                     Little Known 
Things That Could 
Be Blocking Your 
Drains
Introduction: 
1. Drain clogs can be anything from a little annoyance to a serious catastrophe. Of course, 
neither of these things are desirable, particularly during the holiday season. A clogged 
drain is an issue that affects every household at some point. You may have been in the 
shower when the water level gradually formed a puddle or suddenly rose, submerging 
your feet. You might be astonished to discover that the sink is already half-filled with water 
when brushing your teeth. However, the worst conceivable drain obstruction that can 
occur in a business is if your toilet doesn't flush properly after multiple efforts. This is not 
only unsanitary, but also disgusting and could result in embarrassment. A blockage in the 
space between your bathroom drain and the drainage pipes it leads to causes 
Blocked drains in Cranebrook. Trapped solid materials, such as hair, dust, and 
particles, are the most common causes. When household goods like shampoos, 
conditioners, soaps, and detergents build up, the obstruction gets worse. This will 
gradually become denser, obstructing the smooth passage of water through your drain 
line.
Here are the top things that can 
cause blocked drains

Fat, oil and 
Hair Food Scraps

Fat, oil and 
grease
Even though these three substances 
appear harmless when in liquid 
form. They cool and solidify when 
they come into contact with 
something cold, like your pipes. In 
time, the hardened mass continues 
to pile up, leading to a 
blockage.Rather than pouring oil 
down the drain, consider blotting it 
with a paper towel and throwing it 
away.
Baby Wipes can cause drain blockages
Baby wipes are disposable and can be used to 
clean up items that would otherwise be 
flushed down the toilet, however they clog 
drains. They stay together readily. So even if 
you only flush one at a time, they'll soon be 
stuck not only to each other, but also to 
everything else in the drain. Baby wipes can 
quickly clog your drain. Invest in a lidded bin 
for disposing of baby wipes, and do your 
drains a favor.
Hair can clog 
your drains
Because clogging can commonly 
occur near the plug hole of 
your shower or bath. We're 
pretty confident you already 
know about this one.We are 
unaware of how much hair gets 
washed away from our bodies 
and flushed down the drain 
during bathing or showering, 
but it piles up quickly. When 
soap and other materials are 
flushed down the drain, they 
can quickly combine to form a 
gooey, hairy lump, which can 
cause a Blocked Drain in 
Cranebrook.
Food Scraps can cause blocked drains
We're not accusing you of tossing all of your food 
scraps down the drain; that would be absurd. 
However, it doesn't take much to clog a drain, and 
a single piece of pasta might cause more damage 
than you might imagine. A lot of our foods, 
especially carbs like pasta and rice, are fairly 
permeable. They absorb a lot of water and can 
quickly expand to clog drainage pipes.
Expensive Toilet Paper can block 
drains
Yes, the pictures of fluffy animals on it, as well as the 
thick 4-ply sheets, make it appear cute and 
wonderful. However, this means you'll wind up 
flushing twice as much paper as you really need. 
It may appear that using multi-ply toilet paper is 
a good idea. People rarely alter the quantity they 
draw from the roll to account for the thicker toilet 
paper. They end up dumping twice as much down 
the drain, which can be disastrous for your pipes.
You could be abusing your plumbing 
system without realising it since your 
drain is encountering materials you 
shouldn't be putting down there. This 
then leads to a blocked and clogged 
drain that can be easily avoided. 
Understanding the exact issues that are 
causing a Blocked Drain in 
Cranebrook can be difficult due to your 
drains connecting to each sink, toilet 
and even washing machine.
