As a professional sewage removal company, we know how emergency blocked drains can be a real pain for our Surrey customers. Besides the inconvenience, they can also cause water backups, unpleasant smells, and, in some cases, damage to your property. However, by understanding the reasons why blockages form in your drainage system, you can spot signs early and prevent them from wreaking havoc. Here are some of the common causes of drain blockages.

Hair and Soap Scum Build-up

Over the course of time, hair and soap residue can combine together in your drainage system to become a stubborn blockage. This may present itself as standing water in your shower refusing to drain properly. As a simple fix, you can pour drain cleaner or a home remedy of baking soda and vinegar down the plughole to loosen up the blockage. You can also install drain guards that will catch this residue before it enters your pipes. 

Remember, you can always call up a specialist such as P and S Tankers Ltd if you’re having major issues. With our experience in grease trap emptying, cesspit emptying, gully emptying and other services, we know a thing or two about effective waste removal and drain clearances.

Food Waste and Grease

This one may affect our customers who run commercial kitchens, although it also applies to our domestic customers too. Similar to hair and soap scum, if large quantities of food waste, oil and grease get into your drainage system, they can solidify and stick to pipe walls. Once stuck, they will then rot and produce a foul smell, especially in the summer when pipes heat up and the environment is more humid. Instead, ensure your food scraps are disposed of in a food waste bin. You can use sink strainers to catch any unexpected food particles before they enter your drains. Some of our customers have grease traps installed to catch grease, fats and oils and we perform grease trap emptying to ensure your drainage system continues to function as expected.

Foreign Objects

There are many foreign objects that shouldn’t go down your drainage system, although some of them may surprise you. Commonly used daily items like sanitary products, cotton swabs, contact lenses and baby wipes may seem harmless but can all contribute to a build-up. Like most things, it’s best to dispose of these in a bin instead.
