Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM)

If inspections uncover cracks, root ingress, or minor faults, repairs are organised before bigger issues arise. Typical interventions include drain lining for small breaks or targeted high-pressure water jetting to clear partial blockages.

By fixing these issues early, residents and business owners in towns from Angmering to Yapton can avoid costly emergencies and keep their drainage reliable.

Commercial properties have duties under health and safety and environmental regulations. Planned maintenance helps you stay compliant with UK standards.

Arun Drains provides written records of inspections and work completed, supporting your compliance with local authority requirements in West Sussex towns.

Kitchens and food businesses in places like Middleton-on-Sea and Aldwick often need regular grease trap cleaning. Scheduled maintenance keeps these systems working and avoids emergency callouts.

Grease build-up can cause unpleasant smells and serious blockages, but regular emptying and flushing prevent problems for both the business and the wider drainage network.

Every maintenance visit includes health and safety checks. Risks like foul odours, visible leaks, or potential contamination are assessed, with records kept for your peace of mind.

Reports can form part of your legal documentation as a landlord, business owner, or facilities manager in locations such as Climping and Wick.

Scheduled inspections are arranged according to your property’s needs. For some, this may mean quarterly checks; for others, annual visits are enough.

During these inspections, engineers carry out visual assessments, test flow rates, and look for early signs of clogging or structural wear. Properties in areas like Littlehampton or Bognor Regis with mature drainage often benefit from consistent scheduling.

Routine maintenance ensures your drains are working at maximum efficiency. Silt and debris are removed before they reduce flow or contribute to larger blockages.

For properties with older clay pipes common in Walberton and Slindon, regular cleaning can make a noticeable difference in day-to-day operation and prevent slow draining sinks or toilets.

CCTV drain surveys form part of most maintenance contracts, giving a detailed look inside pipes. This technology pinpoints cracks, partial blockages, and areas where structural repairs may be needed.

Homeowners and facility managers from Rustington to Felpham make use of these inspections to get clear, actionable reports and plan future maintenance.

Where pump stations are installed to manage waste water, regular servicing is essential. Maintenance visits include electrical checks, cleaning, and performance tests.

This is particularly relevant for larger properties or sites in low-lying areas of West Sussex, where pumps play a crucial role in preventing flooding and overflow.

Organising a maintenance contract is often more cost-effective than dealing with emergencies. Blockages and collapses caught early are cheaper and easier to correct.

Arun Drains’ contracts help avoid the disruption of emergency digs or costly repairs, providing predictability for property budgets in Barnham and across West Sussex.
