With the summer holidays in full swing, now’s the perfect time to get your schools drainage checked.
At DALROD, we understand how critical it is for schools to provide a safe, clean and disruption-free environment for students and staff. That’s why we always encourage educational facilities to make drainage inspections a top priority before the new school year begins.
Hidden Problems, Big Disruptions
Over time, drainage systems in schools can become clogged with debris, scale and many other (sometimes unexpected!) items. They are also subject to seasonal weather changes and heavy use during term time. These issues can easily go unnoticed until it’s too late, leading to unpleasant smells, slow draining water, or even flooding. For schools, this can mean classroom closures, health and safety concerns and unexpected repair bills.
Unique Drainage Needs

With hundreds of pupils using the facilities daily, school drainage systems are under constant pressure. Toilet blocks, kitchens, classrooms and external drains all play a part in keeping your school functioning smoothly.
Regular inspections and servicing can identify early warning signs and help avoid term-time emergencies.
How DALROD Can Help
Our expert engineers use the latest CCTV technology to carry out quick and non-disruptive inspections of your drains. This allows us to pinpoint any issues and provide a clear action plan, before they become a problem.
We offer:
- Full CCTV drainage surveys
- Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
- High-pressure water jetting
- Emergency callouts and repair
All with minimal disruption to your site and tailored to the school environment.
We also offer pre-planned maintenance (PPM) options, so we can keep your drains in good shape all year round. Whether you want monthly, quarterly, or termly visits, we’ll build a plan that works for your school.
Start the Year Flowing Smoothly
Don’t let blocked drains be the reason your school year starts off on the wrong foot. A quick check now can save time, money and stress further down the line.
Our local DALROD teams offer free site surveys for schools out of term time. This involves a walk-through of the school grounds and allows us to provide a tailored package to meet your schools’ needs.
Our huge network of local service centres also means we’re never far away in an emergency. We’re available 24/7, so if the worst should happen during school operating hours, we are always on hand to provide fast, effective solutions, with minimal disruption.
