Banish Those Blocked Drains!
No one wants waste or unwanted material lying around their house or property. You dispose of trash in garbage bags or litter it away. Public sewers and drainages account for more than eighty per cent of waste disposal. Their drains take waste from washrooms, kitchens and surface water away from the property. Sewers or drains are either publically or privately maintained. Public sewers are maintained by the local water body, and a private company takes responsibility for the proper working of the sewerage till it meets the public sewerage. In case of private sewerages, the owner of the property is solely responsible for the drainage system. Connections, blocked drains or sewer defects – whatever it may be, the owner has to get them fixed. This also applies for when the defect is beneath other individuals’ land, for instance beneath the land of the neighbor. The owner is still responsible for the repairs and maintenance of the drainage pipe.
You often have blocked drains in your houses creating a lot of chaos. Water overflow, foul smell and blockage can seriously cause a lot of trouble. This can be taken care of by hiring drainage services and professionals.
In the case of blocked drains or defective sewerage, the other owner of the local authority’s environmental department takes care of the blockages and the connection repairs. The cost of the repair is recovered by the owner of the property.
There are ways to avoid blocked drains and defects by keeping a few do’s and don’ts in check. One must avoid disposal of unsuitable items such as fat oils, grease, etc. into the drains. These disposals solidify and cause smell. One must strictly avoid disposal of waste food, paints, cotton wool razor blades etc. through sewage pipes. Damage to the drainage system is also caused from building work. Whenever any building work takes place, make sure that the waste water pipes are kept separate from the main sewer line. If the construction requires change in the piping for the drainage or causes blocked drains, then one has to seek permission from the local council’s building control officer. You are required to notify the Building Control Department about any kind of damage or alteration in the drain pipes.
One must try not to dispose of unwanted materials into the drains. This causes blockage. In case any blockage or damage occurs, one can always call upon the drainage services. Let the professionals, like DIM Drains sort out the matter by utilising their drainage services. It’ll only cost you a few bucks and save you tons of trouble!
