What to be vary of when sewer drains blocked?
When a sewer line is blocked or clogged and it starts to overflow, the waste matter will seep back up through your drains and into your home. If left untreated, this can be extremely hazardous for both you and your family.
A blocked sewer drain can lead to unsanitary conditions in your home such as mold, mildew, or pest infestation. This can affect both your health and the value of your property.
What Are The Signs Of A Blocked Sewage Drain?
Signs that a sewer trap is blocked or clogged can be a foul odor or a buildup of sludge in the sink. This sludge will overflow and create a stench in your kitchen sink. It’s important to have a professional plumber take a look at the problem to ensure proper drainage. In severe cases, it could lead to sewage backup into your home.
Factors That May Cause Blocked Sewage Lines
A blocked sewer drain is a common plumbing issue that can be caused by a number of factors. In order to deal with this problem, you need to take the time to investigate what caused the blockage in the first place and how it should be fix. Blocked sewers can cause a variety of issues from flooding to hazardous waste overflow. There are many things that can be done in order to prevent a blockage from happening or make a timely resolution for when one does happen.
The most common factors for blocked sewer pipes are:
- Tree roots. Tree roots can enter the sewer system through cracks in the pipe and cause clogs and backups. They can be caused by trees that overhang the pipe, or trees that have grown up close to the pipe’s surface.
- Grease/fat buildup is a major factor in clogged drain pipes because it coats the inside of the pipe and prevents water from flowing.
- Items too large for the pipe or materials that have been flushed down toilets
- Toilet paper
To avoid blockages in your sewer drain, you should regularly clean your kitchen sink with hot water and detergent. Try to keep the sink clean when cooking or washing dishes.
