Every Drainage System Needs Maintenance

Regardless of the setting, whether it is a home, a restaurant or a business premise, one thing is known for sure, every drainage system needs occasional maintenance.

Some homeowners tackle slow-flowing drains by using chemicals to kill blockages. Short term, chemicals are a health, environmental and safety hazard; long term, this practice could damage the drains considerably. At some point in time, thorough cleaning of these drains becomes a must.
