Drains Plumbing STORM WATER AND SEWER DRAINS Is your sink, bath, shower or toilet draining slowly? You probably have a blocked drain. If more than one drain is blocking at the same time it may be more serious than a simple blockage. It may be your main sewer line! A blocked main sewer line can become expensive very quickly as it affects every drain in your home. If it’s your drains outside that aren’t doing their job and the water just never seems to drain away when it rains, you likely have a blocked storm water drain. When it rains, a blocked storm water drain can be extremely frustrating. It can potentially result in water damage to your property and liability for run off damaging your neighbours property. Signs of a Blocked Drain If you notice any of these signs contact a plumber immediately:
Slow drainage of sinks, bath, shower, toilets Bad smell in house Gurgling and bubbling water when you flush you toilet Foreign objects in toilet bowl Water level in toilet higher or lower than normal
