High pressure within your drain can often result in cracks or leaks along your drainage pipes both externally and internally. Leaking is one of the main causes of mould build-up, damp and immense structural damage for various properties due to flooding.

You may want to report these issues to local plumbing experts or services, especially if you live or work in a much older building, as they are far more vulnerable to damage from dirty wastewater leaking. Experts will carry out complete assessments on your drains and a survey to identify all the problems.

Poor drainage systems often mean your household or property waste is not removed effectively. Poor drainage results in various blockages that enable the wastewater, food waste, grease, and debris to flow freely through your pipes and tanks.

Waste will eventually fester inside your piping or septic tanks and internally resurge. Water resurgence provides unpleasant smells and living conditions, with multiple health risks and bad odours. 

A long-term effect resulting from all of the above is structural damage to your or neighbouring properties. Leaks and water resurgence can cause significant property damage that will be incredibly expensive to repair.

It's best to get these problems solved as soon as you detect them as services and repairs will be much cheaper that way. Structural harm could be detrimental, not only to your bank account but to the safety of your household members and neighbours. 

Blocked pipes with stagnant water can often be a bacterial breeding ground and result in several waterborne health issues that spread quickly. 

Foul smells are a relatively common long-term effect of blocked drains; they can compromise your household's quality of life. Even if you become 'nose blind,' the smell can still be prominent to guests visiting your home, which isn't the most attractive feature.

Over long periods these scents can pollute the atmosphere causing irritability, poor sleep, stress and anxiety and sometimes headaches. Plumbers may perform drain cleaning with quality water jets to free the debris and waste from your system. 

E-Coli is another health risk one can contract from blocked drains and the use of an unclean water supply. There are numerous symptoms, including stomach cramps, diarrhoea, fevers and potential liver damage. 

Encephalitis is a viral disease caused by contact with mosquito eggs resulting in significant inflammation. There are various severe symptoms of the disease: convulsions, mild fevers, and paralysis. 

We'll disease often transmitted through rat's urine. Blocked drains are attractive areas for rats as they love to be surrounded by water and gorge on food debris. The disease manifests itself as an infection with various flu-like symptoms; it can sometimes lead to internal bleeding and organ failure in severe cases. 

Blocked drains carry an accumulation of bacteria exposed in the air. The microbes that scientists have found within the harmful bacteria tend to affect those with airborne allergies and can cause issues for those with asthma. It can also cause many eyes, nose and throat infections and flare up hay fever. 

It is incredibly significant for every household to ensure their sewage system is not blocked and that you have a clean water supply as contaminated water can often cause skin irritation and inflammation, resulting in flares of eczema. 

The most prominent bacteria researchers have found in numerous areas, such as drains and sewage systems, is Helicobacter Pylori. Such hazardous bacteria are responsible for infecting people with peptic ulcer disease through contamination.

The disease is a common medical condition where sores and ulcers begin to grow on a person's stomach or small intestine lining. Its primary symptoms include difficulty breathing, blood in your stool, dizziness and frequent abdominal pain. 

Typhoid is another disease that one can catch from experiencing a blocked drain. Research implies that children are far more prone to typhoid infection than adults.

There are several symptoms of the harmful disease, including constipation, skin rashes on the stomach or chest, sore throats and headaches. The most apparent cause of typhoid is improper sewage disposal. 

A bacteria named campylobacter causes this harmful and wildly infectious disease. Some of the key symptoms of this disease include fevers, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, fatigue and nausea.

You can contract this disease through various means, including drinking contaminated water, handling infected animals, or touching human waste.
