Broken drain pipes can create havoc for property owners. Sewers back up in homes due to aging lines, root intrusion, calcification and ground movement from seismic activity, costing homeowners thousands of dollars in damage to their homes and landscaping, and thousands more in increased taxes due to crumbling underground infrastructure of municipalities.
In addition to the expense and inconvenience, backed up sewage in the home creates health risks such as contamination from mold and harmful bacteria. Blockages also cause sewers to overflow, spewing deadly waste into our streets, waterways and beaches. City governments pass on these ever-increasing water clean-up and treatment costs to you – the consumer. |
