Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM) for Underground Drainage Systems

Why Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM) is Essential

 

Underground drainage systems are often out of sight and out of mind — until something goes wrong. Whether in commercial or domestic properties, neglecting routine inspection and maintenance of these systems can lead to serious and costly issues, including:

​

• Blocked drains

• Property flooding

• Structural damage

• Health and safety risks

• Business disruption

​

At Drain Genie Direct, we offer tailored Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM) packages to keep your underground drainage systems functioning optimally all year round.

 

What is Pre-Planned Maintenance?

Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM) is a scheduled, proactive service designed to keep your drainage system clean, clear, and compliant. Rather than waiting for problems to occur, PPM ensures issues are identified and resolved before they escalate.

​

PPM typically includes:

• Routine drain inspections (using CCTV where appropriate)

• Scheduled jetting and cleaning to remove build-up

• Gully, manhole, and channel clearing

• Detailed reporting on drainage system condition

• Priority response for PPM customers in emergencies

 

Why You Need PPM for Your Property

​

🏢 Commercial Properties

Businesses can’t afford downtime caused by blocked drains or flooding. PPM reduces the risk of:

• Disruptions to daily operations

• Health and safety violations

• Damage to goods or infrastructure

• Emergency call-out costs

​

🏠 Domestic Properties

Homeowners benefit from peace of mind and long-term savings. PPM helps avoid:

• Flooded gardens, basements, or driveways

• Foul odours and slow drainage

• Costly emergency repairs

• Insurance claim complications

 

The Consequences of Neglecting Drain Maintenance

Without a PPM schedule in place, underground drainage systems are vulnerable to:

• Blockages: Grease, debris, scale, and roots can build up over time, restricting flow and causing overflows.

• Flooding: Blocked or damaged drains can back up and lead to internal or external flooding, causing extensive damage.

• Structural Damage: Persistent leaks and water ingress can weaken foundations and compromise building integrity.

• Increased Costs: Reactive maintenance is typically far more expensive than proactive upkeep.
