    Sand, cement and tile grout washed down after building works lay in the bottom of the drain restricting flow - causing build up.

    If the joints have moved, the step between the sections can hold back solids causing a build up.
  • Radial Cracks / Broken Segments:
    Tissue gets caught and this can hold back solids causing a build up for blocked drains
