The Dos and Don’ts of Drain Maintenance

Do install a drain filter or trap. They’re a quick, easy and cheap way of preventing blocked drains, which in serious cases can lead to the need for full-fledged drain repairs. These are available at most DIY shops around Warlingham, and will catch large items like hair or food so you can dispose of them in the rubbish. Another benefit, although less tied to drain maintenance, is that they’ll catch things like watches or rings which accidentally slip off while doing the washing up, or taking a shower etc.

Don’t rely on strong chemical drain cleaners. While acceptable for dealing with mildly blocked drains from time to time, recurring blockages signal a more serious issue that need to be dealt with by drain repairs / drain maintenance specialists, such as our team (active in and around Warlingham). Furthermore, these chemical cleaners can damage your drain lining over time, causing serious issues that are expensive to put right.

Do act quickly when suspecting a rodent in/on your property. While they might not pose an immediate, major nuisance – one rat usually means more will be coming! If they’re getting in via your drain system, call in our team to conduct CCTV drain surveys and to cap off pipes exiting your property. We can locate any cracks or gaps they might be squeezing through, and patch them via our CCTV drain repairs service.

Don’t purchase an old property without surveying its drains. It’s an exciting time, but many older Warlingham properties have antiquated drain systems that are a disaster waiting to happen; you move in and everything is going a-ok, then you’re hit with constantly occurring blocked drains and other issues that require significant drain repairs. Instead, have us in first to carry out the aforementioned CCTV drain surveys, so we can quickly and remotely inspect your system and see what kind of health it’s in.

Do call Drains Ahead if you’re in need of tanker services. But what do we mean by tanker services? Anything that requires a specialist vehicle that vacuum seals large contents of liquid waste to allow for transportation and responsible disposal. This includes gully cleaning and emptying, as well as interceptor and pump station cleaning.
