A pipe blockage doesn’t happen overnight. It is often preceded by warning signs that enable you to intervene in time and avoid a complete blockage. By spotting these signs and acting quickly, you can prevent a total blockage and avoid greater damage. <\/p>\n\n
If water takes longer to drain down the sink, shower or washbasin, it means that a deposit is beginning to partially obstruct the pipe. This is often caused by an accumulation of grease, hair or food residues. <\/p>\n\n
Noxious odors from pipes indicate the presence of decomposing organic waste. When residues accumulate in the pipes, they release gases that rise up into the plumbing system. <\/p>\n\n
If you hear gurgling noises after you’ve turned on the water, this means that air is trapped in the pipe due to a blockage. This phenomenon indicates poor water circulation and may precede a total blockage. <\/p>\n\n
If the water backs up into another drainage point (e.g. shower water backs up into the sink or WC), the system is partially blocked. This problem may be linked to a blockage in the main pipe. <\/p>\n\n
If you regularly notice residues after the water has been drained, such as greasy deposits or particles, this may indicate a drainage problem and the onset of pipe clogging.<\/p>\n\n
