Why Drainage Maintenance Matters

Your property's drainage system works silently every day, carrying away wastewater and preventing flooding. Regular maintenance ensures this crucial system continues to function properly, preventing costly emergencies.

Monthly Maintenance Tasks

• Clear debris from external drain covers and gullies
• Pour boiling water down sinks to clear grease
• Check for slow drainage—early warning of blockages
• Inspect visible pipes for signs of leaks or corrosion

Seasonal Checks

Autumn

Clear fallen leaves from drain covers and gutters. Check downpipes are clear and directing water away from foundations.

Winter

Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing. Know where your stopcock is located in case of burst pipes.

Spring

Ideal time for a professional CCTV survey to identify any winter damage or root ingress before problems escalate.

Professional Maintenance

We recommend annual professional inspections for domestic properties and quarterly checks for commercial premises. Our PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) programs provide scheduled maintenance at fixed prices, giving you peace of mind and budget certainty.
