Drainage services are not just there to handle a blockage when it occurs. They can provide a range of support that will ensure your drains remain in good condition and function effectively at all times.
Business premises tend to have a bigger number of people using their facilities compared to an average domestic property and that can put pressure on the wastewater and sewer outlets nearby.
The first time that a commercial business will reach out to a drainage service is usually when there is a drain blockage. With more usage, drains can be put under constant pressure by everything from toilet paper to food waste.
A commercial drainage service will offer full cleaning including unblocking sinks and toilets, high-pressure water jetting, manual rodding and burst pipe repair.
It’s difficult for most businesses to know what is going on underground. If your business has regular problems with its drains, it’s important to choose a company that offers CCTV surveys. This means they put a camera through your drains and can spot any problem areas such as cracks or places where roots have broken through into the pipework which can then be repaired.
Especially with older commercial properties, there will be a time when your pipework needs to be repaired. This could involve digging up the surrounding area disrupting your business. Another solution is to find a commercial drainage company that offers drain lining services which are a less invasive way of strengthening your pipework.
When choosing any service, it’s important to look for the appropriate accreditations. For drainage systems, this generally means ensuring your service is a member of the National Association of Drainage Contractors or NADC.
Their role is to maintain and raise standards within the industry through various certifications, training and support. The NADC is a not-for-profit organisation and has over 300 members around the UK.
The first thing to do is to check out the company’s website online and find out how much experience they have of dealing with commercial drainage problems. You can tell a lot from a website from how clear it is to understand, what services are provided and where the company is based.
You should also check out reviews not just on the company website but other locations such as Google My Business , etc. Look for characteristics such as how responsive the company are and what types of services they have provided in the past.
