Emergency Plumber Bristol

One of the most common plumbing problems is a blocked drain. Blockages can happen for many reasons, but often the blockage is caused by too much hair and soap residue. This can happen after washing a few dishes in the sink, or even if you’ve just washed your hands. The water gathers in the sink and creates a barrier that prevents it from draining properly. As more water flows into the sink, more of this barrier is created until eventually it backs up into your kitchen or bathroom drain and causes a blockage.

In case of a blocked drain, the first thing to do is to find out where the blockage is.
