Drainage glossary · Blockages and their causes

Shallow fall

A drain run laid with insufficient gradient, so water moves too slowly to carry solids along with it. Solids settle out and gradually build into a restriction.

What it means for you

Runs added during a kitchen or bathroom relocation are the usual culprits, which is why some drains block repeatedly from new.

Not sure whether this applies to your property? Ask us. There is no call-out charge and the price is fixed before any work starts.
