Blocked Drains Melbourne

• Food waste that accidentally gets washed down the sink
• Fat, oil, and grease
• Tissues that are disposed of down the toilet
• Hair and soap scum in the shower
• Leaves, dirt, and other natural debris can block outdoor drains

While something as fine as hair doesn’t quite strike you as a catalyst in a blocked drain, it’s the gradual build up, where objects are latching on to each other without passing properly through the drain, that can impede water flow and eventually lead to a blockage.

In other cases, a blockage might be the result of narrow pipelines. Many older drain lines are simply too narrow and can easily become blocked at the bends. 

If your drains are growing a bit long in the tooth, consider getting a drain filter to stop debris making its way into your drain.

Better yet, talk to your local plumber about getting newer, wider pipes!

The simple answer is YES – in fact, even those wipes marketed as “flushable” do not dissolve in water, leading to horror blockages in city pipelines.
