Winter inevitably leads to frost, snow and cold weather - all which can look quite beautiful but it can cause damage to your drains and in some cases your property. During the winter pipes and drainage systems are all susceptible to freezing and then damage - so it's important to keep your drain systems well maintained to ensure no faults occur - especially at inconvenient times!
Metro Rod are here to provide service and advice to ensure that you avoid common winter drainage problems, so if you're a home or business owner in the Liverpool, Warrington, St Helens, Skelmersdale, Runcorn and Widnes areas you may want to read on to find out about problems that you may have with your drains in this weather and possible solutions.
Autumn and winter bring leaves, rain, frost and (hopefully!) snow. It's also the time of year where you're most likely to find leaves, twigs, branches and other debris blocking your external drains. Uncleared blockages can result in blockages to drainage systems and can result in blockages and flooding in or outside your home or business. Please consider;
As mentioned above full gutters and rain can lead to drainage problems and also structural problems on homes and sites. Metro Rod Liverpool were recently called to a site that had full gutters full of leaves and moss and whenever it rained the gutter was flooding, leading to puddles forming on the ground and the puddles were freezing - obviously a major hazard for members of the public. It is important to ensure that gutters are kept clean and clear and we can assist with this, as above.
Drain problems are never convenient or wanted, but problems such as these often seem worse and are even more inconvenient in the cold weather. If you have any drain problems or requirements or need any advice on how to deal with any potential problems please don't hesitate to contact us at Metro Rod direct.
