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 Southampton 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

Dispose of kitchen fluids property. If you used a deep fryer or generally use a lot of oil while cooking, try to remove the grease or fat before washing up.

Strainers

Flushing

Flush kitchen drains with hot water – build up in the kitchen sink can easily be removed with regular flushing. Pour clean, hot water down the drain once a week to prevent bacteria or residue from building up.
