Routine Drainage Maintenance

Prevention is Better Than Cure

We service our boilers and MOT our cars, but we often forget about our drains until they stop working.

Routine maintenance is simply the practice of cleaning and checking your drainage system before a blockage occurs. It removes the gradual build-up of silt, grease, and scale, ensuring your pipes flow freely all year round.

In simple terms: We clean the pipes now so you don’t have an emergency later.

Why Drains Need Regular Care

Even if you are careful, your drains naturally collect debris over time.

  • Foul Drains (Toilets & Sinks): Build up scale, grease, food waste, and soap scum.
  • Surface Drains (Rainwater): Fill with leaves, mud, roof moss, and road grit.

If left unchecked, this build-up restricts the flow. Eventually, a heavy storm or a busy Christmas period pushes the system over the edge, leading to blocked toilets, flooding, or bad smells.

What Our Maintenance Includes

We tailor the service to your property, but a typical maintenance visit involves:

1. High-Pressure Water Jetting – We use our powerful van-mounted jetters (up to 4,000 PSI) to give your pipes a deep clean. This blasts away:

  • Fatbergs: Solidified grease from kitchen waste.
  • Scale: Hard water deposits that narrow the pipe.
  • Silt: Mud and sand sitting at the bottom of the drain.

2. Gully Cleaning – We lift the grates on your driveway or car park and vacuum out the leaves and sludge. This is vital for stopping floods during heavy rain.

3. The Health Check – While we are cleaning, we keep an eye out for trouble. We check manholes for damage and look for early signs of tree roots or cracks. If we spot something worrying, we will let you know so you can fix it before it becomes expensive.

Planned Maintenance Plans (PPM)

For our commercial and private road customers, we offer Pre-Planned Maintenance contracts. We can visit monthly, quarterly, or annually—whatever suits your site. We track the schedule so you don’t have to; we schedule a visit, do the job, and send you the report.

The Benefits to You

  • Save Money: A scheduled clean is far cheaper than having to close your business because of an emergency drainage issue.
  • Predictability: You can budget for maintenance rather than being hit with surprise repair bills.
  • Safety: Reduces the risk of slippery, flooded walkways in winter.
  • Peace of Mind: You know your system is ready to handle the British weather.

Stop waiting for a blockage. Keep your drains healthy with ASL.
