    Why is it so important to service your drains?

    22nd March 2022

    As often is the case with drains and plumbing, it’s out of sight and out of mind. This can often allow issues to build up and not be addressed when they are small and insignificant. It’s also important to have your drains regularly maintained to ensure there are no issues in the system.

    This is especially the case with commercial properties, such as schools, factories, or offices. These draining and plumbing systems are under greater strain with a larger number of people. Not forgetting any large-scale work that needs to be undertaken will be costly but could also impact the day-to-day running.

    Prevents large problems 

    If a drain becomes slow there is no telling what issues that could lead to. With regular cleaning and maintenance, you can stop these issues from growing and causing a greater number of headaches.

    Minimize unruly smells

    The one thing no one likes to smell is drains. It is never a nice smell and once you can smell it, it’s hard to stop it. This can cause great discomfort in your home, where you just want to relax after a long day of work. Or create an unwelcoming environment in your office or school.

    Save Money 

    An often-overlooked benefit of regular drain maintenance is that it can help you save money in the long run. Not only can it reduce large-scale issues building up, but it minimizes the risk of needing to replace your drains or have them lined. There is also the external damage a leak may cause that would cause extra stress and cost.

    Increase Lifespan 

    Regular cleaning and maintenance for your property can significantly extend the lifespan of your system. Reducing stresses and strains will help your system work as intended and not need to be replaced sooner than needed.

    Luke and his colleague were efficient, friendly and very professional. They arrived on time, kept me well informed and were just brilliant all round. I'd previously used a well known, national company and the contrast was remarkable. The previous company provided me with very little information, they refused to guarantee their work because a manhole was covered with a slab and once the blockage was cleared they left. Cotswold Drainage guaranteed their work and cleared the underlying problem, rather than the symptom. An all round excellent company to deal with.

    A great, straightforward service, thank you! Customer service is excellent - there was a problem with the date we originally booked, but it was quickly resolved by Richard, and he was very apologetic. The engineer who came out was Adrian. He was on time, called ahead of arrival as requested, and was very polite. Did a great job. Thanks guys!

    I was impressed not only by the speed and professionalism of the work done to install a new septic tank, but by the considerate friendliness of those who carried it out and of those conducting correspondence about the job.

    From the telephonist to the operative, Cotswold Drainage was helpful, flexible, and professional in its work. It arrived on time and went out of its way to show excellent camera footage of the drains.
