Any problem with a home’s plumbing in Brighton is a problem, but like most tings, some problems are bigger than others. A sink that begins to drip can be an annoyance and perhaps a waste of water, but it is not the type of problem that demands immediate action, this is the type of thing that can wait until it’s convenient. This is not the case with a blocked drain; this really is a plumbing emergency and has to be corrected immediately.
There are actually two types of drain blockages, the main drain leading from the house to the sanitary sewer and the blockage of a drain leading from one of the household plumbing components such as a toilet or kitchen sink. If the blockage is just one fixture, in many cases it can be avoided for the time being by using another toilet or sink. This is not the case when the main drain is blocked, there is absolutely no place for any waste water to go and if any of the fixtures in the house are used there will be an overflow somewhere.
Those that specialize in plumbing in Brighton can certainly unblock any drain but before you call for the pros you may want to first confirm that it is genuinely a blocked main drain, there are ways to verify this suspicion:
Multiple blocked fixtures: If more than one fixture is backing up then this is a good indication that the problem is with the main drain. The fixtures that are most affected are the toilets but of course, other drains and fixtures can also be affected. The two primary places to check are the toilet and bath drain. The toilets have a direct path to the main drain and they are the largest pipe in the house. Any problem with the main drain will certainly be apparent here. The other candidate for inspection is the tub. The tub drain sits lower than the sink and will not drain at all.
As you inspect the fixtures you may run into strange reactions, if you flush the toilet and the main drain is blocked, prepare to see the flush water come up the bathtub drain as it is the lowest point in the house. If you run the tap in the bathroom sink, the water may rise in the toilet. These are all signs of a main drain blockage and it is best to call a specialist in plumbing in Brighton.
