How Do I Know if I Need Drain Unblocking in Skelmersdale?
In most cases, your drains will start to tell you if you need drain unblocking services. There is a range of symptoms which blocked drains will create, including:
- Gurgling Noises when Drains Clear.
- Slow-Draining Drains. This can include Showers, Sinks and Toilets.
- Unpleasant Smells coming from Drains. In most cases, the Smell will be Sulphuric.
- Puddles or Standing Water Around Exterior Drains.
These are some of the more common warning signs that you’ll need to keep a lookout for. Blocked drains can, unfortunately, develop into much more serious issues across your property.
When any pipe becomes completely blocked, it can cause a variety of more serious problems to your property. Whenever a pipe becomes complete blocked, some of the most common problems you’ll suffer from include:
Water Damage
Whenever the pressure in blocked drains becomes too high, there is the risk of extensive water damage occurring. Waste water can easily escape through even the smallest of gaps, including cracks and loose pipe connections. It can escape inside your structure, resulting in mould and damp developing.
Water can also escape while the pipe is underground, which can easily cause damage to your foundations. This water can cause foundations to shift in place and even crack. If you do sustain water damage to your foundations, it is likely your building will become unstable.
Flooding and Standing Water
With nowhere to go, it is easy for waste water to rise back up the pipes and escape the drains. This can cause your property to flood from blocked drains in Skelmersdale.
There is also the risk that, for external drains, water will have nowhere to go. This can cause large puddles to develop around your external drains.
Health Hazards
In the event that water remains in a pipe due to a blockage, it can become hazardous. Bacteria of all kinds can grow and multiply in foul, standing water. This can create extremely unpleasant smells around your drains and across your property. It can also cause a range of illnesses and exacerbate existing health problems, including asthma.
What Kinds of Blocked Drains in Skelmersdale
Can James Drains Deal With?
Here at James Drains, our team of engineers have experience clearing all kinds of blocked drains. No matter how your drains have become blocked, our team can clear them quickly and easily. Over the years, we have worked to clear blocked drains in Skelmersdale from both man-made and natural blockages.
There are many ways your residential or commercial drains can become blocked. Some of the most common blockages involve:
Man-Made Blockages
These kinds of blockages are caused by flushing or disposing of the wrong materials. The two kinds of man-made blockages are:
- Food and FOG Blockages – Fats, oils and greases can easily cause blockages in your drains. When you combine this thick, adhesive substance with food waste, it is all too easy from drains to become blocked.
- Waste Material Blockages – Flushing the wrong kinds of materials down the toilet, sink or shower can also cause blockages. Some of the most common materials which cause blockages in drainage pipes include:
- Soap Scum.
- Nappies and Baby Wipes.
- Kitchen Roll.
Collapsed Drain Pipes
When pipes suffer structural damage, either due to subsidence or overload, they can sometimes collapse. This can cause a difficult to move blockage and require a complete replacement of the pipe.
Tree Root Intrusion
Plants and tree roots of all kinds will be drawn to the water in your pipes. These roots will naturally grow in the direction of this moisture. They can enter your drainage through the smallest of gaps, including cracks and loose connections. Once inside, the nutrients and water they find will cause them to grow extremely quickly.
Plant and tree roots, if given time to grow, can be some of the most difficult blockages to move. In many cases, it is quicker, easier and cheaper to simply replace the pipe.
