Avoiding Costly Backups With Preventive Maintenance

Do you have drain backups, or wonder what condition your drains are in?

Often times drains are neglected until there is a costly backup. By staying ahead of drain issues with proactive care and cleaning, these unwanted issues can be avoided. Some ways in which to avoid these issues are scheduled preventive maintenance, including televising, jetting, and auguring of your sanitary or storm water systems. Preventive maintenance of drains is an effective way to manage annual facility budgets and stay ahead of costly service calls.

What would an annual preventive maintenance agreement look like for your facility? While all applications are very different a typical agreement would start with a conversation and a site visit with a sales representative to gain a better understanding of your system. Based on this discussion, a specific preventive maintenance plan would be tailored to your facility.

Recognize Early Warning Signs

In addition to proactive care, it’s important to be vigilant for warning signs that could indicate potential drain backups. Recognizing these signs early can prevent minor issues from escalating into major headaches. Some common warning signs to watch out for include:

• slow drainage
• foul odors
• water backing up

• multiple clogged fixtures
