Clogged and blocked drains are a common headache for residential and commercial properties across London. When drains become congested, it can lead to foul odours, backed up sinks and toilets, and even water damage if left unchecked. By scheduling regular drain maintenance services, property owners can avoid these issues and the high cost of emergency drain repairs.
“At L&A Drainage, we strongly recommend all our customers have their drains professionally inspected and cleaned every 6-12 months,” says Bayram Kucuker, founder of L&A Drainage. “Routine drain maintenance is the best way to catch minor problems before they turn into major headaches.”
With over 10 years of experience providing drain cleaning maintenance and regular drain maintenance in London, L&A Drainage’s licensed technicians can quickly clear blockages and keep drains free flowing. We use state-of-the-art equipment like high-pressure water jetting to remove accumulations of fats, oils, tree roots and other debris. Our CCTV drain cameras also enable complete inspections of drain integrity.
Why Drains Get Clogged Over Time
There are many reasons drains become clogged and start draining slowly. Kucuker explains, “Common culprits we see obstructing drains include grease and food build up, especially when washed down the kitchen sink, hair and soap residue in bathroom drains all contribute to blocked drains.”
All these issues can gradually obstruct drainage pipes. Without routine maintenance and cleaning, minor clogs turn into major blockages. Backed up water, sewage, and foul odors become difficult to avoid. In fact, a recent survey found that 75% of UK homeowners have experienced a blocked drain in their current or previous property.
Benefits of Drain Maintenance from L&A
Having L&A Drainage handle commercial drain maintenance and regular upkeep provides London property owners and managers peace of mind in several ways:
- Prevent plumbing emergencies – Catching small issues early prevents pipe damage.
- Reduce flooding risks – Clogs can quickly lead to overflows and water backups.
- Eliminate unpleasant odors – Blocked drains breed bacteria and release bad smells.
- Extend drainage system lifespan – Regular care reduces wear and prolongs functionality.
- Ensure proper water flow – Buildup in drains diverts water where it doesn’t belong.
“The minimal time and cost of routine drain maintenance is well worth avoiding emergency calls for flooded properties and extensive pipe repairs,” says Kucuker. “It also creates a healthier, more comfortable environment.”
