How to Prevent Blocked Drains at Home

Blocked drains are one of the most common (and avoidable) plumbing problems. With a few simple habits, you can save time, stress, and the cost of calling out a plumber.

Watch What Goes Down The Drain

Avoid putting grease, oil, food scraps, and coffee grounds down your kitchen sink. In bathrooms, use drain strainers to catch hair and soap build-up.

Regular Maintenance Matters

Schedule periodic drain cleaning or inspections — especially if you’ve noticed slow drainage. Early intervention prevents full blockages.

Know The Warning Signs

Gurgling noises, bad smells, or slow draining water usually mean a partial blockage is forming. Act early to avoid a complete blockage.

When To Call A Professional

If home remedies don’t work, it’s time for professional help. Blight’s Pipes can clear blocked drains safely and permanently.
