A blocked drain is a plumbing obstruction that can occur in any location where water flows freely, such as the kitchen sink, bathtub or shower. When this occurs, wastewater (water mixed with soap and other chemicals) accumulates until it reaches a point where it cannot flow through the drainage system anymore. This blockage may be caused by objects like hairballs or fat droplets that have accumulated over time; debris from broken dishes; roots from trees or shrubs growing into pipes; clogged up drains due to grease buildup; and large pieces of plastic that have become lodged in the pipe’s interior walls. If left untreated, these obstructions can lead to flooding within your home – especially if there are areas near the blocked drain(s) which receive ample amounts of rainfall (such as bathrooms). To prevent this from happening, you should call an experienced professional like those at Clearing Blocked Drains Axbridge , who will work diligently to unblock your drains using state-of-the-art technology and techniques.
