Explored the multifaceted approach adopted by Worsley Drains, and the myriad benefits property owners reap from entrusting their drainage systems to us.


The Importance of Drain Maintenance


Preventive Care:

Drain maintenance is akin to preventive care for the health of a drainage system. Regular inspections and cleaning help identify potential issues before they escalate into more significant problems, saving property owners from the costs and disruptions associated with emergency repairs.

Optimal Performance:

Well-maintained drains operate at optimal performance. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure the free flow of water, preventing blockages, backups, and reduced efficiency in the drainage system.

Prolonged Lifespan:

Like any infrastructure, drainage systems have a finite lifespan. Routine maintenance, including inspections, repairs, and cleaning, contributes to prolonging the lifespan of pipes and components, reducing the frequency of replacements.

Environmental Stewardship:

Proper drain maintenance is also an act of environmental stewardship. Regular cleaning prevents the build-up of debris, pollutants, and contaminants in the drainage system, reducing the risk of environmental harm and ensuring the responsible disposal of wastewater.


Our Approach


Scheduled Inspections:

Worsley Drains recommends scheduled inspections as a fundamental aspect of drain maintenance. This proactive approach involves routine assessments of the entire drainage system using advanced diagnostic tools, including CCTV drain surveys. By identifying potential issues early on, property owners can address them before they escalate into major problems.

High-Pressure Water Jetting:

A cornerstone of Worsley Drains’ maintenance services is high-pressure water jetting. This technique involves using powerful jets of water to clear debris, sediments, and blockages from the drainage pipes. High-pressure water jetting not only effectively removes existing build-up but also serves as a preventive measure against future issues.

Root Cutting Services:

Tree roots pose a common threat to drainage systems, infiltrating pipes and causing blockages. Worsley Drains incorporates root cutting services as part of its maintenance regimen. By employing mechanical drain snaking and high-pressure water jetting, the company clears roots from pipes, preventing potential damage and blockages.

CCTV Drain Surveys:

Worsley Drains relies on advanced CCTV drain surveys for comprehensive inspections. This technology allows technicians to visually assess the condition of the drainage system, identify potential issues, and create detailed maps for informed decision-making. The data gathered from CCTV drain surveys forms the basis for tailored maintenance plans.

Grease Trap Maintenance:

For commercial establishments such as restaurants, proper maintenance of grease traps is vital. Worsley Drains offers specialized services for grease trap cleaning and maintenance, preventing the accumulation of grease and fats that could lead to blockages and foul odours.

Comprehensive Cleaning and Descaling:

Over time, drainage pipes can accumulate scale, mineral deposits, and sediment. Worsley Drains employs specialized techniques for comprehensive cleaning and descaling, ensuring the removal of built-up debris that can impede the flow of water.
