Finding out that you have a blocked drain in your Parkdale home is a surprisingly common problem. Several factors contribute to this issue – including hair build-up in shower drains and the improper disposal of items like tissues and sanitary products down the toilet. Food residue, especially oil, along with soap scum, can also gradually cause blockages in Parkdale homes. Another frequent cause is the intrusion of tree roots into drain pipes.
