How to Spot a Blocked Drain
1) Smell - One of the earliest telltale signs of drain blockages; if you notice a foul odour near your toilet, sinks or drains, call us for a thorough assessment.
2) Slow Drainage - slow drainage within a sink can be a sure sign that a partial blockage or build up is occurring, don't wait until it completely blocks.
3) Blocked Toilet - If the water levels in your toilet rises higher than normal, this could be a symptom of a blockage. After a prolonged period, if the water level still refuses to drop, or the water level rises high enough to cause it to overflow, call Brian James Drainage Services immediately.
4)Noises - If gurgling sounds are heard from your drains, this could be caused air which is trapped within the drain
Take Extra Care of Your Drains
Blockages are usually caused by debris that is built up in the drains, but it can also be caused by household items such as toothbrushes, cutlery, money, jewellery, toys and other surprising objects, always be careful with what you flush down that toilet as these things can cause trouble in the future. Fat, oil, and grease (collectively known as FOG) should never be be poured down the drain remembering to keep things such as wipes, sanitary pads and nappies away from your drainage system.
