Rentokil Brunei: Common drainage problems in Brunei
Drainage problems have always been an ongoing issue be it in a residential, commercial or industrial environment. While most problems are minor enough to ignore or live with it, drainage issues can escalate to major reconstruction and investment.
Drainage problems often start with signs of breakdown such as seeing the kitchen sink will not drain. And this will happen more frequently.
Why you should worry about drainage problems
A blockage can cause structural damages. This can lead to costly repairs, operational disruptions such as temporary closure or diversion, and environment unpleasantness such as floods and sewage spills of foul odour.
More importantly, protecting brand reputation should remain as top priority for all businesses.
Here are top common drainage issues
Blockages
Slow draining sinks, clogged drains, and toilet bowls with poor draining functions are some signs of blocked drainage. They are largely caused by coffee grounds, hair, tissues, fat and other oil residues that are flushed down inappropriately.
Quick fixes such as downing hot water or liquid cleaning solutions, and applying pressure and suction with a plunger can provide temporary relief. However, escalated complications should be corrected by professional drainage companies.
Root Intrusions
In rare instances, tree roots surrounding water lines may burrow deep into the ground and hit the drainage pipelines. They often penetrate through the joints, puncturing holes into the pipework thus causing blockages that may lead to serious problems.
Implication: Wastewater and foul odour will seep out, further trapping debris such as hair, tissue papers and fats, putting the pipes at risk from bursting.
All drains and waste pipes require periodic maintenance and cleaning to prevent the accumulation of scale, silt and grease or debris that can reduce the bore of the pipe. Having a reduced capacity within your drainage system increases the likelihood of expensive blockages occurring, with the potential to cause serious problems from leaks and pipe ruptures.
