Keeping Student Accommodation Drainage Flowing 🚿
Regular planned preventative maintenance (PPM) is key to keeping student accommodation drainage systems running reliably — especially with the demands placed on them throughout the year.
As part of a 6-monthly PPM programme, the team at Trent’s Drains recently carried out a full drainage maintenance visit, including:
🔹 Cleaning out pump pits
🔹 High-pressure jetting of underground drainage systems
🔹 Flushing through the drainage network to remove build-up and debris
🔹 Checking pipework, chambers and access points
🔹 Inspecting the system to make sure everything is flowing as it should
🔹 Identifying any potential issues before they become costly blockages or failures
PPM can be tailored to suit the site and the system, whether that’s monthly, quarterly, 6-monthly or annual maintenance. Regular cleaning and inspections can help reduce reactive call-outs, minimise disruption for residents and keep drainage assets performing as they should.
And when the unexpected does happen, Trent’s Drains can help in hours or out of hours, 24/7, with a responsive drainage service.
