Commercial Drain Maintenance
COMMERCIAL DRAIN MAINTENANCE LONDON
If you are responsible for your drains but never give it a second thought, then it might be time to put a maintenance plan in place in an attempt to prevent overflowing blockages.
​
In modern day living, many things are flushed down our drainpipes such as non-disposable wipes, earbuds, nappies, clothing, solidified grease, etc. and together with the waste the system was designed to take, sooner or later, the accumulation of deposits will cause the dirty water to back up and overflow. In order to minimise this risk, regular maintenance in the form of high pressure water jetting can be carried out to ensure deposits are removed from the
drainage and the pipework is left clear and free flowing however we still advise that the above items are not disposed of in this manner.
WHAT BLOCKAGES OCCUR AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?
General debris
Non-disposable items, e.g. wipes, nappies, earbuds, clothing
Solidified grease and cooking fats
Scale
Rust
Cement intrusion
Building materials
Tree roots
​
Loose deposits can be removed by high-pressure water jetting, however, we have specialist Picote milling machinery to remove more stubborn materials such as concrete or hydro powered, equipment to cut away tree roots to be used in conjunction with the
jetting machines.
​
OTHER MAINTENANCE
​
Some drainage systems have anti-flood valves or marine grade steel rat blockers installed and it is advised that annual maintenance is carried out to ensure the device remains in a satisfactory working condition. This can be carried out by yourselves using a hose-pipe to clean the valve or alternatively we could attend and carry this out for you.
MAKING SURE YOUR DRAINS RUN AS SMOOTHLY AS YOUR BUSINESS DOES
As expert contractors, we will advise you on good and necessary maintenance to help prevent the clogs in your drainage system. These include avoiding things like; dumping food in the sink and flushing non-disposable wipes, nappies, earbuds, etc. down the toilet. Unwanted food and coffee should be kept for your rubbish collection and fat should cool and then put in a container for it to be thrown away.
