What Is Drain Maintenance?

The term drain maintenance can cover a lot of different services from clearing blockages to repairing damage. That said, when we talk about drain maintenance we’re usually talking about anything we can do to get your system into its best possible condition.

Of course, the most important part of drain maintenance is just diagnosis. We need to assess whether there is a problem and which areas to look out for. Once we’ve found the problem using our state of the art camera system, we can then prescribe an appropriate solution.

When Do You Need Drain Maintenance?

Drain maintenance for London properties can vary a lot. For some properties - particularly those with older systems - it’s good to book in once every few years as standard practice just to check that there’s not something wrong. After all, damage that goes untreated can lead to knock-on effects, ultimately requiring more expensive repairs in the long run.

For modern builds, you can afford to be a little more reactive but if you’re experiencing a problem you’re not sure about, it’s still important to deal with it as soon as possible. You should also book in if you’ve just bought a new property and you’re unsure about the current state of your system. Doing so often helps to catch big problems before they have a chance to cause too much harm.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    How much does it cost to clear a drain in the UK?

    Drain jetting costs between £70 and £175 on average. Drain jetting is the most effective technique a professional drainage repair service provider in London can use. It thoroughly removes any obstructions, resulting in clear pipes and eliminating immediate drain issues. The process also removes other debris that’s building up along the length of the pipe, preventing further problems in future.

    Can a plumber fix blocked drains?

    While some plumbers will attempt to tackle a blocked drain, their expertise mainly lies with water coming into your home rather than going out of it. So a plumber can fix dripping taps, install a new sink or repair leaky pipes internally. But a drainage services company is better to resolve issues with drains and wastewater leaving your property.

    When should you call a plumber for a clogged drain?

    If your sink is blocked or your toilet is overflowing, you can call a plumber, but if it’s your drains that are clogged, emitting a bad smell or can’t be unclogged with a plunger, it’s time to call a local drainage service. They have the equipment and experience to resolve larger problems.

    What does a drainage company do?

    Drainage companies offer a variety of services, from the installation of drainage systems to homes and businesses to resolving problems with existing systems. Good drainage companies will use CCTV inspection to evaluate the state of existing pipes and can remove blockages, suggesting replacement or repairs to pipework when necessary.

    What are the types of drainage?

    A drainage system is a series of channels that carry excess water away from humans, animals, or plants. There are two main types in UK homes:

    • Surface drainage systems: including downspouts, gullies in your garden, and linear drains – carrying away excess rainwater.
    • Grey water systems: including your kitchen and bathroom wastewater from sinks, toilets, baths and showers.

    What is the importance of drainage?

    Drainage removes excess water away from the property. Rainwater is drained away to prevent standing water which can cause soil erosion and damage the fabric of your home. Grey water from kitchens and bathrooms is conducted into the main sewage system for cleaning and purifying. Without drainage, homes would flood or become contaminated with sewage.
