Drain Blockage

Understanding Drain Blockages

If you’re a homeowner, it’s likely that you’ve dealt with a blocked drain at some point. It can be one of the most annoying and frustrating problems to deal with, but unfortunately, it’s also one of the most common plumbing issues.

What is a Drain Blockage?

When material accumulates and blocks the flow of water through your drainage system, it is called a drain blockage. You can cause this by flushing unsuitable materials down the toilet, or by putting grease down your sink. Over time, these materials accumulate and form clogs that prevent water from draining properly.

Why Are They Important?

If not addressed promptly, blocked drains can cause many problems. Some of the potential issues include:

  • Slow Draining: Water drains more slowly than usual or stops draining altogether.
  • Foul Odors: A buildup of organic material can cause unpleasant odors.
  • Water Damage: Water can only go so far as your home and cause water damage.
  • Health risks: A blocked drain can lead to stagnant water that attracts bacteria and pests.

Plus, leaving blockages untreated could lead to expensive repairs down the road.
