Struggling with Slow Drains? Here’s How to Fix the Problem

Do your sink, shower, or bath seem to drain away slowly? Or maybe you’re dealing with recurring blockages that just won’t go away? These are common signs that your pipework might be in need of a good clean. Over time, everyday substances like limescale, urine, and sludge can build up inside your pipes, leading to serious drainage issues if left unchecked.

At Kingfisher Drainage and Jetting, we’ve seen it all—from slow-draining sinks to fully blocked drains that need immediate attention. The good news is, there’s often a straightforward solution: a full pipe de-scale. With our expert help, we can clear the build-up in your pipes and get your home or business running smoothly again.

What Causes Slow Drains?

There are several reasons why your drains might be taking their time to clear, and most of them have to do with build-up inside the pipes:

Urine Crystals: Not something people like to think about, but urine crystals can build up over time and cause blockages, especially in toilets. When combined with other waste like limescale and wipes, it can lead to significant drainage issues.

Limescale Build-Up: If you live in an area with hard water, like many parts of Essex, limescale is likely to be one of the biggest culprits behind your drainage issues. Over time, minerals from the water collect in your pipes, gradually narrowing the flow and causing water to drain more slowly.

Sludge and Soap Scum: Every time you use your sink, bath, or shower, small amounts of grease, soap, and other debris make their way into your pipes. Eventually, these combine to form a sticky sludge that clogs the inside of your pipework.
