Blocked Drains

A blocked drain is more than just an inconvenience—it can lead to nasty odors, water damage, and even structural issues if left untreated. Whether it’s a slow-draining sink, a backed-up toilet, or an overflowing outdoor drain, BHM Plumbing & Gas is here to help!

Why Do Drains Get Blocked?

Blocked drains can happen for many reasons, including:

Toilet Blockages – Caused by excess toilet paper, baby wipes, sanitary products, or foreign objects.
Kitchen Sink Clogs – Grease, food scraps, and coffee grounds can build up over time.
Bathroom Drain Issues – Hair, soap scum, and small debris can create stubborn blockages.
Outdoor Drain Problems – Leaves, dirt, and tree roots can clog stormwater drains, leading to flooding.

Tree Roots & Debris Build-Up
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can infiltrate underground pipes, leading to severe blockages. Debris such as leaves and dirt can also restrict water flow over time.
Grease, Soap & Hair Accumulation
Kitchen sinks and bathroom drains are prone to buildup from grease, soap scum, and hair, which can gradually clog pipes and slow drainage.
Foreign Objects & Structural Issues
Flushed wipes, sanitary products, and other foreign items can cause significant blockages. Additionally, aging pipes may collapse or shift, leading to recurring drainage problems.

Prevent Future Blocked Drains – Easy Maintenance Tips

Dispose of Grease Properly – Never pour fats or oils down the sink—let them solidify and throw them in the bin.
Use Drain Covers – Prevent hair and debris from going down bathroom sinks, baths and showers.
Flush Wisely – Only flush toilet paper—no wipes, sanitary products, or paper towels.
Regular Maintenance Checks – A professional drain inspection can catch small issues before they become big problems.
Septic System Care – Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can kill the beneficial bacteria needed for septic tanks to function properly. Stick to natural solutions like baking soda and vinegar in moderation.
