What Causes Clogged Drains? 

Blocked drains are caused by a variety of factors, but they are usually caused by an accumulation of debris. This can include anything from hair and soap scum to food scraps. Other common culprits include dirt, grease, and foreign objects like jewelry or toys that have been accidentally flushed down the toilet. Over time, this debris accumulates and creates a blockage that prevents water from easily flowing through the pipe.

How Can I Prevent Blocked Drains?

The best way to prevent blocked drains is by regularly cleaning them out yourself with a plumbing snake or auger. This tool works by breaking up any clogs that may have formed in the pipes and clearing them away. Additionally, it's important to practice good habits when it comes to what goes down your drain—make sure not to put any food scraps or foreign objects down there! Keeping up with regular maintenance can also help reduce the risk of blocked drains significantly.

What are some signs that a drain is blocked?

Some of the common signs that a drain is blocked include: an unpleasant odor, slow draining, gurgling sounds coming from the pipes, water backing up into other fixtures connected to the same drain, and overflowing toilets or sinks. In addition, if you can't see any water draining away when you run the tap or flush the toilet, this could be a sign that the drain is blocked.

What are some common causes of blocked drains?

Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors, but the most common culprits include an accumulation of debris like hair, soap scum, food scraps, dirt, and grease. Foreign objects that have been inadvertently flushed down the toilet can also cause blockages. In some cases, tree roots can grow into pipes and create clogs.
