Have you just got home from work and noticed that the water just isn’t going down fast enough in the kitchen sink? You’re not 100% sure if it’s blocked or not, because the water is, after all, still draining away.

So, you leave it alone and take a shower. When you come back, you try to clean the sink out yourself with a bottle brush, but it doesn’t get any better. What is going on?

What you may not know is that your sewer drain takes all of your household waste. This means that every time you flush the toilet, take a shower, use the bathroom basin, kitchen sink and wash clothes, all of this water and waste heads down your sewer drain.

If something is stuck in your sewer drain, then you could see some of these symptoms:

  1. Slow draining in sinks or shower
  2. Gurgling noises when you flush the toilet!
  3. Toilet water rises when you flush

If you haven’t already realised, you need to get this type of issue sorted asap! Not only can it cause a huge mess, but it can become a possible health hazard to you and your and family.

What causes a drain to block?

In our experience, most drains that become blocked are caused by tree roots. You might think it’s more likely to be gunk in the drain from hair build up and dirt, but 90% of our call outs result in dealing with tree roots.
