Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM)

If minor faults come up during scheduled visits, small repairs can be carried out straight away. This includes relining sections of pipe or clearing minor obstructions.

Acting early keeps your system working and prevents more disruptive repairs in the future.

Some properties in Dorset—like food businesses or managed blocks—must show they keep drainage in good order. Regular maintenance helps you meet these obligations.

Documentation from each visit can be provided, making it easier to demonstrate compliance if ever required.

For commercial kitchens across Bournemouth or Wareham, grease trap cleaning is often included in maintenance contracts. Blocked grease traps can lead to smells and overflows.

Regular emptying and cleaning avoids disruption and ensures compliance with environmental guidelines.

Every visit includes a written service report outlining work completed and any findings. This supports your health and safety requirements, particularly in commercial or rental properties.

Reports can be kept on file or shared with property managers as needed.

Inspections are booked at intervals that match your property’s usage—monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Engineers assess manholes, pipework, and key access points each visit.

By checking regularly, signs of wear like minor tree root ingress or early build-up can be spotted and actioned before an emergency develops.

Ongoing maintenance keeps water and waste flowing freely, preventing slow drains or repeat blockages. Routine jetting or rodding removes build-up in main pipes and gullies.

This regular cleaning is especially useful for busy kitchens or properties with trees close to their drains.

During each maintenance visit, engineers check for structural issues using CCTV cameras in problematic or hard-to-access pipes.

This allows for clear evidence of your drainage condition and highlights any sections needing future repair—especially useful for older properties in towns like Wimborne.

Properties in areas like Upton and Lytchett Minster with pump stations require regular servicing as part of their planned maintenance.

Engineers check pumps, alarms, and controls, preventing unexpected failures that can cause localised flooding or backup.

By identifying issues early, planned contracts help you avoid expensive emergency call-outs or major drain excavations. This gives peace of mind and better budget control.

Poole Drains can discuss contract options to suit homes, retail sites or larger managed estates throughout Dorset.
