Health Hazards Associated with Non-Functional Drains
When drains back up, they can create unsanitary conditions as wastewater overflows and seeps into your home or business. This stagnant water can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and mold spores, which thrive in damp environments and can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health complications. Additionally, foul smells emitted by sewage backups can impact indoor air quality, making your home an uncomfortable place to be.
Neglected plumbing issues can also lead to structural damage over time. When sewage leaks into walls or foundations, it can weaken the integrity of your home, potentially resulting in costly repairs down the line. It’s vital to promptly address any signs of drain or sewer problems, ensuring the smooth operation of your plumbing system and safeguarding your health and well-being. By staying vigilant and seeking professional help when needed, you can maintain a clean and healthy environment for yourself and your loved ones.

What You Can Do to Help Prevent Drain and Sewer Emergencies
Taking proactive measures is essential in maintaining the health of your plumbing system. Thankfully, there are some simple yet effective steps you can take to protect your drains and sewers from potential issues.
Take proactive steps like:
- Watching what you flush: Only dispose of toilet paper in the toilet; never flush items like wipes, dental floss, or feminine products, as they can lead to clogs.
- Using a strainer: Place strainers in sinks and showers to catch food particles, hair, and other debris that could block drains.
- Avoiding grease disposal: Never pour grease or oils down the sink. Instead, allow them to cool and dispose of them in the trash.
- Investing in regular cleanings: Let our professionals perform preventative cleanings, or use baking soda and vinegar to clean your drains yourself, breaking down build-up and keeping them fresh.
- Repairing issues promptly: Regularly check exposed pipes for leaks or signs of wear and ensure any issues are addressed immediately to prevent worsening conditions.
- Maintaining outdoor drains: Clear leaves and debris from outdoor drains to prevent blockages caused by overflowing water during heavy rains.
Incorporating these straightforward practices into your routine can significantly reduce the risk of unexpected drain and sewer emergencies.
