Water Takes Longer to Drain

If you notice water building up quickly and taking much longer to drain when using taps or showers, it could indicate a blocked drain. In severe cases, standing water may linger in sinks, baths, or shower trays, becoming stagnant and unpleasant.


Strange Sounds from Pipes

Gurgling or rattling sounds emanating from drains, plug holes, toilet flushes, or pipes are common signs of a blocked drain. These noises occur when trapped air is displaced and pushed up through the pipes by the blockage.


Unpleasant Odour

The presence of an unpleasant odour, resembling sewage or rotten eggs, in your kitchen or bathroom may indicate a blocked drain. This smell can be caused by bacterial build-up, stagnant water, and the decomposition of the blockage material. Foul smells can arise even before other signs of a blocked drain, so it's essential not to ignore any new or unusual odours in your home.


Consult Drain Unblocking Specialists

Leaving a blocked drain untreated can lead to overflow and flood damage in your home. To avoid costly repairs in the future, it's advisable to contact a drain specialist promptly to address the issue.
