A Blocked sink or Basin is usually caused by grease, Food waste, hair or soap suds. General cleaning sometimes is not enough and a professional maintenance clean is needed.

Grease residue that builds up in Drain lines creates what’s known as Fatbergs.

Blockages in a Sink due to F.O.G’s have to be broken up and removed, as the congealed solids stick to the inside of the pipe. They can not be cleared properly using manual methods such as plunging as this usually pushes the problem downstream and causes a further Blockage elsewhere. 

Drain gullies are traps designed to stop foul smells and hold local debris to be cleaned out and maintained. They can be foul Drains or surface water Drains.

Domestic gullies are usually found on kitchen and bathroom waste outlet pipes but can also be below downpipes. Usual blockage types include solid grease, fallen debris.

Blockages in waste soil stack pipes are usually due to scale build up in the resting bend at the base of the stack itself  or at joints of other connecting waste pipes.

Foreign objects that have been flushed and snagged in the pipework or faults in the stack due to material wear and tear are also very common. Ie- Corroded cast iron or a broken clay joint connection to the Drain line below.

Wastepipes are usually found in 1″1/4, 1″1/2, and 2″ sizes. From both kitchen and bathroom appliances/suites.
