Common Causes of Blocked Drains Dorset

Fat and Grease Buildup

One of the most common causes of blocked drains is the buildup of fat, oil, and grease. When these substances are poured down the sink, they harden and stick to pipe walls, eventually causing blockages. Learn how to prevent fat and grease blockages.

Wet Wipes and Sanitary Products

Wet wipes, sanitary products, and other non-biodegradable items don’t break down in water, making them major culprits in clogging pipes. Flushing these items can lead to significant blockages in drains and sewer systems. Read more about the impact of flushing wipes.

Structural Defects

Cracks, misaligned joints, and other structural defects in pipes can trap debris, leading to gradual blockages. Regular drain inspections can help identify and repair these issues before they escalate. Find out how structural defects affect drains.

Hard Water Scale

In hard water areas, limescale buildup can gradually reduce pipe diameter, restricting water flow and increasing the risk of blockages. Descaling treatments can help to mitigate this issue. Explore solutions for hard water scale buildup.

Tree Roots

Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can infiltrate drainage systems, especially in older pipes, leading to severe blockages or even pipe damage. Learn how tree roots can impact your drains.

Blocked Drains Dorset FAQs

What are some signs of a blocked drain in my Dorset, Hampshire or Somerset property?

There are a number of tell-tale signs:

  • Slow-draining sinks and showers or baths. Gurgling sounds coming from drains.
  • Toilets that do not flush properly.
  • Unpleasant smells from drains.
  • Visible flooding at around drains or manholes. If you are experiencing any of these signs, the best thing to do is to seek help from professional drainage companies like Rapid Drains, for them to diagnose and offer a solution.

What may be causing the drain blockages in Dorset, Hampshire or Somerset?

Many factors contribute to clogged drains in these areas. Invasion of tree roots into drains: Tree roots gain entry into drains and cause blockages as a result of the sandy ground soil and mature trees in Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset.

Drains can be blocked over time by sandy soil which can easily erode into them. Grease, soap scum, hair and other kinds of debris gather in drains thereby causing blockages. Blockages occur because periods of heavy rainfall, especially during winter months, are too much for drainage systems to handle.

How can I prevent blocked drains in my Dorset, Hampshire or Somerset property?

Here are some preventative measures you can take:

  • Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain.
  • Install drain traps in sinks and baths to catch hair and other debris.
  • Don’t flush anything other than toilet paper and waste down the toilet.
  • Regularly have your drains cleaned by a professional like Rapid Drains.
