Signs Your Drain is Blocked
Contact us immediately if you notice:
- Slow drainage – Water taking ages to drain from sinks, baths, or showers
- Bad smells – Foul odours coming from drains or outside gullies
- Gurgling sounds – Strange noises when water drains away
- Water backing up – Waste water returning up sinks or toilets
- Overflowing gullies – Water pooling around outside drains

These are warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored. Blocked drains get worse over time and can cause serious damage if left untreated.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Horsham
Over 15 years serving Horsham, we’ve seen it all. The most common causes include:
Kitchen Drains
- Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) – Builds up and solidifies in pipes
- Food waste – Coffee grounds, rice, and pasta expand when wet
- Foreign objects – Bottle tops, utensils, and packaging
Bathroom Drains
- Hair and soap scum – Creates stubborn blockages in shower and basin drains
- Toiletries – Baby wipes, cotton buds, and sanitary products (these don’t break down!)
- Excessive toilet paper – Especially with older drainage systems
External Drains
- Tree roots – Grow into pipes searching for water and nutrients
- Leaves and debris – Autumn leaves are a major culprit
- Collapsed pipes – Ground movement or age causes pipe damage
- Clay soil – Common in Horsham, can cause pipes to shift and crack

Why DIY Drain Unblockers Don’t Work
Many Horsham homeowners try DIY solutions before calling us:
❌ Chemical drain cleaners – Damage pipes, harmful to environment, often ineffective
❌ Plungers – Only work on minor surface blockages
❌ Wire coat hangers – Can push blockages deeper or damage pipes
❌ Boiling water – Risks cracking toilets and pipes
The problem with DIY: You can’t see what’s causing the blockage. It might be tree roots, a collapsed pipe, or a foreign object – problems that need professional equipment.
✓ Professional water jetting clears blockages properly
✓ CCTV surveys identify the root cause
✓ Expert diagnosis prevents the problem returning
