drainage and sewer system is one, if not the most critical, section in a home’s plumbing system. The drainage and sewer system includes all the plumbing components and installations that are involved in draining waste water and waste disposal safely from the home. As the name implies, the drainage and sewer system can be split into the actual drainage section and the sewer system section.

The drainage system includes all of the drainage pipes and the waste disposal installations. Whereas, the sewer system is mainly composed of the septic tank plus all the drainage pipes that run underground to link the tank to the home. A drainage and sewer system should always be clean and unclogged in order to ensure the proper disposal of all the waste water that is produced in the home. Below you can read on and learn how to properly keep the systems clean and how to unclog them in the event they become clogged in order to maintain an excellent and efficient home drainage and sewer system.

 Handling Clogs

One of the most common plumbing problems in any drainage and sewer system is when they become clogged. Clogging occurs when a section of the sewer system is blocked preventing the flow of waste water from the home to the septic tank. Clogging will usually happen in drainage pipes where something gets stuck inside the pipes thereby preventing waste water from flowing from one point to another.

Clogging can be caused by various reasons including the accumulation of grease and other insolvent impurities inside the drainage pipes. Breakages in drain pipes and pipe flow compression issues by vegetation cover and tree roots can also result in clogged drains. Clogs can be prevented by observing a strict waste disposal routine where all insolvent stuff is not dumped into the drainage and sewer system. However, when clogs do occur, you can try a few DIY hacks to clear the drains. One of the simplest ways of unclogging a sewer system is by using a hand plunger to suck debris from any drainage link, such as a toilet, shower or bathtub drain, or sink. If this does not work, then you may need to get in touch with a professional plumber for assistance.

 Regular Inspection

A plumbing system should always be subjected to regular inspections in order to avoid any possible nasty surprises later on down the road. Whether it is a drainage and sewer system inspection or inflow piping system inspection, these inspections should be done routinely.

When it is identified that there are areas that could use some upgrades or renovations, a professional plumber will recommend sound solutions that will alleviate the problems. Drainage pipes and / or the septic tank might need to be upgraded but you will not realize this until you hire a professional plumber to inspect the home’s plumbing system.

Timely Repairs

Timely repairs are critical when it comes to problems within a home’s plumbing system. You should never hesitate to reach out to a professional if you suspect that you have a faulty drainage and / or sewer system issue. In case of any drainage and / or sewer system issues, ensure that you hire a licensed plumber whom will be capable of handling all aspects of the plumbing renovations and repairs in a professional and timely manner. When it comes to the sewer system, you can not spare any expenses or waste any time to get the repairs done.
