Blocked Drains Are a Common Issue We See in Newcastle Homes
Blocked drains are something we deal with regularly at Leak Hunters. They rarely happen overnight. In most cases, blockages build up slowly until water can no longer flow through the pipe properly.
What Causes Most Blocked Drains
From our experience, the cause depends on the type of drain:
- Bathroom drains often block due to hair and soap buildup
- Kitchen drains commonly clog from grease and food waste
- Outdoor drains are frequently affected by tree roots
- Foreign objects can accidentally enter the plumbing system
Over time, these materials restrict the pipe and eventually lead to a complete blockage.
Early Warning Signs to Watch For
Blocked drains usually give warning signs before becoming serious, including:
- Water draining slower than usual
- Gurgling sounds coming from pipes
- Unpleasant smells from drains
- Water backing up in sinks or showers
Acting early can prevent overflows and potential pipe damage.
Why DIY Fixes Don’t Always Work
We often attend jobs where plungers or store bought drain cleaners have already been tried. While they may provide short term relief, they often leave part of the blockage behind or push it further down the pipe.
If you’re dealing with slow drains or repeat blockages in your Newcastle home, call our professional team at Leak Hunters today. We’ll clear the blockage properly and help prevent it from coming back.
