/ Drainage, Blocked Drains and Flooding

If you use too much paper, wet wipes or other sanitary products down your toilet, this can lead to a blockage. Other common causes include:

• Damage to the drains
• Defective joints
• Weak flush

Plumberoo can help diagnose the root cause by using cameras to inspect your drains. We can then offer an appropriate remedy.

The best recommendations to avoid this are:

• Use a strainer over the plug hole to catch large debris
• Don’t pour fat and grease down the drain
• Consider letting excess fat solidify and throwing it in the bin instead
• Use foil and greaseproof paper to collect and throw oil away during cooking

The most immediate advice is to stop adding to the blockage. Ideally, limit the use of water and avoid flushing your toilet until the drainage issue has been resolved. If you’re facing a flooding emergency, call a plumber.
