The most common causes of blocked drains
If the drain is outside:
- Fallen leaves blocking the drain entrance
- Heavy rain causing pipes to flood
- Garden debris
- Mud that have caused the block
If the drain is inside:
- Grease in the kitchen sink
- Hair in the shower
- Food waste blocking up the dishwasher drainage pipe
What should I do if my drain is blocked?
If you have a blocked drain, there’s a few DIY fixes that you may have tried to shift the blockage.
These are easy enough to try before calling out a professional:
- Fill the kettle to the top and boil it
- Pour at least half the contents down the drain
- Wait 10 minutes and then test the drainage
If that doesn’t work you can also try a natural cleaner to clear the blockage:
- Measure 200g of Bicarbonate of Soda
- Pour 250 ml of vinegar into a jug
- Add the BiCarb and mix
- Pour down the drain and wait 15 minutes
- Pour another kettle of hot water
If you have a big blockage, then a DIY drain clearance fix will unlikely do the job.
You might clear the immediate problem but the block extends deep into the pipe, and it’ll only take a couple days for things to stop draining or flushing away properly again.
If you’ve already tried:
- Pouring boiling water
- Pouring a homemade cleaner and flushing with water
- Leaving the drain for a while and then flushing again later
You’re not out of solutions, so don’t get frustrated or panic. That’s where we come in.
