Introduction

Among a great deal of residential drain unblocking work we do we also have a lot of larger commercial customers too.

We work in Schools, Care home, Offices, Universities and other large public buildings, so we come across a lot of different jobs.

The Problem

We wee recently called to a commercial customer’s building where 2 out of 3 urinals kept blocking and failing to drain properly.

This was naturally a big problem and not pleasant for visitors and employees either. After some investigation we discovered the reason for the issue. It was simply that each urinal had its own mini cistern and the exiting water pressure to the room just wasn’t enough to fill each one evenly.

The result? The first one would get plenty of water and the other two didn’t get enough.

The Solution

The solution was simple.

We decided to install one larger cistern that could fill properly with the existing water pressure and would deliver an even flush across all three as a result.

Once installed it worked perfectly first time and the customer was very pleased. The job involved removing the old cisterns, installing the new one and, of course, cleaning and repairing the walls that were left behind the old cisterns.
