Finding you have a blocked drain in your Sandringham home is a surprisingly common problem. Various factors contribute to blocked drains – including hair accumulation in shower drains and improper disposal of items like tissues and sanitary products down toilets. Additionally, food residue, particularly oil, and soap scum can gradually lead to blockages within Sandringham homes. Another prevalent cause is the infiltration of tree roots into drain pipes.
