A problem that we may come across regularly in our day-to-day lives is that of drain and toilet blockage. This problem other than being an inconvenience may cause serious problems not only in the functionality of your home but also health problems.

Objects like soap and jewelry can get stuck in the drains. Having small children in the house almost always means and errant toy accidently -or not so much- flushed down the toilet or dropped in the sink. These objects lead to the problem of blocked drains Sydney or in the situation of flushing blocked toilet Sydney. Plants and trees. Sometimes, the factors responsible for blocked drains Sydney are trees and leaves. Roots are known to always be in search of moisture or water sources to keep trees alive. A source of moisture underground are your pipes making the tree roots head for them which may cause cracking or other damages to your pipes. Other than the roots, tree leaves may also create a problem especially in Autumn when trees drop their leaves. These leaves can form a mass big enough to cause your drains to become blocked.

If this is not seen to regularly it can lead to blocked drains Sydney which could eventually completely stop water from flowing altogether. Grease/Fat Blocked grease It is important to moderate greasy and fatty substances that are allowed to enter drains, as they could become problematic. This is particularly more so in the kitchen where oily or fatty substances form an integral part of most cooking done and substance remnants can be easily washed down the sink. The problem here is that grease and fat do not exit the pipes quite the contrary they stick to the inside of the pipes and end up causing blocked drains when significant build-up results. The larger problem here is that other than having to simply deal with blocked drains Sydney, built up fat and grease may lead to the creation of septic tanks. Toiletries Also, among the possible causes of blocked drains are toiletries. Because people flush toilet paper, they believe that other toiletries are also flushable causing a blocked toilet Sydney. It is not a new phenomenon to see people flushing nappies and baby wipes down the toilet. The problem with this is that nappies become swollen when immersed in water as a result of absorption. This should give you an idea of what happens when they are allowed to enter the drains. Also, baby wipes are not like toilet rolls that can easily disintegrate when immersed in water and as such can get stuck in the pipes thereby resulting in a blocked toilet Sydney.
