Preparing commercial drainage systems for winter
The winter months can bring adverse weather conditions and a range of other elements which impact drainage networks. To avoid ongoing problems which cause downtime or environmental damage, we recommend having a preparation and maintenance plan in place for your drainage system.
There are also some things you can do to prevent damage to the drainage network…
Limit waste being poured into drain
One of the most common issues our drain experts experience is drainage being overloaded with different waste including oils, fats, and grease. These build up overtime and can cause large blockages such as fatbergs. To prevent damaging the drainage network we recommend limiting the waste being put into the drain and instead disposing of this in a more environmentally friendly way.
Particularly around the festive season we see a huge increase in drain blockages which is caused by cooking oils and fats being put into the drainage network.
Regular maintenance and cleaning
Having regular maintenance and cleaning carried out on your drainage network can help to reduce the impact of the winter weather and high demand on the system. Our drainage specialists work with a range of clients on their drainage maintenance and cleaning requirements, ensuring the system remains flowing and potential problems are minimised where possible.
CCTV drain surveys if experiencing ongoing drainage issues
If you begin to experience problems within the drainage network, we recommend commissioning a CCTV drain survey. Using high quality drain cameras pictures and videos can be taken of the inner workings of the drainage network, helping to diagnose any ongoing drainage issues.
We recommend CCTV drain surveys as they aren’t invasive and offer a solution for diagnosing complex drainage issues without having to enter the network.
