Why blocked drains occur...
Firstly blocked drains occur by the items that are flushed through its systems ie cosmetic wipes, sanitary products, grease, fat, oil and hair. This items do not easily break-up within the flow of water in the drainage system, resulting in a build-up of these are therefore blocking your drains. Therefore depositing the cosmetic and sanitary products in your waste trash would dispose of these and not cause you problems with your drainage. Also applying a drain cover to your plug holes will catch and stop these materials from entering your drainage system. Nevertheless just being cautious with what you put down your system and taking care of how you dispose these items.
Boiling Hot Water
Pouring boiling hot water from you kettle down your kitchen sink once a week can prevent the oils, grease and fat from building up in your drainage waste system. Therefore this re-liquidises the oils that are collecting in the drainage pipe and allow it to flow out of your waste pipes and into the main drainage system.
Covering your drains
Covering your drains with grills and sieves will prevent any material from entering your drainage system and will only allow the water waste to enter and dispose. As a result there will then be no reason why there should be any blockage within you drain pipes. Apply gully grills to your external gullies which stop leaves/debris from entering and causing a blockage.
