Causes of blocked drains
When drains get blocked they can cause serious problems.
From backing up and flooding houses to damaging possessions and being a potential safety risk, it’s essential to get them cleaned as soon as possible.
There are many reasons why drains get blocked, but there are several common causes that drain specialists see time after time.
For all your blocked drains Cambridge needs, get in touch with our team at R&MPS.
Excess water
Heavy rain or a storm can overwhelm a drain system, causing backups and overflows which can cause lots of damage.
Leaves
During the autumn when leaves and branches fall they can often gather in sunken places like drain covers.
As they break down they begin to clog openings and infiltrate deeper into the drains.
Grease and fat
Often poured away after cooking, grease and fat is not broken down easily and can congest pipes and cause blockages.
Over time this can build up to form enormous ‘fat bergs’ that can even block municipal sewers.
All of our work is guaranteed, so rest assured with R&MPS you are getting a professional, efficient and caring drain unblocking service.
