It takes a lot to shock our crew at Flow Sure Drains. We have unclogged almost every
drain clog imaginable in Bristol, UK. And we know what kinds of crazy things can lead to a
backed up drain nightmare. But did you know that not all clogged drains are caused by lumps of
toilet tissue or masses of hair?
Let’s take a look at some of the craziest things that have been known to wreak havoc on
drains all across the United Kingdom.
- Clothing.
Clothing being flushed down the drain is one surefire way to make everything back up in
an instant. You might be thinking, ‘who on earth would ever flush clothing?!’ Well, truthfully, both
children and adults alike have been caught in this act. From socks to swim shirts, clothing
sometimes finds its way being pushed down toilet drains and needing to be removed by
professionals like us.
- Toys.
Children have a way of making happy little messes in the most interesting of ways. One
way that kids can cause damage to your drains is by tossing their favorite toys or game pieces
into the toilet. These toys can easily become lodged in the drain, and lead to rapid buildup of
debris. This leads to a blockage faster than you can even imagine. Not only that, but often the
removal of said toy can be a headache in and of itself!
- Tech Gadgets.
Everyday life is filled with mobile phones, wireless headphones, bluetooth devices, and
smart watches. These items have a tendency to fall off at the worst possible times--and these
times can indeed be while around drainage. Whether it be down the sink or down the toilet,
mobile devices and gadgets can easily find their way down the drains. These bulky objects, just
like toys, can lead to rapid blockages and damages aside from the loss of the gadget itself!
- Animals & Pests.
Whether it be the family goldfish being flushed down the drain, or frogs and even otters
making their way into the sewage system, pests can easily block drains. Not only can they, but
they often do. It may seem sad, but it’s not unheard of for small little critters to work their way
into the sewage system and create blockages with their bodies that are difficult to find and
remove. Pests are one of the leading odd causes of blockages in sewage drainage across the
United Kingdom.
