When it comes to handling heavy-duty jobs like cleaning commercial or industrial drains, a bottle of supermarket drain cleaner just won’t cut it. Even renting DIY plumbing equipment is likely to leave you feeling a tad frustrated.
For efficient commercial drain cleaning, you need the experts. Think high-powered hydro jets, CCTV cameras, and industrial-grade tools – not just a plunger and some elbow grease!
Who Needs Commercial Drain Cleaning?
Hiring a commercial drain cleaner is essential for many businesses.
- Office buildings: More people = more wear and tear on your drains. With heavy use, blockages can build up fast.
- High-rise apartments: Imagine the sheer volume of water (and other objects) flowing through these pipes daily!
- Restaurants and food manufacturers: Grease and food particles are the biggest culprits here – especially if they aren’t caught by a grease trap.
- Retail complexes: Large complexes mean larger pipes, which can lead to larger problems.
- Hospitals and aged care facilities: Sanitation blockages are an absolute no-no. Keeping these drains clear is critical for health and safety.
- Council facilities: Public restrooms and community centres require regular maintenance.
- Recreational facilities: Think gyms, sports grounds, and swimming pools. Yes, these heavily used drains need cleaning too!
What are the Common Issues with Commercial Drains?
Some of the most common problems we see with commercial drains include blockages from grease buildup (especially in restaurants), accumulated debris from heavy foot traffic or construction, and tree roots invading and cracking underground pipes.
Waste materials, like hygiene products, or other non-flushable foreign objects, often clog the plumbing system in high-use areas, causing major problems.
Heavy rain or storms can also overwhelm stormwater drains, blocking them with debris, mud, and leaves. This can lead to flooding within your commercial premises.
Without regular maintenance, these issues can lead to costly downtime and repairs.
Not Just About Fixing Blockages
Commercial plumbing systems are a different beast compared to residential plumbing. Larger buildings with more occupants mean more complex systems, often requiring larger pipes. This is why regular maintenance is key. A professional drain maintenance program can keep things running smoothly, preventing nasty surprises and avoiding downtime (and as you know, for any business – time is money).
But sometimes a simple clean isn’t enough. That’s when you need a permanent solution. The good news is, here at Nuflow Brisbane South we are the drain repair experts!
