Did you know 48% of the nation pour fats, oils and grease (FOG) down their drains? It might seem harmless, but once these cool and build up inside pipes, they can contribute to blockages, fatbergs and wider problems for our sewers and waterways.

This Unblocktober, we’re helping spread the message - let fats and oils cool, scrape them into the bin and keep them out of the drain.

Small changes at home can make a big difference to the health of our drains, sewers, watercourses and seas.

October is Unblocktober - read our latest blog about it: https://maintaindrains.co.uk/unblocktober

Unblocktober is a month dedicated to helping protect our drains, sewers and waterways by being more careful about what goes down our sinks and toilets.

From fats, oils and grease to food waste and wet wipes, some everyday habits can cause much bigger drainage problems than you might expect.

In our latest blog, we look at why Unblocktober matters, some of the most common causes of blocked drains and a few of the more unusual things the Maintain Drains team has found underground over the years.

I’m Jon from Maintain Drains.
We’ve been sorting drainage problems around Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and the surrounding area for 20 years now — and you’d be surprised how often we get called out to something people have been putting off for weeks because they’re not really sure who to call.
Slow-draining sinks. Toilets that keep blocking. Bad smells. Gurgling drains. Water coming up where it shouldn’t. Rats getting into the drainage system. Or a drain that keeps blocking no matter how many times it’s cleared.
We deal with everything from straightforward drain unblocking through to CCTV drain surveys, high-pressure jetting, drain mapping, relining, root removal and excavation/repairs.
We’re local, fully insured and have a team of experienced drainage engineers — and we’re always happy to have a look and tell you what we think.
Got a drain problem you’ve been meaning to sort?
