How Sewer Line Leaks Can Contaminate Groundwater
Sewer Line Leaks : Sewer lines are underground pipes that transport wastewater from homes and businesses to sewage treatment plants. They are susceptible to cracks, which may be due to rusting, root intrusion, or damage.
Groundwater Contamination : Groundwater is one of the most important sources of water for drinking, agricultural production, and industries. Whenever the sewer lines burst, spoiled sewage water finds its way through the soil into the water table.
Pathogens
Sewerage systems transport effluent-containing bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can result in many diseases, including typhoid fever, hepatitis, and cholera.
Chemicals
Apart from germs, sewage contains other chemicals that pollute water sources that pass through the sewerage systems. Some of these chemicals may comprise drugs, pesticides, detergents, and industrial effluents.
Environmental Impacts
Groundwater pollution also negatively impacts the environment. Water pollution affects aquatic animals, farmland, and the quality of the environment.
Fixing Sewer Line Blockages from Household Waste
Preventative Measures
Various measures can be taken to avoid sewer line blockages, one of which is to be very careful with what one flushes down the toilets. Do not flush anything other than toilet paper since other items, including wipes, paper towels, and cotton balls, may cause blockages.
Regular Maintenance
Sewer lines should not be blocked or damaged, and any problem should be addressed before it gets worse. This is done at least once every year by having a professional plumber come in and inspect the sewer lines with advanced tools.
Professional Assistance
Plumbers have the experience to get rid of a blockage and get to its root cause using the right tools. After identification, they can suggest where the solution is replacement or repair.
Long-Term Solutions
Instead of spending money on repairs repeatedly, look for long-term solutions. Plumbers focus on fixing the blockage and also identify what caused it. That way, you can avoid those problems in the future and have a well-functioning sewer system.
