Domestic Blocked Drains Unblocking Services
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Blocked drains are a common problem that many homeowners face, and we know just how frustrating they can be. Whether it's a slow-draining sink or a completely blocked toilet, these issues can seriously disrupt your daily routine. Blockages can happen for various reasons, but they are often caused by everyday things like debris, fats, oils, and even hair. Cooking grease washed down the kitchen sink or wipes flushed down the toilet can quickly build up, causing a blockage. Over time, these materials stick to the inside of your pipes, gradually narrowing them until the water simply can't get through anymore.

WHAT CAUSES
BLOCKED DRAINS
Blocked drains can disrupt your daily life, causing unpleasant smells, slow drainage, and even property damage. Here’s a breakdown of the most common causes of blocked drains and how to prevent them.
Hair
Hair is one of the most common culprits of blocked bathroom drains. It combines with soap residue to form clogs that restrict water flow.
Prevention Tips:
Use a drain cover or hair catcher in sinks and showers.
Regularly clean the catcher to remove trapped hair.
​Grease and Fat
Grease, fat, and oil poured down kitchen sinks harden as they cool, creating blockages that restrict water flow.
Prevention Tips:
Never pour grease or oil down the sink.
Wipe greasy pans with paper towels before washing.
Dispose of cooking oils in sealed containers.
Foreign Objects
Items like wet wipes, nappies, and sanitary products often block pipes, especially in toilets, as they don’t break down like toilet paper.
Prevention Tips:
Only flush toilet paper and human waste.
Dispose of wipes and other items in the bin.
​
​
Food Objects
Food particles, especially starchy items like rice and pasta, expand when wet and can block kitchen sinks.
Prevention Tips:
Use a sink strainer to catch food debris.
Scrape plates into the bin before rinsing.
​
Soap Scum
Soap residue combines with minerals in water to form hard deposits that narrow pipes and cause clogs.
Prevention Tips:
Use soap-free or low-residue cleaning products.
Flush drains with hot water and vinegar regularly.
​
Tree Rots
Tree roots can infiltrate underground pipes through small cracks, growing over time and causing serious blockages.
Prevention Tips:
Inspect outdoor drains for damage.
Use root barriers when planting trees near pipes.
Contact professionals to address root infiltration.
​
When To Call The Professionals
While some blockages can be cleared with a plunger, severe clogs require expert help. At Arch Services, we specialise in clearing blocked drains using advanced tools like high-pressure jetting and CCTV surveys.
