Common Causes for a Blockage

First things first, what are some of the most common causes behind blocked drains?

  • Invasive Tree Roots: Tree roots naturally seek out moisture, often infiltrating drain pipes and causing significant blockages
  • Foreign Objects: Items like wet wipes, sanitary products or excessive toilet paper can cause clogs in toilets and drains
  • Grease & Fat Build-Up: Pouring cooking grease and fat down the sink can lead to a hardened build-up inside pipes, restricting water flow
  • Natural Debris: Leaves, dirt and other debris can accumulate in outdoor drains, especially during autumn and winter
  • Structural Issues: Cracks, collapsed pipes and displaced joints can trap debris and exacerbate blockages

If you are dealing with slow drains or a persistent drain blockage in your home or business premises, Smart Drainz has the skill and equipment to identify and resolve the problem quickly and affordably.

Types of Blockage

Blocked drains come in many forms, and each requires a tailored approach. Here are the most common types:

  • Blocked Waste Pipes: Often caused by grease, soap scum and food debris, these blockages occur in kitchen or bathroom sinks
  • External Blocked Drains: Outside drains may become clogged with mud, leaves or other debris
  • Overflowing Gullies & Manholes: Overflowing drain gullies can lead to pooling water and potential flooding
  • Blocked Showers & Baths: Hair, soap residue and limescale are the usual culprits for slow drains which lead to blockages in bathrooms
  • Blocked Toilets: Flushable wipes, sanitary products and excessive paper can block toilets, often leading to unpleasant backflow issues

If you suspect any of these issues, our professional drain unblocking services are available 24/7 in the South of England, no matter your location.

How We Unblock Your Drains

At Smart Drainz, we use advanced methods to clear even the most stubborn blockages. As an experienced drainage contractor, our approach is both thorough and minimally invasive.

  • Jetting – High-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective methods for tackling blocked drains. This technique involves using a powerful stream of water to break up blockages and flush away debris, leaving your pipes clear and functional.
  • Rodding – Drain rods are flexible, extendable tools used to manually remove blockages. This method is particularly effective for clearing physical obstructions like tree roots or built-up debris.
  • Camera Inspections – To ensure we address the root cause of your drain blockage, we use state-of-the-art CCTV cameras. These allow us to inspect the inside of your pipes, identify the issue and determine the best course of action.

By employing these techniques, we ensure that slow drains are resolved quickly and efficiently, restoring your system to optimal performance.
