    Why it’s important to get your commercial drains serviced

    15th August 2022

    Commercial drainage is important to keep the workplace running smoothly. Having unusable toilets, sinks and in some cases, showers can be a problem for staff and owners. Whether you’re a school, office building, factory, or industrial estate, maintaining your drains is a must!

    The Benefits of Commercial Drainage

    Keeps Your Business Running

    Having regular maintenance and checks can keep your drains healthy. This allows you to avoid any unnecessary downtime from work, staff being able to use the workspace, and not having to shut your business for an unknown number of days, weeks, or even months, depending on the severity of the damage caused.

    Reduce Expenses

    Leaving your drains uncared for can lead to bigger problems down the line, costing you substantially more than having the scheduled maintenance checks. Some issues could cost you more money and time, meaning you’d have to either shut down or temporarily relocate for work.

    Safety for Staff

    Some effects of poor drainage care can cause major problems and can be hazardous to you and your workers' health, you may not even realise, and the safety of you and your staff is paramount. Even something you may deem as simple as a blockage could be damaging, the bad odours, the potential toxic gases, the bacteria build-up, and rodents it can attract. 

    Seeing A Problem Before It Worsens

    With our CCTV surveys, we can easily check your drainage pipes and find any ongoing or start of issues with your drains, this allows us to see what your drains look like without having to create an unsightly mess or dig any ground. 

    Schools and Other Commercial Spaces

    Drainage Services for Schools

    Schools are forced to deal with a high volume of waste from students, teachers, and visitors. This can be due to the amount of use they have during term time, whether from kitchens, art rooms, toilets, and canteens. Having drainage issues can become a huge problem and cause unwanted chaos. Keeping up with maintenance and having regular checks to avoid such issues can help schools focus on the important role of teaching and guiding our children, without the extra fuss.

    Commercial Spaces

    Working in a commercial space such as a busy office, industrial estate, or factory setting we understand that drains are the least of your problems and they may get accidentally neglected. Without the correct care or maintenance, your drains are more likely to lead to further problems such as blockages, flooding, unusable kitchens, toilets and showers, bad odours, and attracting rats, flies, or ants.

    Regular maintenance and servicing for your drains at the office will help keep you and your staff happy, stopping you from being forced to close the office for more significant or worse issues that may need fixing.
