Do you know if your Drainage is working?
Drainage is one of those things that we only tend to think about when it isn’t working!
You don’t always have to wait until you have a problem with your drainage. By having your plumbing inspected you can ensure that you know you drainage is working and you know that you may need to make repairs.
Drainage can be of concern when it hasn’t rained for a while as general debris doesn’t get washed away!
Drainage is not just for homes, business has many different types of drainage too. Just think of hairdressers, commercial kitchens, mechanical workshops, schools, and more. There are so many environments that need to ensure that their water and liquids are dealt with correctly.
For example: Commercial kitchens have grease traps to ensure their waste is dealt with correctly and it doesn’t all go down into the sewer.
