TIPS TO AVOID BLOCKED DRAINS

  • Pull hairs out of the bathroom plug holes on a regular basis.

  • Clean your toilet and sink drains regularly to avoid any build-ups that lead to drain blockages.

  • Only toilet paper should be flushed down the loo, nappies, face wipes, cotton of any kind, and sanitary towels should never be flushed down the toilet.

  • Don’t pour oil, grease or leftover food down the kitchen sink, this is a sure fire way to cause a drain blockage.

  • Scrape excess waste off of plates before putting them into the dishwasher, larger scraps of food can lead to a drain blockage over time.
