“Out of sight. Out of mind.”  Hidden behind walls and floors, drains and sewage systems are easy to ignore… until foul odors, back-up debris, and standing water threaten your business operation. 

Clogged drains are more than an embarrassment.  Clogged drains create a biohazard, a health hazard for both customers and employees alike.

Here are rules of thumb to help protect your commercial plumbing system.

What Drain Cleaning Schedule Should I Follow?

• Restaurants/Food Service—every 1-2 months
• High-Traffic Retail/Medical Areas—every 3-4 months
• Low traffic offices/ Warehouses-every 6-12 months

Signs Immediate Attention is Required

• Water begins draining slowly
• Gurgling/bubbling sounds
• Foul odors
• Back-up in floor drains and low-level fixtures 

Best advice: 

• Build a relationship with a trusted partner like EnviroControl Systems through a Maintenance Agreement
• Schedule draining cleaning at the same time, not less than twice yearly, every year
