Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors. Our expert plumbers will assess the situation and identify the root cause using advanced diagnostic tools such as CCTV cameras. Some of the most common causes include:

• Grease and Fat Build-Up: Over time, cooking oils and fats can solidify in your pipes, leading to blockages.
• Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate underground pipes, causing blockages and even pipe damage.
• Hair and Soap Scum: These are common culprits in shower and sink drains.
• Foreign Objects: Items like wet wipes, sanitary products, or small toys can easily get lodged in your pipes, blocking water flow.

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

Blocked drains often start with small warning signs that, if caught early, can prevent bigger problems down the line. Keep an eye out for:

• Slow drainage in sinks, showers, or toilets
• Gurgling noises coming from your pipes
• Foul odours around drains or the toilet
• Water pooling around your shower or sink

If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait. Contact Cullen and Sons Plumbing to resolve the problem before it gets worse.

Blocked Toilets, Sinks, and Showers

We handle all types of blocked drains, from toilets to kitchen sinks to outdoor drains:

• Blocked Toilets: A toilet that won’t flush or overflows is not only inconvenient but also a health hazard. We’ll quickly and safely unblock your toilet.
• Blocked Sinks: Food scraps, grease, and soap residue are common causes of blocked kitchen sinks. We’ll clear the blockage and ensure your sink drains smoothly.
• Blocked Showers and Basins: Hair and soap can easily clog up bathroom drains, leading to slow drainage or standing water. We’ll clear the drain and restore proper water flow.

Preventing Blocked Drains

While we’re always here to help, there are steps you can take to prevent blockages from occurring in the first place:

• Dispose of grease properly: Never pour cooking oils down the sink. Let them solidify and dispose of them in the rubbish.
• Use drain covers: In showers and sinks, use covers to catch hair and other debris before it enters your pipes.
• Avoid flushing non-degradable items: Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Items like wipes and sanitary products should go in the bin.
• Regular maintenance: Have your drains inspected regularly to catch potential problems before they become serious.
