Roger has a quick and straightforward fix for a blocked drain or gully, usually just outside your kitchen
______________________
Kitchen drains or gullies often get blocked due to the accumulation of substances commonly washed down the sink. Here are some of the common reasons for blockages:
Food Particles:
Tiny food particles, especially those that are fibrous or starchy, can stick to the pipes and eventually cause a blockage.
Grease and Oil:
Grease, fats, and oils solidify inside the pipes over time, creating a sticky surface that can trap other debris and gradually build up to a blockage.
Soap Scum:
Soap residues can combine with minerals in water to form a hard residue (soap scum) that can clog pipes.
Foreign Objects:
Sometimes, objects that shouldn’t be in the drain (like utensils, small toys, etc.) can accidentally fall in and cause a blockage.
If you don’t fancy Roger’s method of unblocking a kitchen drain, you can try several methods:
Boiling Water:
Pouring boiling water down the drain can sometimes dissolve or loosen a blocked drain caused be grease.
