Common Drainage Emergencies to Watch Out For
Here are just some of the problems weâre called out to fix regularly:
- Blocked Drains: These can cause sinks, toilets, or showers to back up, often leading to bad smells, slow drainage, and potential flooding if not cleared quickly.
- Burst Water Pipes: A burst pipe can release large amounts of water suddenly, damaging flooring, plaster, and furniture, and requiring urgent repair.
- Cracked or Leaking Pipes: Often hidden behind walls or under floors, these can go unnoticed until damp, mould, or water stains appear, indicating a slow but damaging leak.
- Frozen Pipes: In cold weather, water inside pipes can freeze and expand, increasing pressure and often resulting in cracks or bursts once the ice thaws.
- Blocked Sewer Lines: A serious issue where waste cannot drain away properly, often causing unpleasant smells, slow drains, and even raw sewage backing up into the property.
- Leaking Water Mains Pipes: These leaks in the main supply line can cause pressure loss, water pooling, and higher bills, and require prompt attention to prevent wider damage.
- Saniflo System Issue: If the macerator or pump fails, waste canât be moved away properly, leading to blockages, leaks, or foul smells.
Protecting Your Property and Tenants
Delaying action on a plumbing or drainage emergency can quickly escalate into a costly and disruptive situation. Water backing up from blocked or damaged pipes can cause significant property damage, including soaked carpets, warped flooring, and structural issues from prolonged dampness. Health and safety risks also arise, as stagnant water and sewage can spread bacteria, mould, and even attract pests.
Tenants faced with foul smells, unusable facilities, or visible damage may become dissatisfied, which can lead to complaints, rent reductions, or even lost tenancies. On top of that, minor issues left unresolved often turn into major repairs, increasing both the expense and downtime.
