Noticed that your basin seems to be taking forever to drain?
If so, you may be suffering from a partial drain blockage.
With the amount of stuff that goes down our drains (hair, grease, food scraps), it’s no surprise that blocked drains are one of the most common household problems our plumbers in Melbourne encounter.
Ideally, you’ll never find yourself in that position to begin with, but if you’re suffering from blocked drains, call a plumber now for immediate attention.
The key to avoiding a drain blockage is regular drain cleaning.
Drain cleaning is menial. It’s boring. We understand.
But just like other unpleasant tasks like filling out your tax return or calling your insurance company, it’s something that needs to be done to ensure water runs freely in your home.
We recommend being proactive. Make a habit of cleaning your drains once every couple of weeks or so. For drains like kitchen and shower drains, this might be even more frequent.
You don’t have to dismantle your piping or even purchase dedicated drain cleaner to clean yours out – there are plenty of household items that double as cleaning products.
While they mightn’t be effective at removing a blockage once it’s set, in some cases they can flush debris before they ever have a chance to develop into a fully-fledged blockage.
Did you know that build-up in drains has the potential to cause leaks and permanent damage?
While uncommon, a damaged drain still has the potential to lead to pipe cracks. This is because stagnant water and dirt builds up, adding weight to your pipes.
Left uncleaned, this can lead to pipe leaks and even water damage, necessitating a call to your local emergency plumber for urgent help!
Blocked drains don’t smell very good, end of story. For starters, stagnant water can stink up your bathroom or kitchen.
Not to mention, debris such as grease, hair, soap scum and food scraps – the usual suspects behind blocked drains – decay in your pipes. The result doesn’t just block your drains, but makes them smell foul!
In the event of major blockages, drastic action may be required. Using our arsenal of plumbing tools, an emergency plumber from Watermaster Plumbing can remove your blockage, clearing your drains.
The problem is that this can prove highly disruptive to your daily routine.
Regularly cleaning your drains can save you from disruptive plumbing work. In turn, this saves you from having to shell out for emergency plumbing repairs!
A blocked drain is the perfect breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, insects and mould, with everything these household villains love:
Once they take hold, this can put your family’s health at risk. This is especially dangerous if your household includes seniors, children, pregnant women or people with respiratory conditions.
The best way to avoid this is to avoid blockages. Be proactive with your drains – clean them regularly and you may never have to deal with these unhealthy home invaders.
If there’s one key takeaway from all of this, it’s that regular drain cleaning is an absolute must.
If you don’t include you drains in your monthly deep clean, we suggest altering your schedule to accommodate for it the next time.
