Beat the Summer Stink: Keep Your Business Fresh with Professional Drain Maintenance
Remember, drain issues don't stick to business hours
Summer's approaching, and with rising temperatures comes an unwelcome guest for many businesses – unpleasant drain odours.
Nothing turns customers away faster than mysterious smells wafting from your drains. But don't worry – we're here to help you understand why this happens and how to keep your business smelling fresh.
Why Do Drains Smell Worse in Summer?
It's not your imagination – drain odours really do intensify during warmer months.
When temperatures rise, bacteria thrive and organic matter decomposes faster in your drainage system.
This natural process creates those unwanted odours that can impact your business's atmosphere and reputation.
Warning Signs to Watch For:
- Gurgling sounds from drains
- Slow-draining sinks or toilets
- Unpleasant odours, particularly during hot days
- Water backing up in multiple fixtures
Real-World Impact
Recently, we responded to an emergency at a Brentwood school where blocked drains were causing serious issues in their kitchen area.
Our team quickly resolved the situation, allowing them to resume feeding 300+ pupils. This case perfectly illustrates how crucial prompt drain maintenance is, especially in commercial settings where many people rely on your facilities.
Professional Solutions That Work
At Commercial Drainage Services Essex Ltd, we offer comprehensive solutions to keep your drains flowing freely and odour-free:
High-Pressure Water Jetting
This powerful cleaning method blasts away built-up debris and grease that regular cleaning can't touch. It's particularly effective for commercial kitchens and food service areas where grease build-up is common.
Professional Drain Unblocking
Our experienced engineers use specialised equipment to clear even the most stubborn blockages, preventing backup and reducing odour-causing buildup.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Sometimes the problem isn't visible from the surface. Our CCTV surveys help identify hidden issues before they become major problems.
Preventative Tips for Business Owners
- Schedule regular maintenance checks, especially before peak summer months
- Install drain guards to catch debris before it causes blockages
- Keep a log of any unusual drain behaviour or recurring issues
- Don't wait for small problems to become emergencies
