One of the most common plumbing problems that homeowners in Australia face is overflowing drains. So, at some point you’ll have to deal with this issue.
It's an inconvenience and hassle to sort out, but you should do it immediately because it leaves an awful smell and poses a serious health risk.
If your toilet is not flushing or there is sewer or wastewater overflowing on your property, you probably have a blocked sewer. The most common causes for wastewater overflows and blocked sewers are blockages in the pipes.
Now, there are many things that can cause a sewage blockage, some more common than others.
The main culprit is foreign matter. This can include anything from:
Another cause of wastewater overflow and a blocked sewer is tree roots that grow into the drain. This is because the roots look for water and nutrients, so, if there are any cracks in the sewer drains, the roots will grow through the cracks which makes them bigger and the roots then causes a blockage.
Damaged pipes and collapsed sewer lines are also a common problem. This is often due to age and debris then enters the system through these cracks which causes a blockage and causes the sewage overflow into your home.
To prevent sewage blockages and overflows into your home, you’re required by law to have a correctly installed and maintained overflow relief gully or disconnector gully. It often happens, though, that these are not properly maintained and then can't act as an emergency release point for these blockages.
