Program Maintenance
Tough Blockages? We’ll Get Your Drain Moving Again.
Prevent blocked drains before they become an emergency
Blocked drains rarely happen without warning. Build-up from grease, hair, tree roots, debris and sediment can gradually restrict your pipes until water starts backing up, often at the worst possible time.
Drain Rat’s programmed drain maintenance service helps keep your drainage system flowing, reducing the risk of unexpected blockages, costly repairs and emergency call-outs.
Keep your drains flowing all year round
Instead of waiting for a blocked drain to cause a problem, programmed maintenance allows your drains to be inspected and serviced at scheduled intervals.
Our experienced plumbers can assess your drainage system, identify potential problem areas and carry out preventative cleaning to help maintain healthy water flow.
Whether you manage a home, rental property, commercial site or high-use drainage system, regular maintenance can provide peace of mind.
Why choose programmed drain maintenance?
Reduce the risk of blockages
Regular cleaning can help remove build-up before it becomes a major obstruction.
Identify problems early
Routine maintenance can uncover warning signs such as recurring blockages, root intrusion, damaged pipes or restricted flow.
Avoid unexpected emergencies
Preventative maintenance can reduce the likelihood of dealing with an inconvenient drain emergency when you least expect it.
Protect your drainage system
Keeping pipes clear and flowing properly can help reduce unnecessary stress on your drainage system.
Scheduled around your needs
We can help establish a maintenance schedule based on your property's drainage system, usage and history.
What can cause drain problems?
Your drains deal with more than you might realise. Over time, they can be affected by:
Grease and fat build-up
Hair and soap residue
Food waste
Dirt and sediment
Tree roots
Foreign objects
Pipe deterioration
Repeated blockages
Heavy commercial or residential usage
Small amounts of build-up can eventually become a major blockage.
A proactive approach to drain care
Programmed maintenance is particularly useful for properties that have experienced recurring drainage problems.
Rather than repeatedly calling a plumber when a blockage occurs, a planned maintenance program gives you a more proactive way to manage your drains.
We can assess your drainage needs and recommend a maintenance frequency suited to your property.
