    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.

    I found this company vie the internet, so had no prior knowledge or reference. The project manager visited on time and I found his ideas and plans very credible. We did a deal and all worked out exactly as the company described, including cost and timing. I have no complaints, and am very satisfied and I would highly recommend this company. for such work.

    Loo's were backing up so contacted Cotswold Drainage at 12 noon on a Saturday via WhatsApp which was listed on their website. They responded within 60 seconds and Adrian was at our house by 3pm, quickly assessed our underground drains layout and unblocked it in less than 15 minutes. To make sure everything was 100%, he got us to flush all loos to ensure water was flowing correctly and finished off with a camera up the drains to check everything was totally clear. A very efficient and thorough service and they even guarantee the work for six months. Highly recommended. Thank you.

    This company carried out some rather difficult works inside a treatment plant for me. There was a longer delay than I expected for the parts but they kept me informed at all times. They carried out the work exactly as planned and on time as they agreed, to the exact price quoted. It was terrible weather and the two men working on site still got the job done and were positive and hard working all the way through. I am impressed with Cotswold Drainage and will continue to use them in the future. They are friendly, realistic, not the cheapest quote I'd had, but certainly honest and knowledgeable people. I don't mind paying slightly more for that level of service. It was stress free and good value in the long run. So when you look at multiple quotes, I'd say consider them above others due to their knowledge, honesty and workmanship.
