Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM)

Small problems like cracked pipes or minor blockages can be spotted early during inspections. Our engineers will recommend and carry out necessary repairs as part of your maintenance contract.

Repair work is completed using methods such as drain lining or high-pressure jetting. This keeps your drainage system in good condition and avoids bigger issues caused by neglect.

Businesses and public buildings in Cornwall must comply with drainage regulations to protect the environment and public health. Our maintenance contracts are designed to help you meet these legal requirements.

We provide written evidence of inspections and repairs carried out, supporting your compliance with local authority guidelines or insurance obligations.

Cafés, restaurants, and food producers across Cornwall rely on properly maintained grease traps to stay compliant and prevent blockages. Regular emptying and cleaning as part of a contract prevents fat build-up in drainage systems.

Our engineers handle safe removal, cleaning, and disposal. This means smoother operations and fewer kitchen shutdowns caused by avoidable drainage issues.

Every maintenance visit includes a report documenting what has been checked and any work completed. These clear, written records help meet health and safety requirements, particularly for schools, care homes, and workplaces in the region.

You’ll receive these reports promptly after each visit, so you always know the current state of your drainage system.

Routine inspections are booked in advance as part of the maintenance agreement. Truro Drains will visit at agreed intervals that suit your property’s usage—often every few months for businesses, or annually for homes.

During these visits, our engineers use CCTV cameras to check the inside of your drains and identify potential issues before they become disruptive. This helps prevent sudden emergencies and keeps drainage systems working efficiently.

Planned maintenance helps keep drains working as they should, preventing slow drainage and foul smells. Regular cleaning removes debris, silt, and grease that build up over time, especially in older Cornwall properties.

Well-maintained drains are less likely to overflow, cause water damage, or disrupt business operations. Ongoing care helps maintain property value and convenience for owners and tenants.

Every visit includes a thorough check of manholes, gullies, rainwater pipes, and underground drains. Our team uses CCTV equipment to check for roots, cracks, and blockages hidden from view.

If issues are found, we can plan repairs before they cause disruption. This level of inspection is especially valuable in properties with older clay drains common around Truro and Falmouth.

Some sites in places like St Austell or Redruth may have pumping stations for surface water or sewage. These need regular checks to avoid breakdowns and flooding.

Our contracts cover pump station servicing, including cleaning sumps, checking alarms, and testing controls to ensure reliable function all year.

Regular scheduled care helps catch small issues before they grow into expensive repairs or emergency call-outs. Over time, proactive maintenance is cost-effective compared to dealing with repeated blockages or water damage.

Routine contracts reduce business disruption and help homeowners in Cornwall avoid unexpected drainage costs throughout the year.
