An overflowing toilet can be caused by many things but some common reasons are:
HEALTH AND WELLNESS ISSUES
A toilet overflow incident can pose great health and hygiene issue both in the short and long run if the water damage is left untreated for a long period of time:
Due to the moisture buildup on your home, there is a high likelihood that molds will grow immediately. Exposure to mold and mildews can cause serious respiratory issues, such as asthma, and allergies.
If your food, drinks, and toiletries touch the puddle caused by the toilet overflow water, there is a high chance that they are already contaminated with germs and bacteria. This will pose your family at great health risks.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
A toilet overflow can cause great property damage. Common areas that are damaged by water overflow include:
The damage of a toilet overflow will have the greatest effect on the floor since the water is going to fall downwards due to the gravitational pull. This will affect items located on the floor besides damaging and contaminating the floor itself.
If your toilet overflow water soaks into your walls it can lead to structural damage.
Water from the toilet overflow can be very dangerous as several electrical connections are located on the ceiling.
Your furniture, such as your sofa, bed, and dining table, can be affected by the damage caused by flooded water from the overflow.
Your TV, fridge, water heater, dishwasher, and other appliances can malfunction when they come in contact with a substantial amount of water.
Apart from the above-mentioned damages, there can be many other unforeseen damages such as damaging your closes in closets, documents, etc.
FINANCIAL COST
The damage does not end with just a water-flooded home. Once your property has been affected by water damage, you would have to repair or replace your damaged belongings. This can be a big financial burden and even more if the damage is not covered by your insurance. So the sooner you restore the better.
