The most common causes for a drain pipe to block are:
- Build up of plant material (usually roots growing into the drain pipe joints in search of water)
- Build up of fats and soaps (usually causing a blocked sink)
- Debris entering the drain (generally through a broken pipe or uncovered gully)
- Foreign objects flushed down the toilet (Normally caused by Rim Blocks or sanitary towels)
- Broken drain pipe (Normally caused by tree roots, inferior or old piping, etcetera.)
