The Dangers of Clogged Drains

Clogged drains can lead to a range of problems that may affect the integrity of your plumbing system and, in some cases, even your health. The risks include, but are not limited to: 

• Cracked pipes: When a drain becomes blocked, pressure builds up, eventually leading to cracks or burst pipes. This can result in costly repairs, water damage to the property, and potential flooding.
• Spreading bacteria: Standing water and decomposing organic matter in clogged drains create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria to thrive. Bacterial growth can lead to infections and diseases. Common bacteria associated with clogged drains include E. coli, salmonella, staph, campylobacter, and Legionella.
• Poor indoor water quality: What happens to the running water is directly related to the bacteria problem. When drains are backed up or clogged, they can cause water to become contaminated. This can result in poor water quality, making drinking, cooking, or other household uses unsafe.
