Realising you might have a blocked drain is something no Hampton homeowner wants to face. Drains can become blocked in various ways—from hair accumulation in shower drains to the improper disposal of items like tissues, toilet paper, and sanitary products down the toilet. Additionally, food residue, particularly oil, and soap scum can gradually cause blockages in Hampton homes. Another frequent issue is the infiltration of tree roots into drain pipes.

Signs that you have a blocked drain include noticeable delays in water draining down sinks, baths, or showers. Another sign is the occurrence of unusual gurgling sounds. If you detect unpleasant odours, particularly emanating from a toilet, it strongly suggests a blockage.
In addition, it’s recommended that you do routine inspections to look for water puddles around your Hampton home, particularly on dry days. This serves as yet another red flag for a potential blocked drain. Additionally, vigilance is key when it comes to identifying any cracks in concrete walls or floors, as these can also signal the presence of a blocked drain—a situation that, if left unresolved, could lead to structural damage to your Hampton home.
