School Drainage Systems

Taking care of the drains in any kind of education building can be extremely difficult. The sheer volume of people that rely on these drains can lead to a range of problems. School drainage systems in the UK need to be high-capacity, hard-wearing and resistant to all kinds of damage. Blockages are common, so installing a hard-wearing drainage system is extremely important. Otherwise, you could be left with a costly repair bill and be forced to conduct work which is disruptive to your classes.

Hard-Wearing, Reliable School Drainage Systems in the South-West of England

One of the main problems with modern school drains is that they have been forced to evolve. Most schools have grown bigger over the years, adding more buildings and rooms to deal with more students. As a result, these properties don’t have the best drainage systems to handle a high volume of waste. Similarly, most schools have developed over many years, using whatever materials were available at the same time. This has led to inefficient and easily-damaged systems which can cause a great deal of disruption.

Any kind of school drains systems will suffer from its own unique challenges, whether that is due to mismatched pipes or old, ineffective designs. Here at Drainage Care, we can install completely new and matching systems for schools throughout the South-West of England. Our experienced team can install a bespoke system to prevent regular blockages and other forms of damage.

The Risks of Poor School Drainage

Schools are vulnerable to all kinds of drainage damage. When drain pipes do become damaged or otherwise impaired, this can require quick and often expensive repair work. Thanks to Drainage Care’s complete installation services, you’ll be able to avoid these issues. Some of the most common kinds of problems associated with ineffective school drainage can include:

• Blockages – Drain pipes can easily become blocked in schools and education facilities. It can be difficult to maintain good drainage care when there are so many people using these drains daily. Students of all ages can easily dispose of all kinds of waste, sometimes even deliberately causing blockages in sinks and toilets. Having hard-wearing drains which can deal with these blockages is the most effective way of preventing long-term damage.Blocked drains can be caused by disposing of waste which is unsuitable for flushing. School drains are just as vulnerable as commercial and residential drains to blockages. Drains can easily become blocked following the attempted disposal of:
  • Baby Wipes and Wet Wipes.
  • Rolled Up Toilet Paper and Kitchen Roll.
  • Leaves.
  • Food Packaging.
  • Makeup Waste.
  • Human Waste.
• Collapsed and Damaged Pipes – As many school’s drainage systems have been in-place for many years, they will have suffered extensive wear and tear. This can easily lead to collapses in the pipe and other issues. In some cases, this can cause water to escape from the pipe and other serious issues to occur.
• Pipe Intrusions – Tree roots are another common cause of problems in the UK. Tree roots will naturally grow in the direction of your pipes as they can detect moisture. They will only require a small gap, such as a loose connection or crack to enter your drains. Once inside, these roots will grow extremely quickly due to the moisture and nutrients in grey water.Tree roots can cause serious problems, including damage and immovable blockages, if not cleared quickly.
