Drain Maintenance Frequency: Domestic & Commercial

Routine drain maintenance is the key to avoiding costly repairs, emergencies, and business interruptions. The frequency of maintenance depends on the usage, type of property, and risk factors like grease production, tree roots, or hard water.

 

Domestic Properties

• Recommended Maintenance: Every 6-12months

• Service Scope: Visual inspection, light jetting, and CCTV survey (if issues are suspected)

• Common Issues: Hair, soap scum, food waste, scale buildup

​

Commercial Properties (e.g., Restaurants, Pubs, Cafés)

• Recommended Maintenance: Every 3–6 months, depending on kitchen volume

• Service Scope: Full drain inspection, de-scaling, grease removal, trap checks, and compliance reporting

• Common Issues: Grease build-up, food waste blockages, odor control, high-volume usage

​

Why Regular Maintenance Matters:

• Avoids emergency closures or service disruptions

• Reduces health and safety risks

• Ensures compliance with environmental and food safety regulations

• Saves money on large-scale repairs
