Drain blockages may seem like a regular plumbing issue at first glance, but they can be far more harmful to your home and health than you may initially think. Small items, debris and grease can all build up in your pipes over time and block the flow of water and sewerage. If you don’t get your clogged drain cleared quickly, the water will stagnate and cause a number of issues in your Tarneit home.
Stagnant water that has been left for extended periods of time will create a foul odour. These smells will eventually rise up to the surface and may fill your home with a disgusting smell. Along with this, water from clogged drains in Tarneit can leak into the foundations of your home, weakening its structural integrity over time. This moisture can rise up the walls or floor boards, creating warping, stains or unsightly colours. When left even longer, you may face a risk of flooding.
Along with damaging your home, water from blocked drains will attract unwanted visitors. Mosquitos, flies and other disease-carrying bugs will end up in your home. This is highly unpleasant and not conducive to good health. Along with attracting insects, this water will increase the risk of mildew, bacteria and mould. These substances will threaten the health of the people and pets in your home.
