Preventive maintenance is crucial for avoiding blocked drains and ensuring the longevity of your drainage system. By taking proactive steps, you can prevent common issues and maintain efficient drainage.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your drains clear and functioning properly. We recommend scheduling professional inspections and cleanings at least once a year. This helps identify potential problems early and prevents major blockages.

Recommended Tools and Products

Using the right tools and products can make a significant difference in maintaining your drains. Here are some recommendations:

• Drain Guards: Instal drain guards in sinks and showers to catch debris and prevent it from entering the pipes.
• Enzyme Cleaners: Use enzyme-based drain cleaners regularly to break down organic matter and keep your drains clear.
• Plungers: Keep a plunger handy to address minor blockages promptly.
• Drain Snakes: For more stubborn clogs, a drain snake can be effective in removing blockages.

Proper Disposal Practices

One of the most effective ways to prevent blocked drains is to be mindful of what you dispose of down the drain. Avoid flushing or pouring the following items:

• Grease and Oils: These can solidify and cause blockages.
• Food Scraps: Use a compost bin instead of disposing of food waste down the sink.
• Hair: Use a hair catcher in showers and bathtubs to prevent hair from entering the drain.
• Non-Biodegradable Items: Avoid flushing items like wet wipes, sanitary products, and cotton balls.

At 24/7 Drainage UK, we employ a range of advanced technologies to ensure efficient and effective drainage solutions. These technologies enhance our ability to diagnose, repair, and maintain drainage systems, providing superior service quality to our clients.

CCTV Drain Surveys

We use state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras to conduct thorough inspections of your drainage system. These cameras provide real-time footage, allowing us to identify blockages, cracks, and other issues with precision. This technology enables us to diagnose problems accurately and develop targeted solutions.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

High-pressure water jetting is a powerful method we use to clear blockages and clean drains. This technology involves using high-pressure water streams to remove debris, grease, and other obstructions from the pipes. It is highly effective and minimises the need for chemical cleaners, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining is a trenchless technology that allows us to repair damaged pipes without excavation. We insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, which hardens to form a new, durable pipe within the old one. This method is less disruptive and more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacement.

Robotic Cutting

For more complex blockages, we use robotic cutting technology. These robots are equipped with cutting tools that can remove tree roots, concrete, and other tough obstructions from the pipes. This technology ensures thorough and precise removal of blockages, restoring the full functionality of your drainage system.

Sonar Drain Tracing

Sonar drain tracing is used to map out the drainage system and locate hidden pipes. This technology uses sound waves to create a detailed map of the underground pipes, helping us identify any issues and plan effective repairs.
