Are you tired of dealing with clogged drains and foul odours in and outside your home? Maintaining your drains is crucial for a clean and hygienic home environment. That’s because neglecting your drains can lead to costly plumbing issues and even health hazards. But don’t worry, our drain maintenance advice will keep your system in tip-top shape.
Preventing Clogs
Clogs are a common problem in most households and can lead to slow drainage and foul odours. To prevent clogs, it is important to be mindful of what goes down your drains. Avoid pouring grease, oil, and coffee grounds down the drain, and dispose of waste properly. Additionally, using sink strainers can help prevent debris from entering your drain pipes. Get more information on how you can prevent blocked drains in this guide.
Avoiding foul odours
Foul odours emanating from your drains can be unpleasant and embarrassing. It’s the buildup of debris and the bacteria that break them down that cause these smells. To avoid and treat bad odours, you can try natural remedies like bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. These remedies are effective and eco-friendly, but sometimes you need professional help.

Addressing drainage issues early
Plumbing issues such as slow drainage and gurgling sounds should be addressed promptly to avoid major plumbing problems down the line. By identifying drainage issues early, you can save money and prevent hazards to your health and home. Sometimes your DIY drain maintenance solutions won’t seem to help. This is when a professional drain maintenance company will have the expertise to diagnose and treat your drainage issues for you.
Prevention is better than cure when it comes to drain maintenance
Like most aspects of life, preventing major issues from occurring in the first place is better than remedying them. Diagnostic and preventative drain maintenance solutions include low-tech solutions like flushing your drainage system with dish soap and boiling water regularly to dissolve fat. But actually getting a look at your drainage system with a CCTV drainage survey can help diagnose issues you can’t see or prevent, like corroded or cracked pipes, pests and tree root ingress. Find out more about why you need a CCTV drain survey and how much one might cost in our previous blogs.
