Signs Your Drains Are Due For a Clean

Drainage systems are essential for the safe and hygienic transportation of water and sewer waste. However, after frequent, prolonged use, drains become susceptible to waste buildup and blockages, jeopardising their structural integrity and weakening their functionality. 


At Aqua Assets, we understand your busy industry and appreciate that you might not always have time to inspect your drains for a clean. Instead, keep an eye out for any of the following signs. If one or more resonates with your industrial drain network, contact us for thorough, professional drain cleaning services.

Frequent blockages and backups

Drains that are dirty can experience regular blockages and backups. Often, waste such as dirt, twigs, debris, and sewage sticks to the inside of pipes, shrinking their diameter and impacting their flow capacity. If your drains are frequently clogged or returning waste, a professional clean could offer the ideal solution.

Foul and unpleasant odours

Another sign of a dirty drain is offensive lingering odours. These persistent and foul smells can indicate the accumulation of stagnating waste in the infrastructure’s pipes. If you notice constant and worsening odours emanating from your industrial drains, they could likely benefit from a hydrojet clean.

Slow drainage

If you notice water pooling and draining sluggishly, your drains are likely starting to clog. This slow drainage can often lead to full blockages, so it’s important to address them promptly. Next time you are working near your drains, monitor their water flow rates to see if they are draining properly. If not, it’s likely time for a deep clean.

Visible residue

Sometimes, all it takes to identify a dirty drain is excess residue around the inside of pipe openings. Often slimy and slippery, this residue can impact flow rates and attract bugs and pests, so it’s better to schedule a professional clean to optimise functionality and maintain compliant hygiene standards.

Increased pest activity

Due to the buildup of residue, debris, and other waste, dirty drains often attract unwanted insects and rodents, such as cockroaches and mice. These pest intrusions compromise infrastructure hygiene, leaving behind germs and other harmful bacteria. If you recognise an increase in pest activity around your industrial or commercial drains, they are likely overdue for a clean.

Flooding

Flooding drains pose a contamination risk. Additionally, overflowing drains increase the likelihood of water damage to industrial and commercial worksites and equipment. If your storm or sewer drains are susceptible to flooding, they are probably dirty. Call in a waste management specialist to perform a comprehensive deep clean.

Overdue for a clean

Pipes and drains should be cleaned regularly. Check your facility/worksite maintenance reports to find records of the drain system’s most recent clean. If it exceeds six months, we recommend giving us a call and scheduling a professional service.
