What Does it Mean to Have Clogged Plumbing?

As a homeowner, it’s easy to forget about the plumbing when it’s working just perfectly fine. But, when something goes wrong, it’ll never fail to make you feel frustrated and want to get the problem done right away. If you know the harsh reality of a clogged problem, you wouldn’t have to be dealing with it in the first place because you’ll move heaven and earth just to make sure all your drains are always in good shape as possible. But if you haven’t, stick around as we quickly run through a few worst things that can happen from clogged plumbing and some handy tips to get it right.

Worst things that can happen because of clogged plumbing

1. Water bill will potentially go through the roof – At some point, you will probably find yourself running into a clog problem, but you wouldn’t know if that is the only thing that needs sorted out. A clogged pipe can also mean there’s leaking along the pipe that you wouldn’t be able to detect with your bare eyes if you don’t have the skills or tools to do it. When a pipe is clogged up, it restricts the flow of the water, which will then lead to the pipe being unable to sustain the pressure inside and spring a leak. An undetected leak will never fail to show signs in your water bill. You may not be able to tell right away if you have completely under the radar leaking, by looking at your next bill, but if you notice your water bill is increasing month by month without any changes done in your plumbing, then call a plumber right away. A specialised plumber, like sewer relining Sydney professionals, has all the tools and skills to locate sources of leaks and fix all plumbing problems in one go.
2. The chance of property damage is high – In an unlucky twist of events, if the clogs in your home remain unresolved, water damage is sure to happen next. The water that has nowhere to go can escape the pipe through leaks and gaps, and seep into the walls, ceilings and floorings instead of leaving your property. If this goes on for long it will weaken your structural foundation and leave you with a house full of moulds and mildew, even a flood. As soon as you notice increased moisture in your walls, or your under sink is flooded, then they’re likely a choked off pipe that needs to be serviced.
3. Sewer pests may ravage your home – If your drains are blocked, the water just sits there in the drainage, getting rot and gross. The worst bit is that the filthier it is, the more the sewer pest finds it a cozy place to live and reproduce. Rodents, roaches and drain flies are common crawling creatures that are especially attracted to the waste jamming up in your drainage system. Every tiny bit of food waste and other debris, including hair and rubbish that hits the drain becomes a staple meal for these always-hungry pests. Unfortunately, these creatures, like us, don’t like the idea of eating the same meal everyday so they go out to hunt for more. These pests are not only ugly to see, but also dangerous to health.
4. Nasty stuff can come right back to your drains – If you find yourself flushing your toilet many times and it seems to gurgle as with your sink drain, that means there is a sewer backup and the water is trying to find another way out. The air gets trapped in a clogged drain when water tries to get past the blockage. This is not a good sign as it could mean that anytime soon, you might witness a nasty scene of wastewater and waste coming right back up. We know, it’s not fun to think about, but sewage backups can happen to anyone, in any home, and at just about any time when clogged drains or clogged sewer lines are left to go on. Whether or not this situation seems familiar to you, call a sewer relining contractor right away. We are experts in drainage problems and will surely be able to give you options to fix this problem once and for all.

5. Flood is sure to happen – You step away for a minute, but when you look back, your kitchen sink is filled to the brim with wastewater and it’s about to overflow. You know you’re in trouble when this happens, so call a plumber for emergency service right away. Blocked drains might seem like just a nuisance at first, but it won’t be long before it becomes the reason for a flood at home. When drains are blocked, your sink, shower and drains will have a hard time emptying the water, so it goes right back up instead.

Handy tips to get it right

• Don’t treat your drains or toilet like a wastebasket.
• Educate your children about proper ways of disposing of rubbish.
• Give your drainage system tender love and care by doing regular inspections and cleaning.
• Don’t dump fat, grease and oil into your sink.
• Never disregard simple problems, like a leaky tap.
• Remove the dirt and grease off your kitchenware before washing them in your sink.
• Replace drain filters when it’s no longer effective at catching hair, dirt and other debris.
• Always have a reliable plunger tucked away near your toilet, sink, or shower.
• Call a plumber as soon as problems arise.
