Blocked Sewer Signs You Cant Ignore

Whether here in Sydney or elsewhere in Australia the effective management of sewerage is absolutely critical to human health, happiness and the environment. There are Blocked Sewer Signs that you cant ignore. You may not give it a lot of thought, but the thousands of kilometres of pipes that get your waste from your home to local treatment facilities is vital and your home has a critical role to play.

So ask yourself this: Do you know the main signs of a blocked sewer drain in your home?

Ignore a developing problem for too long and it won’t take long before a simple blocked drain turns into an emergency blocked drain . We are not just talking about Expensive repairs but a dangerous biohazard for you, your family and even the community. The key to convenience, health and safety is knowing what to look for with these common blocked sewer signs.

Here are the top signs of a blocked sewer drain in your property from the specialist Sydney blocked drain plumbers at Affordable Plumbing Solutions.

1. The smell

We don’t have to explain why sewerage smells. However, if all is working properly, you should not notice what is going on inside your drains. Damaged and broken drains cause blockages. The smell then vents up through your drains which leads to the smell of sewerage.

2. The toilet

Most blocked drains begin with the toilet, so it makes sense to keep an eye on it for signs of a blockage. You can buy a variety of plungers from bunnings to try unblock your toilet. If you are unable to plunge your toilet, you could be dealing with a sewer blockage quite a long way down the sewer drain pipe inside your property. Another sign is bubbling toilet water, caused by a sewer drain blockage that could be because of broken or cracked drains that create air within those pipes.

3. The drains

Just like the toilet, you should also monitor what’s going on with your other drains. If a blockage is brewing in the kitchen or bathroom it could be a build up of food, soap, hair and other debris. However, if more than one of your drains are playing up, the likelihood that it is a blocked sewer drain is high.

4. The lawn

Wet grass in your backyard is another blocked sewer sign. The problem happens because of wastewater in your blocked drain that is surcharging and leaking into the ground, around the damaged or broken sewer pipe.

Why are you seeing those blocked sewer signs?

Plumbing inspections and maintenance need to be carried out. We recommend getting your drains checked by CCTV camera inspection yearly.

Your blocked sewer may also have been caused by:
