Identifying Common Causes of Blockages 

The first step in tackling recurring blockages is identifying their common causes. These can range from accumulated hair and soap scum in showers to food debris and grease in kitchen sinks. In some cases, tree roots infiltrating sewer lines can also lead to frequent blockages. 

Long-Term Solutions for Drain Blockages 

1. Regular Professional Cleaning: Scheduling regular cleaning by a professional plumber can prevent the buildup that leads to blockages. 

2. Pipe Relining: For older pipes prone to root intrusion, pipe relining can offer a more permanent solution without the need for extensive excavation. 

3. Installing Drain Guards: Simple measures like installing drain guards can catch hair and debris, preventing them from entering your plumbing system. 
   

Preventive Home Practices 

In addition to professional interventions, adopting certain home practices can significantly reduce the risk of blockages: 

• Avoid pouring grease and food scraps down the kitchen sink. 

• Regularly clean hair and soap scum from shower and bathtub drains. 

• Use natural drain cleaning methods regularly to maintain clear pipes.
