Dealing with Blocked Drains | Causes and Solutions
Cleaning blocked drains or clogged sewage pipes is one of the most frustrating household chores. If you’ve ever had to deal with it manually, you know how messy and unpleasant it can get. Fossa brings you the top 5 reasons why your drains might be clogging so often, along with smart solutions to keep them flowing freely.
Why Do Sewage Pipes Get Clogged?
Blocked drains are a common nightmare for homeowners. Some of the major causes include:
-
Hair Accumulation: Hair tangles with soap scum and forms stubborn blockages.
-
Soap Scum Buildup: Residue clings to pipe walls, narrowing water flow over time.
-
Hard Water Deposits: Minerals settle inside pipes and harden, creating stubborn deposits.
-
Small Objects: Items like tissues, wrappers, or towel threads often slip in and block drains.
-
Toothpaste and Cosmetics: Thick products solidify when not washed down properly, adding to the buildup.
