Drain Maintenance Program | Rentokil Specialist Hygiene

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.

Rentokil Specialist Hygiene provides a preventative drain maintenance program that helps reduce the possibility of disruptive and expensive blockages occurring to any of your drainage systems. This ensures your pipe work is consistently operating at maximum efficiency.

Rentokil’s service uses high pressure water jetting to:

• Remove soft silt from surface water drains
• Clear hard solid-set substances such as scale
• Effectively clear blockages in drains, sewers and stack pipes

Rentokil Specialist Hygiene offer further drain preservation services that help extend the life of your drainage. These include CCTV examination of your pipe work enabling us to highlight any defective or damaged section of pipe work which could cause issues if not rectified, and Gas detection which permits us to identify combustible poisonous gases, such as methane and hydrogen sulphide.
