The Most Common Reasons for A Blocked Sewer/Drain

by Kevin Bancroft Author

Clogged drains are by far the nastiest situation that anyone could face. It is not only a huge inconvenience but extremely disgusting to even think about or handle. They are filled with a swarming lot of bacteria growth and unbearable stench that remains a huge problem for one and all. If you reside in the Coomera waters area and find an issue with drain clogs, then you may want to contact plumbers in Coomera water



Here are some common reasons for a blocked drain/sewer: 

  • Hair 

A build-up of hair in the drain can clog up the drain as well as the sewer. It is fairly easy to remove the hair; however, if not cleared up properly or immediately - it causes plenty of issues down the drain. It is common that hair falls off one's body while showering or getting ready in front of the sink. It is one of the biggest problems when it comes to clogged drains. You can also try to remove hair from the drains immediately after using a drain spider or gloves. 

  • Plants & Dirt

Another reason for the clog in the drain occurs as a result of natural debris from trees, plants, shrubs and leaves, especially during the spring and autumn seasons. If you do regular garden maintenance of the outdoor area, it is good to look out for water drains and pipes. Sometimes roots do also are known to be notorious for growing underneath and do tend to head straight to your drains and sewers, causing a blockage. It is always best to keep the outdoor areas cleared off of fallen leaves and natural debris. 

  • Grease Build-Up 

Another major reason for clogged drains at home and in the kitchen especially results from the build of grease waste in the system. Just like hair in the bathroom, grease and fat build-up occurs in the kitchen drains. It is extremely important that one doesn't wash down vessels with fat or grease and instead dump it in the wastebasket before cleaning up the dish. Or, you could use a tissue to clean up the surface of the pans and pots. 

  • Toiletries

More and more people are getting into the habit of disposing of toiletries down the drain. More and more problems have also begun arising as a result of this habit. It's important that one does not dispose of nappies, sanitary napkins, or baby wipes down the toilet. They clog up the entire drain. They do also tend to absorb all moisture and enlarge as they travel down the drain, making it harder for water to pass through. This can be very inconvenient for you and your family. 


These four reasons are personally the most important reasons wherein drains can easily get clogged. If you do, however, find an issue with drainage and clog in the sewer, ensure to give plumbers in Coomera waters a call. If you do not reside near this area, you can always look up a local plumber near me on google and find the right plumber to help with blocked sewers.
