Drain Maintenance

You may not think about your drains every day, but you do use them every day. That’s why drain maintenance is so important. At Express Drainage Surveys, we offer preventative drain maintenance across the UK to help make sure your drainage systems flow as they should, avoiding any nasty surprises that disrupt business operations or put your daily routine at home off balance.

All it takes is one clogged drain to create real problems in your property, and that could have knock-on effects. Our expert drain maintenance team takes all the hassle out of maintaining your drains and works to prevent any issues from arising in the first place.

We work with businesses to help ensure you don’t experience downtime and a loss of profit because of drainage issues, while also helping to give homeowners peace of mind too. If you’d like to book a drain maintenance appointment, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

What is drain maintenance?

Taking care of your pipes means saving headaches later down the line. While there is plenty you can do to avoid damaging or blocking them, only with professional drain maintenance can you have full confidence that your property has the full flow it needs.

When our team visits your premises, we’ll carry out a few common maintenance tasks depending on the type of drain. This includes:

Drain analysis and inspection
Drain cleaning
Drain unblocking
Grease trap emptying

Using our many years of experience, we have the foresight to see what kind of services your systems will need. We’ll create a maintenance schedule to suit your building. For example, in a hotel, with large quantities of wastewater for the drains to handle, regular maintenance every quarter can be the difference between happy and unhappy guests. Meanwhile, a small home may only need an annual appointment to ensure all drainage systems are functioning to their fullest.

What are the benefits of drain maintenance?

Having your drains maintained can have plenty of benefits, both for now and in the future, including:

Reduced pipe blockages: You’ll see fewer blockages over time thanks to regular cleaning – this means less disruption.
Reduction in bad odours: Drain cleaning means waste won’t be left to fester and create odours that seep into your property.
Save money on repairs: By paying for drain maintenance to spot signs of problems early, you save yourself the larger cost of drain repairs that are required in an emergency when things go wrong.
Extends pipe lifespan: Professional cleaning and the early detection of faults can mean your system will last for many decades to come.
Protects your property: A sudden drainage issue can create wider issues, with wastewater and flooding extremely damaging to properties structurally.

You should think of drain maintenance as an investment in your peace of mind, the condition of your property and the long-term stability of your business or home.

FAQs

How much does drain maintenance cost?

Scheduling drain maintenance can help you to manage your costs. However, we’re unable to provide a price online as drainage systems vary in terms of their size and complexity. Once you’ve given us a call, we’ll be happy to arrange an appointment to inspect your property. This will allow us to provide a quote for either one-off or regular maintenance – whichever suits you best.

Can I maintain my own drains?

Yes, to an extent. Maintaining your drains can be as simple as ensuring that you don’t put things down your drain that you shouldn’t or removing foliage and debris from around grates on a regular basis. However, DIY maintenance won’t provide the same level of depth as our service, since we’ll clean out the system and check for any potential faults that we think need attention before they get worse. We also have all the leading technology to perform a thorough service that store-bought equipment just can’t provide.

How often should I have my drains maintained?

Drain maintenance isn’t a one-size-fits-all service. Some businesses rely on their drains more than others due to heavy usage, while homeowners may not put quite so much strain on their system. For that reason, we can build a maintenance schedule to suit your property. Whether you’d like one-off, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual appointments, simply give us a call today.
