Freeflow works with a number of companies and industries to ensure the proper maintenance and care of commercial drains. These businesses include national high street retailers, housing associations, local authorities and the ministry of defence, and even cross channel ferries. Commercial drains face the same problems as domestic ones, but each type of business has its own particular problems as well, and Freeflow offers a range of practical and cost-cutting solutions. It’s vital to keep industrial drains free of contamination and blockages and this can be difficult to do without professional intervention. Here are some examples of problems found in commercial drains, and the relevant solutions.
Grease Trap Maintenance and FOG Disposal
Many larger restaurants will rely on grease-traps to keep fat, oil and grease (FOG) out of the drainage system. It’s important not to pump the sink with hot water to wash these products down instead, as this could cause damage to the pipework as deposits will be left inside. Specialist grease trap cleaning and emptying services help to prevent this type of blockage of commercial drains.
Disposal of Petrol Interceptor Waste
Interceptor tanks are found anywhere where fuel or petrol can leak from vehicles and be dangerous. This includes car parks, car washes, fire stations, supermarkets, garages and bus depots. Many local businesses such as these with commercial drains in Chichester and across the south coast can be provided emptying and cleaning services by Freeflow, to ensure that all waste is treated and disposed to the highest safety and industry standards.
Descaling Cast Iron Pipework
Freeflow offers this service to commercial drains with pipework that is more delicate. In most cases, the drain is too weak to be cleaned using high-pressure water jetting. By attaching different heads to a rotating cable, cast iron pipework can be unblocked more safely, thus removing the corrosion from the inner walls. If this corrosion is not removed it can cause the pipes to weaken even more. Freeflow offers the equipment and expertise to restore these types of commercial drains to their original condition.
Planned Maintenance Schedules
Regular maintenance and checks can be organised and carried by Freeflow such as CCTV surveying. This is the most effective way to make sure your commercial drains and in working order, and free of any damage. State-of-the-art cameras are used to monitor the commercial drains Chichester and in the South of the UK. CCTV cameras send the footage to highly trained technicians in a mobile van unit ready to tackle any problems that may be found. Scheduled cleaning of commercial drains will prevent untoward effects on businesses caused by blocked, deformed or collapsed drains. Properly maintained commercial drains are key to the successful running of any business. Freeflow also deals with larger-scale national projects.
At Freeflow, you’ll receive a complete range of drainage services for both your home and your business. For more information on commercial drains Chichester or across the south coast contact an expert advisor free of charge on 0800 289 752.
