Not only can clogged drains be a huge inconvenience but they can also lead to major problems within your home if left unaddressed. Many people are unaware of the issues that clogged drains may cause and see a clog as just an annoyance. Not taking care of the problem can lead to a more serious clog which could cause a complete blockage. Stagnant water from a blockage will produce bad odors and can attract insects.
Furthermore, complete blockages have the potential to be a major concern as the water has no where to go and can cause damage to the pipes which may result in leaking. Responsible homeowners would want to avoid this as leaks can lead to wide range of further problems such as water marks, mold and warping.
Clogs can also be a health issue in your home. Food and other waste that become trapped in the clog will begin to produce a bad odor and will be a breading ground for harmful bacteria along with mold and mildew. Not only will your home smell bad which is unpleasant and embarrassing but also can irritate those in your home who experience asthma or have airborne allergies.
Don’t put your home and health at risk by neglecting to deal with clogs.
