Blocked Drain Gold Coast Enquiry
Common causes of drain clogs
Drains block up for many different reasons, our plumbing team never know what they’re going to find, however, there are a few common culprits which we see every day.
- Grease, fat, and oil - these get washed down the kitchen sink or through the dishwasher drain but as they cool a bit further along the pipe they become solid and stick to the drain. Over time substances can build up, eventually completely blocking the drain. Due to their sticky nature, they can also collect other debris speeding up the clogging process.
- Hair, soap scum, food scraps - the tiny bits that flow down the drain usually get washed along into the sewer without a problem, however, tiny imperfections or movement of pipes can cause these items to catch on the pipe.
- Wet wipes - many of these products are labelled ‘safe to flush’ or ‘flushable’ which is not the case. Toilet or bathroom wet wipes don’t break down in the sewer system and are becoming one of the leading causes of blocked toilets and drains for homeowners as well as councils.
- Drain collapse - older drains or those located in an area where heavy machinery is in use can become crushed and collapse stopping the flow of wastewater or storm water.
- Ground movement - Loose or sandy soil, just like much of the Gold Coast is built on, can allow pipes and drains to move which can cause joins to become loose or even completely disconnected.
- Tree roots - it only takes a tiny crack for thirsty tree roots to find their way into a drain. Once inside they grow quickly thanks to the abundant supply of water eventually blocking the drain completely.
