Common Causes of Drain Blockages

Without a doubt the biggest cause of drain blockages are wet wipes being flushed down the toilet. Other items are also occasionally discovered such as nappies, cotton buds, and even small toys these non-flushable items can cause a restriction to the water flow and other items can collect behind them eventually causing a backlog of waste in the pipes.

Fats, Oils and Grease are another big culprit. These cool down and solidify in the drain and cause a build up over time eventually cutting off the flow entirely.

Internal damage to the drains. Sometimes the drains themselves collapse sealing the passage for water to flow. Poor installation/design of the drains with insufficient fall and low water content cisterns certainly don't help.

External factors such as tree roots can work their way into the drain causing serious obstruction and can displace the joints and in some cases cause the drain to collapse.
