Blocked Drains in Pelsall: Causes and Dangers
Dangers of Blocked Drains
Clogged, malfunctioned and blocked drains can cause…
- Serious health issues
- Rats and vermin infestations attracting rats and other vermin to the area
- Property damage, including damp and even subsidence (where leaking drains cause the ground to become soft and sink which can cause cracks and damage to the building) which can be very expensive to repair compared to fixing the actual problem with the drains.
- Sewage leaks, floods and spillages which can carry over to other properties nearby, or next to yours in both urban and suburban areas
One of the first signs of drainage issues are blocked toilets as they are the main connection to the sewer outside so if you spot the water level rising, or any strange smells from toilets then it is a good idea to contact us to find out what the problem is.

Blocked Toilets Pelsall
A blocked toilet can be a massive inconvenience which needs to be resolved quickly. If you spot any issues, in particular if the water rises when you flush and then slowly returns back to normal, then this is a sign that the toilet is blocked. It could also mean it won’t be long before the water fills up and no longer recedes. If this happens then it is important not to flush again as the toilet will overflow and flood the bathroom.
In most circumstances, a toilet blockage is either in the toilet itself or in the soil pan connector. However, if this is not where the blockage is then it could be a drain blockage which will need to be looked at as soon as possible.
