If Your Sewage Line Is Blocked, You Need Professional Help
Home or business owners in the Columbus area can, if they encounter a minor plumbing issue, resolve the problem themselves with a bit of effort and the right tools. Poor water flow from a single tap, for example, can often be solved by unscrewing the tap and emptying an aerator blocked by sediment.
However, while some plumbing issues are minor and can easily be handled by property owners, others are real emergencies that professionals should only tackle. A blocked sewage line falls into this category.
A Health Threat
Most homes and commercial properties will have single dedicated sewage or drainage pipe that handles the outflow for everything. Bathwater, shower water, dishwashing water, laundry water, and even toilet water flow through this line and into a town or city’s central sewage system. This means that if this line gets filled or even blocked, everything—including used toilet water—can flow back up through toilets and sinks.
This presents a severe health risk. Human and animal waste are filled with bacteria, and even physical contact may be enough to transmit an illness to a person.
Get Your Sewer Line Fixed
A blocked sewage line can result from sediment built up over time, tree roots invading a line, or even a child’s toy flushed down the toilet, or too much oil or grease poured down a drain. However, in all of these cases, only a professional with the right tools can safely address the issue and restore proper flow and drainage to this critical part of a home’s plumbing.
