Earbuds

Earbuds have been known to have caused blocked sewer systems in Paulshof because they get stuck inside the pipe and then trap all debris flowing down the pipe. For some reason, more people than you will imagine do this. They carelessly flush Ear Buds down the loo. This is a practice that has cost a great many property owners the despair of having to call us for a drain cleaning session.

Dental Floss

Dental Floss flowing down a sewer line gets stuck easily, eventually causing debris to flow down the sewer line. The result is a full-blown blockage. We have helped many residents of Paulshof because of Dental Floss being flushed down the loo. The easiest way is to avoid this, and many necessary blockages will be avoided in the future.

Pads

Sanitary Pads are another culprit causing blockages in Paulshof. Amazingly enough, some people in the area still think it will not cause harm when they flush them down the loo. Pads are designed to soak up moisture. So, when they end up inside the sewer pipe, they start swelling and block any flow of sewer waste instantly. Normally when we deal with a blockage because of pads, it is almost instant. The best practice is obviously not to bring them close to your loo.

Tampons

Tampons are one of the nastiest devices causing blockages in Paulshof. They have a piece of string attached to them that trails behind them as soon as they enter the sewer pipe. The heavier part is the body of the Tampon. This happens because it swells up as it soaks up moisture. The piece of string attached to it will trap debris flowing down the pipe and result in a blockage. In some instances, you are lucky, and the tampon makes it to the municipal connection, however, if it does not you have problems.

Cigarette stubs

Cigarette stubs flow down the sewer lines very slowly eventually stopping the flow of debris down the pipe if the fall on the sewer line is small. The result is an infamous Paulshof blocked sewer line. This is a more common occurrence than you might think in Paulshof.

Candy wrappers

Candy wrappers causing an Paulshof lockage are not only restricted to children in the area. Believe me, we have seen so many instances where adults have caused these blockages. The candy wrapper flows down the sewer line slowly if the fall of the sewer line is small. The buildings and houses in the Paulshof suffer from small falls in the sewer lines so it becomes an issue in the area.

Soft toys

Soft toys causing blockages are only restricted to infants doing experiments. We sometimes laugh about it however the parents never laugh or think it is funny.

Too much toilet paper

Too much toilet paper causing blockages in Paulshof is common. What happens to toilet paper when it meets water is it starts breaking down. This means that when you use toilet paper in a toilet bowl it starts breaking up as soon as it meets the water. However, when you use large balls of toilet paper, the center of the ball does not meet the water to break up as on the sides. Thus, when the big ball of toilet paper flows down the sewer line and the fall of the sewer line is small, it can get stuck inside the pipe. Causing all the effluents flowing down the pipe to get stuck. The result is a blockage inside the pipe. These blockages can become so severe that we need a machine to clear the blockage.

Poor-quality toilet paper

Poor quality toilet paper sold by some shops in Paulshof does not break down easily causing blockages. Thus, it is always advisable to ensure that you buy quality toilet paper and avoid the cheaper ones from some of the shops as they might cause you to spend money on unblocking of your sewer line.

Compromised sewer lines

Compromised sewer lines are sewer pipes that have broken or collapsed. Any many cases due to age, heavy vehicles cause the area of the pipe to shake, the excessive weight placed directly above the area where the pipes were laid, like heavy vehicles moving over the area where the pipe was laid, and obviously tree roots damaging pipes. Once the pipe is damaged or will just get worse and deteriorate more. The only solution to this problem is to replace the length of the pipe that was damaged. Our teams regularly replace portions of compromised sewer lines in Paulshof.

Tree roots

Tree roots are attracted to compromised sewer lines as they not only leak moisture but also unrestraint in the form of effluents. So once the roots enter the pipe they grow at a phenomenal speed. We see this daily in Paulshof. The only real solution is to use our machines to clear the pipe and then seal the portion of the pipe that was compromised. In most cases the pipe gets compromised on joints, so we excavate the area and then seal it with concrete. Thus, ensuring that further occurrences of tree root issues will be avoided.
