What causes blocked drains in Darlington?
The most common causes of blocked drains in residential properties around Darlington are fat and grease build-up (especially in kitchen drains), hair and soap scum (bathroom drains), tree root ingress (outdoor drains), and foreign objects like wet wipes and sanitary products. Older properties in Darlington may also have clay pipes that are more prone to cracking and root penetration.
Do I need drain clearance or drain repair?
