Unblocking Drains

At Real Utilities, we provide professional drain unblocking services for residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re dealing with a minor clog or a completely blocked drain, our expert team uses advanced techniques and equipment to restore the proper flow of your drainage system quickly and effectively.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Fat, Oil & Grease Build-up – These substances solidify over time, restricting water flow.

  • Hair & Soap Residue – Common in bathroom drains, these materials can create stubborn blockages.

  • Foreign Objects – Items such as wipes, sanitary products, and small household objects can obstruct pipes.

  • Tree Root Intrusion – Roots can penetrate underground pipes, causing severe blockages and structural damage.

  • Collapsed or Damaged Pipes – Old or poorly maintained drainage systems can deteriorate and block the flow of water.
