Common causes of a blocked drain

Over the years we've seen many different causes for blocked drains; even kids toys flushed down the toilet. But generally blocked drains fall into the following categories:

• Tree roots
• Fat, Oil or Grease (commonly referred to as FOG)
• Solid (or semi-solid) waste material getting caught on a rough pipe lining

How to clear a clogged drain

As with the causes of blocked drains, there are also several main methods used to unclog a drain (we're not including some of the crazy internet methods; Coke or Pepsi anyone?). The main methods are:

• Using a chemical such as Draino
• Using a Plumbers' Eel
• Using a Water Jetter

These methods all have their advantages and disadvantages.

How to repair

This is not to be confused with clearing a blocked drain. You see, the blockage itself is generally just the symptom of an underlying problem. If you don't fix the problem you can expect the blockage to come back at some stage in the future. The best example of this is with tree roots. Tree roots can only get into a pipe if there is a crack or similar in the pipe. So if we clear away the roots but not fix the crack, we can expect the roots to grow back.

The 2 main ways of repairing a damaged pipe are:

• Digging up the drain and replacing the damaged pipe
• Relining the damaged section of pipe - doesn't involve digging up the pipe
