Quick Summary
Clogged drains can cause sinks to overflow, toilets to back up, and sewer lines to leak or burst if buildup is not addressed.
Poor drainage creates both indoor and outdoor hazards including contaminated water flooding, soil erosion from standing water, and risks from toxic mold, bacteria, and insect breeding grounds.
Regular drain cleaning prevents expensive repairs and protects household health by eliminating these water flow and contamination issues.
