What causes drainage problems?

If you have a blocked sewage drain or a blocked drain outside whatever the drainage problems, it is essential to find the root cause of the blockage. Silt and debris may build up over time in the drain pipe, causing the flow to back up. If you add the lovely UK rain we have been having, this will increase the risk of surface water, causing flooding. Most commonly a drain blockage is caused by FOG (fat, oil and grease) The FOG congeals in the pipes. If you flush nappies, wipes or sanitary products these can get caught on the congealed FOG, when this happens, it may cause the flow to back up.

How to prevent blocked pipes:

To keep the pipes clear and free flowing, follow Metro Rod Coventry & Leicester tips.
