Drainage Blockage

Drainage Blockage:

Drainage blockage refers to the obstruction of water flow in pipes or drains, causing slow drainage or complete blockage, often due to debris, grease, or foreign objects.

Key Points:
Identification: The blockage is diagnosed by identifying slow drainage or complete water backup in sinks, showers, or toilets.

Clearing the Blockage: The blockage is cleared using tools like plungers, drain snakes, or a high-pressure water jet. In some cases, a professional might use chemical or enzymatic cleaners.

Inspection: Pipes and drains are inspected for damage or signs of deeper issues that may require further repair or pipe replacement.

Prevention: Regular maintenance is suggested to prevent future blockages, including cleaning drains and avoiding flushing unsuitable items.

Testing: After clearing, the drainage system is tested to ensure water flows smoothly and the blockage is fully removed.
