What Happens When Drain Clogs Cause Bigger Plumbing Problems?

Drain clogs are a pain to deal with. When you add on the repercussions of persistent drain clogs, you can really have a major plumbing headache on your hands. The good news is, our team is here to help no matter how big or small your plumbing issue is.

Just give our team a call to schedule your drain repair in De Pere and stay ahead of major problems. After all, when you take care of your plumbing system all along, you can largely prevent plumbing issues that might otherwise be caused by drain clogs.

Low Water Pressure

Clogs can cause low water pressure in your home. It’s easy to think of clogs that happen because of things going down your drains leading away from your home. But, it is still possible to develop drain clogs in the lines that come into your home, too. 

If you notice that you have low water pressure in a particular room, a clog leading into your house may be to blame. Our team can often complete a video pipe inspection to find the exact location of the clog and take a look at what is causing it. 

This helps us to pinpoint where we need to be to access the line and make the repair with as little damage as possible. Keep in mind that if you have low water pressure across your entire home, this is a major red flag. You may have a more serious clog in the main water line or other damage to the line that is leading to low water pressure.

Backups

Clogs that happen in the drains if you wash sinks and showers can cause backups. Water may drain more slowly leading away from your sinks and tubs. This may not seem like a huge deal as long as the water is still going down, but these backups can allow bacteria from the sewage system to waft up into your home, making it more likely that you or someone in your family get sick. 

Plus, eventually these backups will get bad enough that clogs are completely blocking the drain. We know it can be tempting to stop at your local store and pick up a chemical drain cleaner, but please give our team a call instead. We can break down tough clogs gently without leaving any damage behind. Drain cleaning chemicals are well-known for being so abrasive that they damage your pipes along with breaking down tough clogs.

Deterioration 

And speaking of pipes being damaged, even clogs themselves can lead to pipe deterioration. At the first hint that you may have a drain clog, you need to schedule service to address it. Otherwise, the clog will just get worse as time goes by. These clogs can deteriorate the surrounding pipe material until it is corroded and needs to be completely replaced.
