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 is a Drain Blockage?

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. Over time, these materials accumulate and form clogs that prevent water from draining properly.

Why Are They Important?

Blocked drains can lead to numerous problems if not dealt with promptly. Here are some possible problems:

  • 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 has nowhere else to go but back up into your home, causing water damage.
  • Health Risks: The stagnant water caused by a blocked drain can attract pests and bacteria.

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