It's not just your problem; it can potentially affect your neighbors too! Let's explore how a clogged sink in one apartment can impact others in the building comprehensively.

In many apartment buildings, plumbing systems are interconnected, with an estimated 80% of multi-unit buildings sharing a common sewer line (source: American Water Works Association).

This means that if one sink is severely clogged, it can lead to slow drainage or backups in other sinks or drains within the same building.

Apartments often share ventilation systems, which allow air to flow through the plumbing system. This is essential to prevent the buildup of gases and ensure proper drainage.
