Drainage Tips

Our emergency drainage service provides a rapid response - yet it's still best to prevent these blockage emergencies in the first place.

1. Grease, soap and slime build-up - a gradual build-up of any of these substances can cause stoppages. Grease from cooking, for example chip pans, should never be poured straight down the sink. The grease as it cools will stick to the side of the waste pipe and build up causing problems later on. Always dilute such substances with water.

2. Foreign objects and tree roots - tree roots can enter pipes where there is a weakness or small crack and start to grow inside the pipe. Foreign objects can also enter the main drain pipes from common day-to-day household waste. Keep external drains free of leaves by regularly flushing out with hot water.

3. If your soil pipe is cast iron, then it might be time to think about having it replaced. Cast iron soil and drain pipes will not last forever, and plastic alternatives are a cheap long term answer.

4. Do not flush away disposable nappies, kitchen roll or sanitary towels.

5. Remove hair that gathers in the bath or shower plug hole before it causes a blockage problem.

6. Remove scraps of food from the kitchen sink before they have the chance to cause a blockage.
