When debris builds up inside the drainage pipes the results can be disastrous for home owners. It can result in dirty water backing up into sinks, baths and toilets, rather than flowing away through the drain pipes. General maintenance and inspection of pipework is inexpensive and prevents unpleasant surprises from occurring.
