Common Causes of Blocked Drains in the Totnes Area

Blockages in Totnes, like anywhere else, stem from various factors, many of which are preventable. Inside your property, the most frequent culprits include: * Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) poured down kitchen sinks, which solidify and cling to pipe walls. * Non-flushable items like wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, and excessive toilet paper. * Hair and soap scum accumulating in shower and bath drains. Outside, common causes often involve: * Leaves, silt, and general debris washing into gullies and manholes. * Tree roots seeking moisture and growing into hairline cracks in pipes. * Structural damage to pipes due to ground movement or age. Our expert team doesn't just clear the blockage; we can also help you understand the cause through our CCTV drain surveys, offering advice on how to prevent future occurrences and maintain healthy drainage systems for your Totnes property.
