Bathroom drain blockages in Delhi are most commonly caused by hair, soap scum, and debris buildup. Kitchen drain blocks are usually caused by oil and food waste. A plumber can clear drains using a drain snake (manual or electric), high-pressure jetting, or chemical treatment for stubborn blockages. Regular drain cleaning every 6 months prevents major blockages.
