Common blockage materialsToilets and toilet pipes get blocked when people put the wrong things down the toilet.Some of the things which should never be put down the toilet are foodscraps, paper, rags, cans, bottles, grease and fat. Wastewater pipes from sinks, basins and laundry tubs can get blocked if people put food waste, especially tea leaves, hot fat and other rubbish down them. If hot fat is poured down an outlet pipe, it will set in the pipe when it cools and cause a blockage. In addition to blockages caused by these materials, main sewer pipes can get blocked in other ways, for example, tree roots growing into the pipe joints and soil blocking the pipe when it is broken by vehicle traffic. UnblockingFor the plumbing system to work, the pipes must be free of blockages.If the pipes are blocked, the toilet, shower, laundry tubs and/or the kitchen sink will not carry the wastewater away properly. To unblock a sink, shower recess or any tubs, first remove any larger pieces of rubbish and then try using a plunger. If it does not work call su and we can unblock it for you. |
