Essential Drainage Checks for a Smooth-Running Property!

Blocked drains can lead to serious issues—but regular checks can help prevent costly repairs! ✅ Here’s a quick drainage maintenance checklist:

🔹 Flush each toilet – Ensure smooth flow and spot any slow drainage.
🔹 Run all taps – Check for slow draining sinks or gurgling sounds.
🔹 Inspect the gullies – Remove debris to prevent blockages.
🔹 Check the gutters – Avoid water overflow and structural damage.
🔹 Examine car park drains – Keep surface water draining properly.

A little maintenance goes a long way!

• Put your food waste in the bin

🥞It’s Pancake Day!!🥞

These delicious treats are a dinner we all look forward to, however the clean up can cause damage to your drains if they are not disposed of properly.
As the batter contains oils and fats, these can block the drains when poured down the sink and may end up causing an emergency call out in the future.

So enjoy your yummy pancakes today, whatever your favourite toppings are, and just remember to bin any food waste to keep those drains healthy!
