Blocked Showers And What Causes Them
Blocked showers can be a major inconvenience causing water to pool up around your feet. It can also lead you shower leaking as the shower waste pipe is not designed to hold sitting water.
Hair and soap buildup: over time hair can build up in your shower drain and create a blockage within your drainage pipe work. This is especially common with people with long hair or if multiple people within your house are using the same shower. To prevent hair buildup use a drain cover to catch the hair before it enters the drain and clean the cover regularly to prevent any unnecessary hair from going down the drain.
Tree roots: tree roots can grow into your pipes and cause a blockage which causes an obstruction. This will happen more often if you have older pipes or there’s tree roots in close proximity to your home. To prevent tree roots from causing a blockage make sure to have your pipes inspected regularly and consider removing any trees that are too close to your pipes.
In severe cases you may need to have your pipes removed and replaced to prevent further damage occurring.
Broken pipe work: Broken drainage pipes are one of the more severe year causes of kitchen blockages as the pipes have shifted causing a break within your drainage line depending on how your drainage line has been laid out.
