Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

---

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a proactive approach to maintaining the health and efficiency of your drainage system. Rather than waiting for blockages, flooding, or costly emergencies to occur, PPM involves scheduling regular inspections, cleaning, and servicing of your drains to identify and resolve issues before they escalate.

Drainage systems, like any part of a building’s infrastructure, experience wear and tear over time. Grease, silt, scale, and debris naturally build up inside pipes, which can lead to slow drainage, bad smells, and eventual blockages. With PPM, these issues are addressed in advance—minimising downtime, avoiding expensive repairs, and keeping your system running smoothly all year round.

What Does PPM Involve?

• Routine CCTV Inspections: Regular camera surveys to assess the condition of your drains and identify early signs of damage or obstruction.

• Scheduled Cleaning: High-pressure water jetting and descaling to remove build-up before it causes problems.

• System Monitoring: Keeping detailed records of your drainage health and maintenance history.

• Tailored Service Plans: Maintenance schedules designed to suit your specific property needs, whether residential, commercial, or industrial.

Benefits of Planned Preventative Maintenance:

• Reduced Risk of Emergency Callouts: Catching issues early helps prevent disruptive and costly drainage failures.

• Improved System Efficiency: Keeps your drains flowing freely and working as they should.

• Extended Lifespan of Pipework: Regular maintenance helps preserve the integrity of your drainage system.

• Cost Control: Planned servicing is more budget-friendly than dealing with unexpected breakdowns or damage.

• Compliance and Peace of Mind: Ideal for landlords, businesses, and facilities managers who need to meet health and safety or environmental regulations.
