Preventative Planned Maintenance (PPM)

Drainage problems often strike without warning, creating disruption, unexpected costs, and potential health hazards. The good news is that most issues — from recurring blockages to structural damage — can be avoided with proactive care. At First Choice Drainage Solutions, we provide tailored Preventative Planned Maintenance (PPM) packages to keep your drainage systems running smoothly all year round.

Our scheduled maintenance services are designed to spot problems early, extend the life of your system, and prevent costly emergencies. With a PPM programme in place, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing that your drains are being looked after by an experienced, professional team.

Why Choose PPM for Your Drains?

Reactive callouts may solve immediate issues, but they often come at the worst possible time — during peak business hours, after severe weather, or when systems are under pressure. PPM provides a smarter, long-term alternative by:

• Preventing blockages – regular jetting and cleaning reduce debris, grease, and scale.

• Reducing emergency costs – avoiding expensive reactive callouts and repairs.

• Maintaining compliance – ensuring systems meet health, safety, and environmental standards.

• Extending asset lifespan – protecting pipework, pumps, and gullies from premature wear.

• Improving efficiency – keeping water flow at full capacity.

• Protecting reputation – preventing foul odours, overflows, or downtime in commercial settings.

What Our PPM Packages Include

We design every PPM schedule around the specific needs of your site, but services typically include:

• Regular Inspections – visual checks and performance assessments to identify early warning signs.

• High-Pressure Water Jetting – clearing grease, silt, and debris from pipework.

• Drain Descaling – removing hardened deposits to restore full flow.

• CCTV Drain Surveys – spotting cracks, displaced joints, and hidden defects.

• Gully & Stack Cleaning – maintaining key drainage assets in multi-storey or external systems.

• Pump Maintenance – servicing pumps as part of integrated water management systems.

This holistic approach ensures every element of your drainage system remains in peak condition.
