How to Avoid Blocked Drains


Now that you've had your blocked drain cleared or replaced there are some important things you must know to help minimise the likelihood of it blocking up again. Below are a few recommendations to maintaining your drains:

   For anyone who is having renovations done on your own property ensure they cover all exposed pipes so no debris falls down the pipes causing a blocked drain.
   Keep  Drain Unblocking Bradford  and sinks free from hair - put it in the bin
   Don't flush sanitary items, nappies or baby wipes down a drain
   Use sink strainers in your kitchen
   No fats, oils or food scraps should be washed down the drain
   Be cautious of clip on toilet fresheners that may fall off and become flushed down the bathroom .
   And yes while children find it interesting to view a toy disappear down a 'waterfall' of water, objects being flushed down the toilet can also cause blocked drains.

Do you realize 75% of sewage overflows are a consequence of tree roots blocking drains? With tree roots growing about one . 5 times the length of the adult plants branches you can reduce the prospect of blocked drains by planting trees as far away from your own sewer lines as you possibly can.
