Manholes play a crucial role in the underground sewage and drainage system, allowing access for maintenance and inspections. But when a manhole becomes blocked, it can cause serious health risks, property damage, and environmental pollution. We specialize in identifying and resolving manhole blockages to keep your sewage system flowing smoothly and safely.
💥 What Is a Manhole Blockage?
A manhole blockage occurs when solid waste, debris, grease, tree roots, or foreign objects obstruct the flow of wastewater through underground sewer lines. This can lead to backflow, flooding, foul odours, and even surface-level overflow in streets or private premises.
🧼 Common Causes of Manhole Blockages
-
Grease and Fat Buildup
Grease from kitchens and food establishments solidifies in pipes, causing major blockages. -
Improper Waste Disposal
Flushing items like wet wipes, sanitary pads, diapers, and plastics into the toilet can clog sewer lines. -
Tree Root Infiltration
Roots from nearby trees can break into underground pipes and grow, creating a blockage over time. -
Collapsed or Damaged Pipes
Old, cracked, or misaligned pipes can restrict flow or collapse entirely. -
Heavy Rain and Flooding
Stormwater overload during rainy seasons can carry mud and debris into manholes, causing backups.
⚠️ Signs of a Blocked Manhole
-
Unpleasant odours around the property
-
Overflowing drains or manholes
-
Slow drainage in toilets and sinks
-
Gurgling sounds from the drainage system
-
Wastewater pooling around the premises
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to take immediate action.
