There are many factors that can cause drainage issues. The team at R.J.F Drainage Services are accomplished at clearing blocked toilets, blocked drains, root intrusions and completing quality drain repairs. Our team can undertake thorough CCTV drain surveys to best establish where problems are located in drains, what they are and the cause. As an established company in the local community, we cover domestic customers and commercial clients in Haslemere and all of the surrounding areas in Surrey and Hampshire.
Here, we have listed some of the common causes of blocked drains and toilets to help customers prevent drainage issues.
Fatty substances such as fat and grease have sticky properties and attach themselves to the inside of pipes when washed down sinks. Once stuck to the pipes, and if more grease is washed down the sink, it will build up and clog the drains, causing other liquids to be unable to pass through. By being mindful of the liquids and substances you put down your sink, fat and grease clogs can be prevented to keep your drainage system running smoothly.
Although delicate, build-ups of hair down plugs can prevent water from passing through systems and running smoothly. This can not only cause drainage problems but also a dangerous environment to shower in as products may not drain, creating an unsafe, slippery surface.
Regularly checking for the accumulation of hair in and around your plughole can help prevent blocked drains and possibly costly drain repairs. We can also complete CCTV drain surveys to establish other possible causes of blockages.
Foreign objects may not initially completely block drains, but over time they can collect and create blocked toilets and drains in Haslemere and the other areas we cover. Root intrusions are another common cause as tree roots can infiltrate and disrupt drainage systems. Our team completes quality drain repairs to fix any pipework that is broken or cracked as a result of foreign objects.
Many items claim to be flushable however, this often means that they technically can be but shouldn’t.
Toilet paper is designed to be flushable but if you flush it in excessive amounts, the paper can stick together and cause a blockage. Wipes and nappies do not disintegrate like toilet paper does and can increase in size. This means they are likely to snag on pipes and cause clogs.
If you are unsure what may be causing the blocked drains in your property in Haslemere or any of the surrounding areas, we can complete comprehensive CCTV drain surveys to establish where and what the problem is. At R.J.F Drainage Services, our experts can clear all types of blocked toilets, blocked drains, root intrusions and complete quality drain repairs.
