Why your drain chokes again a few months after clearing
If the same trap comes back every few months, another blind clear may not be enough.
A trap that clears “fine” and then slows again in weeks often has grease film, silt past the cup, or a partial downstream restriction. Pouring more chemical opener rarely fixes the pattern.
Before you book another blind clear
- Note how many weeks between chokes
- Say whether it is floor trap, kitchen or toilet
- Photo the trap with cover off if safe
WhatsApp with code DRAINCHOKE. We may recommend a more thorough clear or a survey if the stack is involved. See also choked drain service.
