Regardless of the season, tree roots block drains.
And there is a school of thought they occur more during the full moon :-).
However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that tree roots are more likely to cause blocked drains during the full moon.
The idea that the full moon affects tree roots and causes them to grow more or become more active is a myth that has been around for a long time.
Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of factors, including tree roots about 85% of the time.
Tree roots grow in response to a variety of factors, such as moisture, nutrients, and changes in temperature, but the phase of the moon has no effect on this process.
Tree leaves and other debris, especially from our deciduous trees can accumulate in pipes, as well as grease, oil, and other substances like paint and even cement sometimes gets poured down the drain.
Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent blocked drains and keep your pipes flowing smoothly.
The full moon on the east coast of Australia is at about 14.30 today April 6th, 2023.
I haven’t thought of it like that before. Thanks for the fun and helpful guide you shared.
