Let's investigate drain blockages

What causes a blocked drain?

Many blockages can occur in your drains or the large sewer system due to people disposing of nappies, sanitary products, and general waste down the toilet.

However, another common cause is when grease, fat, and oils are poured down the sink.

Blockages can easily occur and can cause serious blockages for you and your neighbours this way. It can also occur if you typically push small food particles down the drain after washing up.

What can you do to help prevent the blockage?

Of course, while our Portsmouth blocked drain services are available 24/7, there are easy ways to keep your drains in good working condition yourself. Below are some simple things to consider to ensure your drains stay unblocked:

Fluids etc

Strainers
