Common Signs of a Blocked Drain

If you notice any of the following, it’s time to take action:

  • Slow draining sinks, showers, or toilets
  • Gurgling sounds from pipes
  • Unpleasant sewage smells
  • Standing water around drains
  • Overflowing drains or backed-up water

Ignoring these signs can lead to costly repairs. The sooner you act, the better. A blocked drain can start as a minor inconvenience but quickly become a serious plumbing issue if left untreated. Recognising the warning signs early can save you time, money, and potential property damage.

What Causes Blocked Drains in East Sussex?

Blocked drains are a frequent problem in East Sussex, affecting both urban and rural areas. The county’s mix of historic properties, modern developments, and countryside landscapes makes it particularly vulnerable to drainage issues.

The most common causes include:

  • Tree roots invading pipes: A major issue in East Sussex’s more rural areas. As trees grow, their roots naturally seek out moisture sources, often infiltrating cracks in underground pipes.
  • Heavy rainfall & debris build-up: Frequent downpours can lead to blocked drains. Leaves, mud, and garden debris wash into drains, causing them to clog.
  • Fat, oil, and grease: A common cause of kitchen sink blockages. Cooking oils, fats, and food scraps solidify inside pipes, restricting water flow.
  • Toilet waste & sanitary products: Items like wipes and nappies can cause serious blockages. Many “flushable” wipes do not break down properly, leading to pipe blockages.
  • Collapsed or damaged pipes: Older properties in towns like Lewes and Rye often suffer from drainage system deterioration. Over time, pipes made of clay or metal corrode, crack, or completely collapse under pressure.

Regardless of cause, drainage issues can be costly and disruptive. At Coastal Drains, we provide expert, affordable, and eco-friendly drain unblocking services across East Sussex.
