Blocked drains.
Blocked drains and pipes are more than just a nuisance as they often result in unpleasant odors lingering in your house. Common symptoms include water rising in the toilet when you flush it and water pooling in showers and baths. Most of the time minor blockages can be removed by using drain rods.

Trees and leaves:
Leaves are not the only culprit, as tree roots which are drawn to the nearest source of water can also crack into the pipes over time, causing a blockage.
Grease and fat:
Any fatty substances which are washed down the sink will stick to the inside of the pipes, eventually building up so much that no more liquid can pass through.
Foreign objects:
Choked or blocked drainage can occur when foreign objects or materials such as soaps, fats ,toys or food build up become caught between the drainpipe and the pipes that flow underneath.
Hair:
A build-up of hair can cause a blockage.
