Blocked drains can range from being a minor inconvenience to being an urgent problem, depending on their severity. Problem drains aren\u2019t usually taken as seriously as they should be, but if they\u2019re left blocked for any length of time they can cause major issues to both houses and commercial buildings.<\/p>\n

There are a number of things that can cause a drain blockage, but some of the most common blockages come from build-ups of cooking grease in commercial buildings, scaling from wastewater produced in every home, and obstruction from foreign objects like roots, stones and wet wipes. Drains can be blocked by a build-up of anything, but regardless of what your drain has become clogged with, it can normally be unclogged.<\/p>\n

At Total Drainage Services<\/a>, by using a range of drain unblocking machines and specialist equipment such as our CCTV cameras<\/a>, our drain technicians can investigate the issue, identify the problem and remove the blockage in the most efficient way possible.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hesitate to call us<\/a> if your home or property has a blocked drain, or even if you feel there is a chance of your drainage system becoming blocked. Our fully-trained team of professionals<\/a> are at hand 24\/7 to resolve your drainage problems.<\/p>\n

If you think your drain is blocked, it\u2019s always best to seek expert advice before doing anything, especially if you don\u2019t know where the blockage is and what\u2019s causing it. Whilst it might be tempting to unblock a drain yourself, if you try to tackle the problem, you could accidentally make it worse.<\/p>\n

Whilst some might suggest remedies like pouring boiling water down the drain or creating a baking soda and vinegar solution, the best option is to call in the experts<\/a>. At Total Drainage Services, we have the tools, skills and knowledge to sort out your blockage.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What causes blocked drains?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Blocked drains are often caused by people flushing or pouring substances or objects down the drain that shouldn\u2019t be there. Common culprits include cooking fat, grease, oils, food waste, hair, wipes, sanitary towels, tampons and small toys.<\/p>\n

External factors like tree roots, leaves and other outdoor debris can cause blockages to outdoor drains.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How can I prevent a blocked drain?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Most blocked drains are easily prevented. The earlier you act, the easier the blockage is to fix. But also, the longer you leave it, the more likely you\u2019ll end up with damage to drains and pipes, leading to some costly repairs.<\/p>\n

The best way to prevent drain blockages is to watch what you\u2019re putting down your drains. For toilets, you should only be flushing down toilet paper, and only using as much as you actually need. Nappies, wipes and sanitary products like pads and tampons are not suitable for flushing and should be safely put in the bin instead. And for sinks, you can use a drain cover to stop food and other debris going down the plug hole. You should also avoid pouring oil and fat down the drain too, disposing of it instead.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How much does a blocked drain cost?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

The price of fixing a blocked drain can depend on the size of the drain, how easy it is to access and what\u2019s causing the blockage. Whatever the fee for the drain unblocking, the cost of fixing a blocked drain can be less than the price of the long term damage it can cause to your home or business if the drain or pipes are left untreated.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How can I tell my drain is blocked?” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

There are a few ways you can tell that your drain is blocked. Water not going down the plughole is the biggest sign, but also slow-draining water, bad smells, and gurgling sounds coming from your drains and pipes are all signs that your drain is blocked.<\/p>\n

If you spot any of these signs, you can get in touch with us as soon as possible. If you have blocked drains in Bristol or the South West, we can come at any time of the day (or night) to identify the blockage and tackle it effectively.<\/p>\n
