What are the Common Problems Related to Industrial Drainage?

There are all kinds of issues which can develop with your industrial drainage systems. These systems are vulnerable to the same kinds of problems as other drainage solutions. However, they are often placed under a great deal more stress than other drains. Just some of the most common problems that any kind of drainage system can suffer from include:

Blocked Drains ­– Blockages in drain pipes are an extremely common problem for all kinds of properties. They can be caused by a wide range of materials and debris entering your system. This is a serious and common issue for all kinds of commercial and industrial properties. These drainage systems will be required to deal with a high volume of water and waste of various types.

In these larger properties, it can be extremely difficult to control the kinds of waste that enter your drains. Employees and visitors can flush and dispose of all kinds of personal waste without having to worry about maintaining the drains. Some of the most common causes of industrial drains blockages include:

• Toilet Roll and Kitchen Roll.
• Wet Wipes and Baby Wipes.
• Feminine Products.
• Food Debris.
• Fats, Oils and Greases.

Tree Root Intrusion – Tree roots can enter your drains extremely easily. They will be naturally drawn to the water and nutrients inside your pipes. These tree roots need only the smallest of cracks or loose connections to enter. Once inside, the tree roots will grow quickly and can easily cause serious blockages. In some cases, these roots can even cause substantial damage to the interior of the drain pipes themselves.

Collapsed Drain Pipes – Whenever a drain pipe collapses, it can cause serious problems for your industrial site. It will allow water to leak out from the pipe into the surrounding area. As such, it can cause substantial damage to your property’s foundations. Collapsed pipes are also a common cause of subsidence, water logging and standing water.

Why are Industrial Drainage Systems More Dangerous than Commercial Drains?

Industrial drains are required to handle a wide range of potentially hazardous materials. These drains can be required to deal with a wide range of materials and waste, including human waste, food waste and more. However, they can also be required to deal with harsher, more industrial waste including cleaning agents, chemicals and more.

Industrial drainage needs a professional team to ensure that it operates at its peak efficiency. Failing to do so can lead to a wide range of potential problems across your industrial site.
