Drain Maintenance Cleaning

All drains and waste pipes require periodic maintenance and cleaning to prevent the accumulation of scale, silt and grease, or foreign objects reducing the bore of the pipe work. A reduced capacity or obstructed flow increases the likelihood of potential expensive blockages occurring.

There are three types of drainage systems

• Foul Water - This is used water from any building or premises. This includes water from toilets, baths, showers, washing machines, kitchen sinks, dishwashers and other items. This is often referred to as ‘grey’ water, effluent, soil water or waste water.
  
• Surface Water - This is water that has been drained directly from the ground, a pavement or a roof. Also referred to as ‘run off’.
  
• Effluent Drains - Trade effluent is any effluent (liquid waste) that is discharged from any premises which is being used for a trade or industry. Any liquid, with or without suspended particles, which is produced by any trade or industrial activity, carried out at a ‘trade premise’ is classed as trade effluent.

Studies have shown the application of disinfectants and biocides via aerosol or fogging can significantly reduce the number of pathogens when compared to manual surface cleaning alone. Physical symptoms of being ill can often lead to increased distribution of pathogens, with a highly contagious case like norovirus, speed is of the essence, rapid ULV fogging and disinfection can quickly break the chain and combat infection outbreak landing on surfaces and hard to reach places which can lead to further spreading of viruses and bacteria.

The airborne disinfectant micro-droplets are attracted to land underneath, on top of and on the sides of surfaces in the same way that pathogenic microbes do.

By using a ULV fogging machine, in addition to manual cleaning, disinfectant is more comprehensively delivered across a range of surfaces and materials including textiles, thus ensuring a higher efficacy of disinfection.
