some cases, a drain camera may need to be used to locate the cause of the blockage to prevent it happening again.
Blocked Toilet
A blocked toilet can be caused from too much paper waste, not enough water flow or flushing the wrong waste. The toilet should only flush pee, poo and paper as quoted by Qld Urban Utilities. Children can flush toys or unknown objects down the toilet. Often a plunger can remove the blockage, but in some cases, a machine may need to be used to remove the blockage.
Blocked Shower or Bath Drain
A blocked shower or bath drain is usually caused by an accumulation of hair and soap, which can congeal at the bottom of the drain. This sludge can cause waste water to back up through the drain.
Blocked Basin or Sink
Basin drains can catch hair, toothpaste and soap and this can cause the s-trap to block up if not enough water is used to drain away. Sometimes the trap may need to be replaced or cleaned out to clear the waste.
Blocked Stormwater Drain
A blocked stormwater drain can be cause from water run off that moves sand, dirt, leaves and even rubbish into the stormwater grate and pit. Be vigilant in cleaning gutters and checking downpipes to prevent blockages.
