Drain Maintenance FAQs

Common questions about drain maintenance

How often should drains be maintained?

For most homes an annual drain check and clean is enough. For busy family homes, properties with a history of blockages or commercial kitchens we recommend every six months. We can advise on the right schedule for your property.

What does drain maintenance involve?

We inspect all accessible traps and waste pipes, remove and clean traps that need it, flush waste pipes with clean water, check drainage speed at each outlet and clear external gullies and grids.

Can regular maintenance prevent blockages?

Yes. Most blockages build up over time from gradual accumulation of debris. Regular drain cleaning removes the build up before it becomes a blockage. Prevention is far cheaper than an emergency call out.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

We can arrange scheduled maintenance visits at your preferred frequency. This suits landlords, commercial kitchens, restaurants, takeaways and businesses that need reliable drainage.

Will you remind me when maintenance is due?

Yes. If you are on a scheduled maintenance plan we will contact you when your next visit is due to arrange a convenient time.

What if you find a problem during maintenance?

If we find a cracked trap, damaged waste pipe, poor gradient or other issue we will tell you and give a price to repair it. Simple fixes like replacing a trap or seal we can often do during the same visit.
