What is involved with Sewer and Drain Cleaning?
Drain cleaning is a method of unblocking sewer pipes or clogged wastewater drains. Mechanical devices such as plumber's snakes, toilet plungers, drain augers, and other similar devices are the most used to unclog drains and sewer lines.
It's important to have your clogged drains and sewer lines cleared so they don't cause further damage down the road, such as:
Plumbing Leaks caused by clogged drains
A clogged drain can cause plumbing leaks in pipes that are connected to sinks, tubs, and garbage disposals causing water to back up in the drainpipes. When this happens, the standing water in the pipe can cause leaks through the caulking and seals.
Water Contamination
Waste buildup in clogged drains and pipes can increase the chance of water contamination. The water can become contaminated when it passes through the waste and bacteria as it goes through the pipes which can also cause the water to flow backwards, leading to dirty water.
Structural Damage
A clogged drain could cause water to flow backward and this backflow of water may soak into the foundation of your home, leaving the potential for the buildings structure to become damaged or weak. Clogged drains can also cause flooding inside your home causing a lot of damage to your floor that can amount to costly repairs.
Stinky Odors
Food, hair, waste, or other types of gunk will find it's way down the drain whether they should or not. This accumulation can clog the pipes and cause bacteria to form causing strong unpleasant odors and are known to cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea and also cause the eyes, nose, and throat to have irritation.
Health Risks
If you or your family come in contact with contaminated water from clogged drains containing bacteria, mold, or disease-carrying insects, it could lead to serious health risks. Bacterial infections such as campylobacteriosis and typhoid are associated with clogged drains and have symptoms that include diarrhea and fever.
Legionnaires’ disease (a respiratory condition) is another illness well known stemming from bacteria in the water. Another bacteria from contaminated water is known as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that causes peptic ulcers to form in the lining of the stomach of the small intestine.
If mold growth is present, then the airborne mold spores could cause respiratory problems causing issues with the nervous system.
Pests
Clogged drains produce stagnant water and attracts many types of insects, such as mosquitoes. Insects live and lay eggs in clogged drains and if the drains are clogged with food, then this waste provides a steady diet for insects.
The most common types of insects that live in clogged drains include:
Cockroaches - who usually make their home in bathroom & kitchen drains.
Drain flies also known as moth flies are known to breed in drains.
Fruit flies are tiny nuisances that like to lay their eggs in kitchen drains.
Phorid flies are very unsanitary and use clogged drains as their breeding grounds.
Thoroughly having your clogged drains cleaned should get rid of any pests living inside it.
