The most common cause of blocked drains are:

Tree Roots

Tree roots thrive in the warm, moist, nutrient rich atmosphere above the water surface inside sewer drains. The flow of warm water inside the sewer pipe causes water vapour to escape in to the cold soil surrounding the pipe. Tree roots are attracted to the water vapour leaving the pipe and they follow the vapour trail to the source of the moisture, which is usually a crack or loose joint in the sewer pipe. Upon reaching the defect, tree roots will penetrate the opening to reach the nutrients and moisture inside.
