BLOCKED BATHROOM DRAINS - Are you facing this issue frequently?

by Ruhe on Mar 28, 2024

What a mess it is whenever we have to clean our blocked drains or sewage pipes that are stuck with waste. Have you ever had a situation where you had to clean the pipes manually? Ruhe has come up with 5 reasons why your sewage pipes might be getting clogged frequently and a few solutions to combat it as well.

Reasons why your sewage pipes are getting stuck so frequently:

Lets face it, every homeowner’s most dreaded issue is solving a sewage pipe or blocked drain problem. Some of the main reasons why this happens are:

Hair Accumulation: Hair is a common culprit, binding with soap scum and creating clogs that block water flow.

Soap Scum Buildup: Soap residue can stick to the inside of pipes, narrowing them and reducing water passage over time.

Hard Water Deposits: Minerals in hard water can accumulate, forming solid deposits that restrict drainage.

Small Objects: Small items like wrappers or wet tissues, towel threads, when accumulated, also tend to block the drain.

Toothpaste and Cosmetic Products: Thick products can contribute to buildup and blockages when not thoroughly washed down.

PERFECT ADDITION TO YOUR BATHROOMS: RUHE’S SHOWER DRAIN CHANNELS

Ruhe shower drain channels are an amazing addition to your bathrooms, enhancing the space and improving the performance, such as quick and voluminous drainage of your bathrooms with them.

Our drain channels have a cockroach trap attached to them that makes sure that all dirt, scum and pests are collected inside the trap. The trap stores a small amount of water each time when it drains water into the sewage pipe. This little water stored in the trap acts as a barrier for any insects to crawl up the sewage pipe and even helps in neutralising any unpleasant smell or toxic gases.

None of us want these uninvited guests in our surroundings and thus these Drain Channels with Cockroach Trap could be a perfect solution to all your drainage and plumbing issues.

Not only that, the style is a plus one. We have the drains in several different PVD-coated colours and designs such as rose gold, and yellow gold. We also have Tile Insert and Marble Insert variants that allow you to seamlessly blend the drain channels with your bathroom or shower area floor.

We hope to have solved some of your Drain Block!
