Beyond the apparent annoyance and inconvenience, clogged drains can also bring about various problems that can result in further damage and even more costly repairs. Read on as A.M. Plumbing & Rooter shares the consequences of neglecting clogged drains, highlighting why drain cleaning in Temecula, CA should be part of your priority list.

Unpleasant and Stubborn Odors Around the Home

When your drain becomes clogged, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. As organic matter accumulates, it decomposes and releases foul odors that can permeate your living space. And no amount of air freshener can cover up the smell – the best solution is to call for a professional who can perform drain snaking or other specialized techniques to address the source of the problem.

Sewer Backups

An obstruction in the main sewer line can cause wastewater, sewage, and other debris to flow back into your drains and toilets. Sewer backups are a serious health hazard, as the contaminated water can contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites that carry diseases.

Water Damage and Mold Growth

A clogged drain obstructs water flow, forcing it to find alternative paths. This can lead to leaks or overflows, resulting in water damage to your walls, floors, and other structural components. Excess moisture also creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive, which can cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues. If left unchecked, mold growth can spread throughout your home, requiring costly remediation and repairs.

It’s always best to never ignore a problematic drain in your home. A.M. Plumbing & Rooter offers affordable and efficient drain cleaning services that ensure clogs and blockages are resolved before they get the chance to cause larger issues. Contact us today to request a service visit.
