Do Not Delay!
There are many dangers in delaying drainage repair and the longer you delay the repair, the more serious the damage can become to your home and its surroundings. Delaying the drain field repair, especially in the face of severe weather conditions, can result in, but is not limited to, the following issues:
Additional flooding
If you’ve noticed that your home has been experiencing flooding issues, then it’s likely that you have a damaged drain field. Drains can become damaged due to tree roots or large amounts of rainfall. Even if you don’t have flooding issues, your drain field can become damaged due to hard or sharp objects that get stuck in them or even the lack of maintenance. Whatever the cause of damage, be sure to get it fixed as soon as you notice the first signs of damage. Delaying can lead to further problems.
Additional seepage
In addition to the damage that flooding can cause, the additional water that backs up into the drain field can cause seepage issues. This water can seep into the walls or even under your home. Even if there are no visible leaks, you should call a drain field technician to inspect your drains once you notice that there’s something wrong with your drainage system. By doing so, you can find and address any minor leaks before they turn into major ones.
Further Issues
If you have an old home that was built before the 1970s, then it’s likely that your home has been experiencing issues with standing water and seepage coming from the drains in your basement. A drain repair specialist should be able to identify the cause of this and repair it as soon as possible. Doing so will prevent additional seepage from happening, avoiding additional flooding issues in your home.
