Living with a blocked drain or plumbing issues in your Eastbourne home can create unhealthy and hazardous conditions for your family. Drain blockages lead to unpleasant odours, bacteria growth, and even pest infestations, creating an environment that puts your health at risk.

Are Blocked Drains Affecting Your Health?

Living with a blocked drain can seriously impact your health and home environment. Here are some common signs your drains are causing health hazards:

• Unpleasant Odours – The buildup of waste, sewage gases, and bacteria creates foul smells that permeate your home. Inhaling these odours can cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness.

• Pests – Rodents, cockroaches, and other pests are attracted to the smell and moisture of clogged drains. These can spread disease and trigger allergies.

• Mould Growth – Backed-up sinks, tubs, and toilets enable mould to thrive. Exposure to mould spores can cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions.

• Standing Water – Clogged drains lead to standing water in your home, providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other insects.

• Fatigue and Illness – The constant odours, pests, and mould spore exposure can make you and your family feel run down and sick.

Don’t ignore these drain clog warning signs. Health hazards will only worsen if the underlying issue isn’t properly addressed.

How BlockBusters Protect You From Drain Hazards

We swiftly unclog blocked drains before sewage can back up using high-powered equipment to get your drains flowing freely again. After unblocking, we disinfect the drains and pipes to eliminate any lingering bacteria. 

If mould growth has occurred from the blocked drainage, we remediate the affected areas by removing the mould, treating it with biocides to kill it, and preventing future growth. We deter pests like rats and roaches that are attracted to infested drains to prevent the spread of diseases.

Our teams also identify areas prone to sewer gas buildup and improve ventilation to fresh air in your home. Thoroughly repairing any damaged drains and pipes prevents hazardous leaks and backups in the future. We also provide regular drain inspections and maintenance to keep the system clear and functioning safely at all times.

Illnesses Caused by Blocked Drains

Living with backed-up drains and sewage can make you and your family sick. Blocked drains become breeding grounds for dangerous bacteria, mould, and viruses that can cause the following illnesses:

• Gastroenteritis – Sewage backup allows gastroenteritis-causing viruses like norovirus, rotavirus, and hepatitis A to spread. Symptoms include diarrhoea, vomiting, cramps, and fever.
• Respiratory Infections – Mould spores from wet, blocked drains can trigger respiratory issues like chronic coughs, asthma attacks, and sinus infections.
• Skin Infections – Blocked drains harbours antibiotic-resistant bacteria like MRSA that can infect open wounds and cuts, causing redness, swelling, and pus.
• Pinworm Infections – Pinworm eggs in sewage can transfer to surfaces and cause extreme itchiness around sensitive areas of the body.
• Leptospirosis – Rat urine mixes with blocked drainage water, spreading Leptospirosis which causes fever, vomiting, and kidney failure.
