Do Your Drain Pipes Show This?

in Query

Blocked drains are not only smelly, but any damage done can be very expensive in the long run when it becomes a recurring problem. That’s why Blocked Drains Fixed Today advises their clients on how to ensure their drainages are clog-free. There are certain signs that a homeowner should look out for and if any of them come up, action should be taken immediately.

Is your drainage system showing these signs?

  • Unpleasant Odor

When waste matter such as hair, paper and soap clogs a drainage, the continuous flow of water is interrupted. The stagnant water starts to stink and it spreads all over the house.

  • An Overflowing Toilet

A blockage in the toilet has the potential to trigger a flow of raw sewage from to the toilet bowl to other rooms in your home. Blocked Drains Fixed Today advises that same goes for blocked sinks. Even though the sinks will have clean water flowing, someone in north shore knows the damage to the house can be extensive.

  • Unfamiliar sounds

Trapped air can cause water to produce gargling sounds as it tries to find its way through the sinks, pipes and showers. These noises around showers and bathtubs should be checked because it may be a blockage.

  • Slow to drain

At times water in the shower, sinks and toilet bowls may take a bit longer to drain or there may be a backwash. According to Blocked Drains Fixed Today, all these are indicators of a blockage. In addition, if quite a number of fixtures in the house are affected at the same time, then the blockage is most likely in the main sewer line.

Various Causes of Blockages

A homeowner may not be aware of the various causes of blocked drains and Blocked Drains Fixed Today gives the following tips.

  • Roots of Trees

There are trees and plants which tend to dig into hairline cracks especially when they during the dry season. The most vulnerable pipes to suffer this kind of damage are clay pipes. That’s why it is important to avoid planting flowers and trees near pipes.

  • Sanitary

Using too much loo paper, wipes and various sanitary items are a major cause of blockages. Though some wipes and sanitary items packages have misleading information that they can be flushed. That is not the case, because most of these products expand once they are in water, hence causing blockages.

  • Cooking fat and Food Leftovers.

Are you tipping grease, fat and kitchen oil into the sink? The experts at Blocked Drains Fixed Today agree this may cause a major blockage because they harden inside the pipes and with time they cause blockages. Fatbergs also form as the oil and grease go down the sewer line and harden up.

.Another major cause of blockages in the kitchen sink is tea leaves and coffee residue.

  • Soap and Hair

Since certain soaps contain fats and oils, they easily produce scum inside the pipes. With time they can cause a major blockage. Apart from the scum, soap bind together other items such as hair which may be from hair loss during shampooing.

As a homeowner knowing what to do to avoid a blocked drainage will save time and money.
