Drainage back flow is risky for your health as it is unhygienic.







Drainage back flow is risky for your health as it is unhygienic.

If you are experiencing drainage backing up into your bathroom toilets, bath tubs, and showers, it is time to call your plumber. Decomposing matter in sewerage is extremely harmful to well being and has to be promptly sanitised by clearing the blockage and disinfecting the area.

Dilute a cup of bleaching agent with 5 Imperial gallons of water and start sanitising the toilet, even before the plumbers come in. Protect yourself from germs by donning a face mask, boots, gloves and full length trousers; ensure that ageing and young household members keep out – even pets should not be allowed in the affected area. Use clean warm water and soap to wash your hands once you have finished. The less water you have going down the drain the better in terms of preventing more drainage backing up whilst you wait for help.

Sewage backup can happen if something has blocked the waste line or if there is some clog between the toilet and shower in the pipework. Regardless of the reason, providing protection to your family and yourself from unsafe waste should come to the forefront.

Diarrhea, stomach ache, fever, chills and vomiting are signs of exposure to drainage. If you do experience any of these symptoms you should consult a doctor immediately.

With a mixture of one cup of bleaching agent to five gallons of water you should clean any items and surfaces that have been contaminated by the sewage. Not only should you throw away food that came in contact with the drainage, but also items than cannot be washed or cleaned (such as mattresses, stuffed animals, baby toys, and food cutting boards).

If the sewerage leakage was around the shower, you might want to use a snake, part of a plumbers toolkit. A plumbing snake that is a quarter inch thick and twenty five feet long will be the best choice. This size will be easier to operate through the pipe works. Sometimes a toilet in the bathroom is quite clear while the shower in the same area has gotten clogged. This happens because the toilet trap is installed about 6 inches above the flooring and the shower drain is installed at the same level as the flooring.

Call a professional plumber or sewers contractor if you are unable to clear the back up yourself. They will cleanse the sewage completely and also identify the cause of the stoppage, getting rid of it for you and giving you recommendations on how to avoid a similar situation. Be absolutely sure that you know what you are doing when you are attempting to fix your own plumbing, otherwise it’s always best to contact the professionals to do the chore.
