Get Monsoon Ready with Tips for Maintaining Your Sewage System

The sewage system in the house is an important part of the hygiene and sanitation infrastructure. By draining out the wastewater and sewage, the system ensures that sanitation is at optimal levels. A clogged drainage pipe can damage the sewage system and in the long run even affect the construction of buildings. This can especially be a problem in the monsoons when the system also has to handle excess water from the rainfall. Here are a few handy measures you can make use of to prevent blockages in the sewage system in your building during the monsoons:

1.Avoid flushing waste items down the drain. This includes food, hair, toilet paper, diapers small plastic particles, etc. These particles can accumulate in the joints over time and clog the drains. Repeated flushing down and accumulation can damage the pipe system.  

2.If you haven’t already done so, install a sink trap along the pipes where wastewater exits from your home. This includes the kitchen, bathrooms and also the outdoor sinks. This will prevent the waste from going down the drains and clogging the system. 

3.Many people tend to pour a drain cleaner solution or powder down the drains in a bid to unclog clogged drains but this is a fruitless practice. The solution is ineffective against inorganic waste such as hair, plastics and metal. Additionally, some solutions can corrode the internal lining of the pipes, which can increase leaks.

4.Unless there is a garbage disposal system installed in your kitchen sink, do not rinse your plates off in the sink. The garbage disposal system is only sufficient for cleaning small food particles and cannot get rid of oil and grease, starch, etc. which will go down the pipe and over the long term cause a clog in the sewage system.

5.Make sure that the water pressure in your pipes is at the optimum levels. If you are unaware on how to regulate the same, call a plumber who will install spigots in the pipes to control the water pressure and prevent the pipes from cracking under the pressure.
