During this time of the deadly COVID-19, cleaning and clearing out your drains has become even more critical. Here’s why:
Why should I get my drain cleaned now?
If you have an unclean drain, you and the people living at your home are at a greater risk of catching diseases like malaria, respiratory illnesses, and nervous system issues. These may harm your immune system and make you more susceptible to the novel coronavirus.
Other than this, we learned during the SARS epidemic that contaminated air could travel through dried-out drainage pipes and lead to a greater spread of the disease. Since researchers are still getting new information about the novel coronavirus, it’s safe to assume that this virus may be capable of doing the same.
Hence, you must ensure your safety by getting your drains cleaned promptly. If you want to maintain a recommended safe distance from your possibly contaminated drain, here’s what you should do:
