A plumbing, Drainage problem

Use the right plumber.

What are drains? Drains are pipes that are designed to safely remove waste water/facies from homes. So why do so many people give very little thought into who designs and installs this tremendously important part of their home.

Attached to this Blog is a video which is a perfect example of incorrectly installed drainage.

An incorrectly installed drain can cause blocking drains, smelly drains, can encourage the growth of infectious deceases, Like Campylobacteriosis, Typhoid,  Peptic ulcer disease, Legionella. And worst of all an after hours emergency plumbing call out.

Blocking drains are one of the leading causes of emergency plumbing call outs, which can be costly. If you find your self in this situation- restrain from using the amenities. Once the water resides a little and you really need to use the toilet, do so.
