Drain Clearance Tips

Drainage issues can be detrimental to any business, especially with ongoing issues such as blockages. We have worked on many drain clearance projects where specialist knowledge has been required to diagnose and resolve the issues.

However, there are things your business can do to prevent blockages and even after a blockage has occurred.

Our drain clearance advice

Fat traps

For those working in businesses which produce fat or food waste, fat traps can be used to prevent the liquid from entering the drainage system. For large scale food production this is often one of the major causes of drainage issues.

Once in the system the liquid turns into a solid and builds up on the sides of the drainage pipes.

Be sensible

If you don’t think it should be put into the drainage system – don’t put it there! Often avoiding drainage issues on a large scale can be prevented by using common sense. Have guidelines within the workplace to ensure employees are aware of what should be put into the drainage network.

Regular drainage maintenance

Often for businesses which create large amounts of waste, regular maintenance and checks on their drainage network can be the best solution for the issues they are experiencing. Cleaning and CCTV surveys can help to reduce the impact of blockages and ensure things run as smoothly as possible.

Speak to an expert

If you have tried the above advice and are still experiencing drainage issues, speak to a professional. By utilising technology such as drain cameras, an expert can diagnose the root of the problem and work to resolve the issues within the drainage network.
