Drain and sewage systems are things that property owners often overlook when looking into buying or when they are currently working on maintaining a location. It’s important to look at what you can do now rather than waiting until something goes wrong and fixing it afterwards.


Why It’s Essential To Look To The Future

Companies and homeowners are constantly being asked to form a good understanding of how much water they’re using and to regulate what they subject their drain systems to. The UK spends millions each year on fixing drain problems and recruiting specialists to tackle flooding.

The average cost of a simple blocked drain is about £150-£200, and that’s only if there’s no major block. Think about that cost on a larger scale, where a property with many more systems and square footage can become compromised. This is why preventative measures are necessary.

What Can You Do?

CCTV Survey- A CCTV survey helps you know what’s going on with the inner workings of your drain system. It’s a process where a professional would insert a camera inside of the drain system in order to see blockages and potential threats to the integrity of the system. These procedures are easily booked and carried out. See Bates Environmental Ltd’s CCTV procedure services here.

Get Advice- Request the advice of a professional service to tell you how to proceed with your drain maintenance and upkeep.

Implement Regulations- If you own a business and are responsible for your sewage and drain system on your property, make sure all that share your workspace are aware of the regulations involving your drain upkeep, as in what to and what not to do when using the bathroom and kitchen facilities.
