What are 6 of the main causes of blocked drains?
Answer...
1. Foreign Objects Flushed Down the Toilet
One of the most common causes of blocked drains is flushing a foreign object down the toilet. This can be anything from child wipes and sanitary pads, to tissues and even a child's toy!
2. Leaves and Other Outdoor Debris
You might be surprised to learn that blocked drains are often caused by leaves and debris being blown or washed into your drains and causing blockages. This is why it is important to maintain the area surrounding your drains to be as clear as possible.
3. Grease and Fat from Cooking
Grease and fat washed down the sink after cooking often causes your kitchen sink to clog and can do a lot of damage to your sewage system if left untreated.
4. Hair in the Bathroom
Your bathroom sinks, baths, and showers are often subjected clogs of hair during washing. It is likely to come as little surprise that hair getting into your pipes is one of the major causes blocked pipes.
5. Tree Roots
Tree roots can find their way into even the smallest cracks or holes in your sewage system which can cause big plumbing issues over time. The best way to avoid this is by having regular CCTV checks to make sure your drains are clear from any tree roots.
6. Food Remnants and Waste
Food waste going the sink when you are rinsing or washing dishes is another main culprit in blocking your drains. Scrape your plates clear of any excess food first before putting them in the sink.
How do I use vinegar and baking soda to clear my drain?
Answer...
Pour a pot of boiling hot water down your drain. Add a cup of baking soda down the drain, then add a cup of white vinegar. The alkaline soda and acid vinegar will cause a mild chemical reaction producing bubbles and foam to loosen pipe grunge. Cover with a drain plug if you have one to keep the reaction down below the drain surface. While that is working, heat another large pan of water to boiling and then pour that down the drain. You should have a cleaner, clearer drain. Repeat if necessary.
Doing this once a month can help with the maintenance of your drains.
Pipe relining is a significant investment in your home and so it is only reasonable you should be researching the benefits it can give you and obtaining at least three quotes on the options available to you.
If you live in an older style home with an aged piping in an area surrounded by trees, reality is at some point you are going to experience blocked drain problems. As pipes that were installed over 30 years ago, they often become cracked and develop holes. This is a very fertile breeding ground for tree roots to branch out into your pipes and begin to take over.
Over time, they can cause significant blockages and damage to your pipes.
It is recommended if you live in a suburb with an older home you get your drains checked by CCTV camera. This process can quickly detect if you have an issue and it is always best to get it fixed before it causes any further damage.
The good news with changes in technology is excavation and replacement of existing pipes is normally the last resort rather than the preferred solution. Most skilled plumbers these days are able to carry out pipe relining to fix your drains, which is the process of creating a new pipe within your existing pipe.
This will seal out any holes or cracks and prevent future tree root penetration if done correctly.
Recently in Sydney, a new method of pipe relining referred to as UV pipe relining is being offered, a process which is very common in Europe. This has a number of benefits over existing pipe relining methods including:
Ultimately this method is faster, allows for better quality repairs and in the long run should be a cheaper solution.
The entire process is computer monitored to make sure curing is consistently being carried out through the length of pipe being repaired.
UV pipe relining also has very little impact on the environment compared to traditional pipe relining methods as it uses no water, does not produce any gas and gives off fewer emissions.
Given this process is new and requires investment in the equipment required to carry it out, there are not many plumbers in Sydney with the skill or capability to carry out UV pipe relining. This is why it is important to get expert UV pipe relining advice. When you are obtaining quotes, make sure you consider this as an option. You may be very surprised to how it compares with the cost of traditional methods.
