Identifying the Causes
Broken or worn-out pipes are a major cause of blocked drains. The pipe's diameter can shrink over time, causing it to become narrower and less effective at draining water.
- Clogged hair and debris from washing machines, showers, and sinks can accumulate in the pipes and block them.
- Tree roots growing into the pipes can cause damage and blockages.
- The use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage pipes and lead to blockages.
