Why Do Drains Block in Exeter? Common Causes and Prevention

Understanding why drains block can help prevent future emergencies. In Exeter, as elsewhere, common culprits include:

  • Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): Poured down kitchen sinks, these congeal and cling to pipe walls, slowly building up until a complete blockage occurs.
  • Foreign Objects: Wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, and even children's toys frequently cause blocked toilets and internal pipe issues.
  • Hair and Soap Scum: These combine to form stubborn clogs in showers and baths.
  • External Debris: Leaves, silt, dirt, and even tree roots can infiltrate and block external gullies and underground drainage systems.

Our CCTV drain inspection, included in our domestic service, is an excellent preventative measure, identifying these issues before they escalate into costly emergency drain repairs.

The free camera check afterwards was a great bonus. Highly recommended."

"Our kitchen sink has been slow-draining for months. After trying every chemical from the supermarket, we finally called the experts. They cleared a massive grease blockage and then used a camera to show us the pipe was clear. Professional, tidy, and very knowledgeable. A fantastic, reliable local service."
