Drains Cleaning Service
All drains and waste pipes require periodic drain maintenance and cleaning to prevent the accumulation of scale, silt and grease or debris that can reduce the flow of the pipe. Having a reduced capacity within your drainage system increases the likelihood of expensive blockages occurring, with the potential to cause severe problems from leaks and pipe ruptures. Enforcing a high standard of cleanliness to maintain the standards of your drains will ensure they continue to be fit for purpose.

Why do I need a Drains Cleaning and Maintenance Service?
Problems with drainage systems can often be an underlying sign of a breakdown in the pipe or network left by an unmaintained drain. The effects can impact not only the functionality of your drain but can cause a whole host of problems. For example, a poorly maintained system can create a clogged drain, which can cause strong odours to form and can be off-putting to customers within your commercial property and negatively affect your reputation. Also, leakages in the pipes from wastewater having no place to go can directly impact the pipe work's structural stability, causing damage which can lead to expensive repairs.
As experienced drain cleaning specialists, we have seen it all, but one of the leading causes of drain problems can result from flushing or pouring products unsuitable for drains. It only takes a small amount of the wrong item to go down the pipe to cause a serious blockage.
Hair, debris, or residue soap scum gathers together as it flows down from bathroom drains and shower drain.
Clogs by flushing away a range of inappropriate and inorganic waste, backing-up toilets and sewage systems. If in doubt, only flush the three Ps, pees, poos and toilet paper.
The accumulation of organic matter in kitchen drains as the result of by-products of fats, oils and grease (FOG) can combine to become solid, immovable objects.
Biological Dosing Service: Commercial Drain Maintenance Solution
Effectively clearing the residue of fats, oils and greases (FOGs) from your kitchen drains and grease traps traditionally involve the use of high pressure water jetting and rodding devices to unblock the pipes but this can cause more harm than good. While these are very effective, repeated use could lead to structural damage and cause disruption to your business operations. Both options also do not provide round-the-clock protection against blockages. A preventative maintenance service however stops FOGs and other contaminants from accumulating in your pipework.
Rentokil Specialist Hygiene Biological Dosing Service
Rentokil Specialist Hygiene’s biological dosing service continually feeds your commercial kitchen drains and grease traps with a biological solution of harmless bacteria and enzymes, breaking down and dissolving contaminants in your pipework, preventing build-up and blockage problems from occurring. Our BioDosing service is designed to reduce the use of traditional drain cleaner techniques and extend the service life of the drain and/or grease trap.
Regular dosing ensures that the correct microbiological balance is always maintained within the drainage system. Operating as an automatic safeguard against blockages, the battery-operated control unit requires no wiring and can be programmed to match your routine. The interval dosing schedule can be increased during peak times to provide optimised protection.
Following installation, regular planned service visits are carried out to check the condition of the drainage system, top up the fluid and ensure the dosing system is operating effectively.
How to maintain your drains
Maintaining the condition and stability of your drainage system should form part of your regular maintenance cleaning regime, preventing build-up and blockages from forming. Prevention is better than cure in many instances, so here are our top four tips to maintain your drains:
-
Pouring contaminants into a container
Fats, oils and grease (FOG) are one of the biggest contributors to a blocked drain. When hot, FOG can easily enter your drainage system but solidifies, creating a clog in your pipes once cooled. As a result, they can build up and directly impact waste waterways and treatment plants. Disposing of your containment correctly and pouring only appropriate items down your sinks and drains can prevent any damage.
-
Using drain guards
A drain guard can easily be fitted over plug holes and forms a protective barrier to collect debris to reduce the amount of waste that flows down pipes. They are multipurpose, suitable for kitchens to collect remaining food waste and showers to catch hair and debris.
-
Boiling water down drains
Maintain a healthy drain by pouring hot water regularly. Flush hot water down your drains allows any oils or build-up to efficiently move down drains rather than build up within the pipes, which can make drains clog and block.
-
Identifying when there is a problem
A problem with your drainage system may not always be obvious, but taking time to inspect your drain to ensure they are working properly can make a difference.
- Is water gurgling or taking longer to flow down the drain than before?
- Have you noticed any odours coming from the pipe?
- Have you noticed any signs of leakages?
If yes, these can be telltale signs of an issue forming in your drains.
- Is water gurgling or taking longer to flow down the drain than before?
