Sewer and Drain Cleaning

Sewer and Drain Cleaning

When unpleasant odors start emanating from your sink drains, toilets begin to overflow, or you notice slow drainage, it may be time to enlist the services of a professional plumber. Everyday debris such as food, hair, grease, and other substances that go down the drain can quickly accumulate and result in stubborn clogs that cause your pipes to back up.

Although it may be tempting to rely on home remedies and liquid drain cleaners, these methods can potentially exacerbate the issue. Ensure that the job is completed correctly the first time around. We offer competitive prices and utilize specialized equipment to effectively clear your sewer and drains.

Structural Integrity at Risk

A blocked drain can lead to water flowing in the opposite direction, potentially seeping into your home's foundation. This backflow poses a risk of weakening or damaging the building's structure. Moreover, clogged drains can result in indoor flooding, leading to extensive damage to your floors that may require expensive repairs.

Unpleasant Smells

Food scraps, hair strands, waste, or other debris have a tendency to make their way down the drain, whether intended or not. This buildup can lead to clogged pipes and the growth of bacteria, resulting in potent, unwelcome odors that may trigger headaches, dizziness, and nausea, while also causing irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat.

Health Hazards

Exposure to contaminated water from obstructed drains, which may harbor bacteria, mold, and disease-carrying insects, poses significant health risks to you and your family. Clogged drains are linked to bacterial infections like campylobacteriosis and typhoid, manifesting symptoms such as diarrhea and fever.

Moreover, Legionnaires' disease, a respiratory illness, can be contracted from waterborne bacteria. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), found in contaminated water, is known to cause peptic ulcers in the stomach or small intestine.

In the presence of mold growth, airborne mold spores can lead to respiratory issues and impact the nervous system.

Pest Infestation

When drains become clogged, they create stagnant water that lures various insects, including mosquitoes. These pests find shelter and lay eggs in the clogged drains, especially those filled with food waste, which serves as a constant food source for them.

The most common insects that inhabit congested drains are:

- Cockroaches, who tend to reside in bathroom and kitchen drains.

- Drain flies, also known as moth flies, are notorious for reproducing in drains.

- Fruit flies, tiny pests that lay eggs in kitchen drains.

- Phorid flies, highly unhygienic insects that use congested drains as breeding sites.

Thoroughly cleaning your clogged drains should eliminate any pests residing within.
