Lets check these blocked sewers today
One of the most difficult kinds of household emergencies is a blocked drain. They can occur in the most unexpected way. Nevertheless, the awful feature of blocked drains is that they can give out foul smells and lead to overflow of waste water into your home. In case of a business, a drain problem will have a greater effect since customers and staff may lose confidence, the result of which will be decreased sales and profitability.
Below are mentioned a few simple preventive measures that you can take to decrease the chances of a blocked drain caused due to a foreign object or a structural defect.
Ensure that the plughole is cleaned of hair that gather in it on a regular basis.
Keep small objects such as combs, medicine bottles and toilet rolls away from places where they could accidentally fall into the toilet.
Regularly flush the wash basin and bath or shower pipework with hot water and a disinfectant to clear soap residue and prevent build up over time.
Do not put away baby’s nappies, commercial wrappings, sanitary towels or similar large items down the drainpipe; they may clog it.
Instead of disposing the waste food scraps and cuttings down the drain they can rather be used as a compost.
In case any vegetable material does fall into the sink try removing it out of the plug hole and do not poke it down the drain as this could hamper the blockage making it tougher to remove.
Cooking fats congeal and solidify when they mix with cold water, so never pour them down the kitchen sink. In case you have no other choice make sure to dilute fats using emulsifiers ,hot water and detergents, before disposing down the drain. Run the water for a while after this, so that the the oil is completely flushed out and the pipes remain clear.
The chance of a drainage problem can also be reduced by carrying out some regular maintenance measures.
Check the house roof gutters and rain downpipes twice a year.
Exercise due caution when working at height and use a trowel to clear the debris and leaves that have been accumulated over the year.
Ensure easy access to the drain inspection covers and carry out timely checks by lifting them regularly to keep a smooth flow of water through the drains.
Make sure that garden matter, such as leaves or moss, are kept out of the outside drainage grids.
External drains must be flushed with hot water and disinfectant, just as you clean the internal drains.
Getting your drainage system checked regularly by a CCTV drain inspection system is a worry free option especially when you a running a business. CCTV inspections not only help to monitor the structural condition of drainage pipes but also provides early warnings in case of serious blockages.
