People commonly flush items down the toilets that should not be flushed. From common issues such as baby wipes to other non-biodegradable items, this will cause the toilet to block as not all items will be flushed down properly and travel down your pipes smoothly.

You should only flush items down your toilet that are completely biodegradable, ensuring your drains are not blocked because of your toilet. This can also be one of the most difficult blockages to dispose of. You should always seek a professional if you think your toilet has caused blockages to your drains and pipes. Not only does unblocking need to be completed safely, but it can also become a very unpleasant environment due to the other items that will come out during unblocking!

Blockages do not only occur from problems caused inside your property. Sometimes the faults can be completely out of your hands as plants, dirt, leaves and other items can cause blockages. If you notice that outside your property, dirt or fallen debris has caused your drains to block, sometimes you will be able to remove this from your drain.

However, if the blockage is quite severe, specialist equipment should be used to remove the items, rather than pushing them further in and making the blockage even worse. Try to avoid this problem occurring by having regular maintenance and ensuring that any debris, plants, leaves or dirt around your property exterior is kept well out of the way of your drainage system and pipes.

Other than human waste and toilet paper, nothing else should really be going down your toilet. Items such as baby wipes must be disposed of in a bin and this, along with many other items, will only cause blockages to your toilet and home.

By being careful what you flush, you can avoid many of the problems that would be caused by blockages to your toilet and prevent drains becoming blocked.

Debris can easily go into your plug holes and although this seems like a minor issue that will cause no damage, it could come back to haunt you. If different items and debris or food is constantly going down your drain, it could build up in your drainage system, blocking the drainage of liquids. Only liquids should be going down your drains.

By making sure all your drains such as showers and sinks have plugs in them, this can stop a lot of debris from entering your drainage system. Although some problems are unavoidable and blockages could still occur due to debris, a filtered plug could prevent a lot of items from entering your drains.

Using experts for drain clearance and drain unblocking should mean the problem does not return. Drain specialists should know what the actual problem is with your drain, advising you on how to prevent the problem happening again.

In addition to this, the drain should be cleared and cleaned properly, completely removing the current issue. If you try to unblock drains yourself, it may mean you don’t know what caused the problem in the first place and the drain is not cleared as much as it should be, so blockages could occur in the near future.

Drain specialists now use CCTV surveys and other methods to help run diagnosis of the drain and find out what debris and materials are actually causing the blockage. With this information, drain clearance can be completed much quicker and therefore at a cheaper price for you. Again, this ensures the drains are cleared correctly and should not become blocked frequently.

CCTV drain surveys can be used for a range of purposes due to their flexibility and effectiveness. This means you can use them in several different situations to gather data safely, without completing potentially hazardous confined space entries. CCTV drain surveys can be used as part of preventative maintenance programmes, meaning there are several times they are actually suitable to be used.

This means if clearance or repairs are needed in the future, you are not left in the dark and you have a full report based on your drain surveys well in advance.

Drain surveys should also be used when blockages have occurred or you think the drainage system has been damaged. Completing a survey will be the most cost-effective and quickest way of identifying the problem with your drains, before resolving the issue that is present.
