Sewer malfunctions are a common concern among homeowners. In our experience, some people procrastinate on sewer repairs because they don’t want to spend money on them or don’t realize how serious they can be. However, there are several reasons why you should get repairs done promptly. Here are just a few to consider.

Sewage Backup

If the sewage system is clogged and you don’t get repairs, it can and will get worse. Eventually, the sewage will start to back up through drains, causing a health hazard to the entire family. According to a survey by the American Society of Plumbing Engineers, about 14% of the national population has a plumbing-related issue every year. Many of these issues are simple clogs that can be fixed.

Property Damage

As you might imagine, sewage backup can cause problems throughout the entire home, resulting in significant water damage. Water damage creates a humid environment for mold to flourish, further damaging your property. It can also damage flooring, baseboards, and carpets. Unfortunately, this sort of damage can be as expensive to fix as it is dangerous to your health.

Horrible Smells

While this might not seem like the worst of your problems, in our experience, this issue can be unpleasant for many people. The smell of sewage wafting throughout your home or yard isn't something anyone wants to experience. Poor indoor air quality can impact your productivity and mood and even make it challenging to fall asleep at night. The bacteria from the sewage can slowly make their way into your air, gradually making your house more and more stressful to inhabit.

Feeling Anxious
