A kitchen and bathroom blockage can be frustrating and inconvenient. Kitchen drains block more frequently, while bathroom drains block differently.
Kitchen blockage pipe risks
- Fats, oils and grease
- Food waste
- Coffee grounds
Bathroom blockage pipe risks
- Hair
- Soap and toothpaste residue
- Wipes
Why combined misuse causes major problems
A kitchen and bathroom blockage happens when grease meets wipes or hair, this makes them become far more solid and difficult to remove. Ideally you need to avoid combining the mistakes to begin with, as further down the line the problems will compound when they meet.
Prevention habits that actually work
- Letting grease cool before disposal in a general waste bin (not down the kitchen sink)
- Using strainers (to catch hair before it goes down the bathroom drain)
- Avoiding wipes entirely (bin them don’t flush them)
