Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors, including the buildup of grease, hair, soap scum, food particles, and foreign objects. Tree roots infiltrating pipes, structural issues in the plumbing system, and heavy rainfall can also contribute to blockages.

To prevent blocked drains, avoid disposing of grease, oils, and large food particles down the sink. Use drain covers to catch hair and debris, regularly clean your drains with hot water and baking soda, and avoid flushing non-degradable items like wipes and sanitary products. Regular professional maintenance can also help prevent blockages.

If your drain is blocked, first try using a plunger to clear the blockage. If that doesn’t work, avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes. Instead, contact Safe House for professional assistance. Our experienced plumbers will use advanced tools to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue.
