Common
Items We Remove
Common items found in residential and commercial plumbing systems can include:
- Hair: Accumulation of hair in bathroom drains is a frequent cause of blockages, particularly in showers and sinks.
- Food Waste: Kitchen drains often get clogged due to the disposal of food scraps, grease and cooking oils down the sink.
- Soap Scum: Soap residue can build up over time, combining with other debris to form blockages in bathroom drains.
- Toilet Paper: Excessive use or flushing of large amounts of toilet paper can lead to blockages in toilets and sewer lines.
- Baby Wipes & Hygiene Products: Non-flushable items like baby wipes, cotton swabs and feminine hygiene products can cause significant blockages in toilets and sewer systems.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots seeking moisture and nutrients can infiltrate and obstruct underground sewer lines, causing blockages and damage.
- Mineral Build-Up: Hard water can cause mineral deposits to accumulate inside pipes, restricting water flow and leading to blockages.
- Foreign Objects: Small objects accidentally flushed down toilets or washed down sinks, such as toys, jewellery or sanitary products, can cause blockages.
