Winter leaves its mark not only on the roads but also deep inside your drainage system. Especially if you skipped maintenance in the autumn, you should act now and have professional spring maintenance carried out on your drainage system.
Why spring maintenance of your drainage system matters
Over the winter months, frost has loosened dirt particles and grit residue in the pipes. This is a “silent” danger for your drainage. Because winter often brings only snow or a light thaw, the natural flushing effect of heavy rain is missing. The dirt stays in the pipes, collects at narrow points and hardens there.
The situation is particularly special in Vienna and the surrounding area. Here, 80% of rainwater and wastewater flows into the same sewer. Dirt from the street therefore ends up directly in the system. If grit residue from the winter blocks the pipes, the entire drainage network of the building is at risk.
The spring check in detail
To make sure your drainage system is ready for this year’s rainfall events and is not blocked by hardened deposits, we tackle the critical points. Our team takes care of professional cleaning and inspection for you:
- Downpipe cleaning: We clear gutters and downpipes of leaves and winter residue. This prevents dirt from sliding down from above and blocking the pipe system.
- Surface drainage: We thoroughly clean yard drains and street gullies of grit and dirt so that rainwater can flow away from the building unhindered.
- Inspection of separators (e.g. silt traps or gully pots): These collection points catch coarse dirt and sand before they enter the main pipe. We make sure that these chambers do not overflow or clog after the winter.
With this targeted maintenance, we prevent deposits from turning into an emergency.
Planning reliability through professional maintenance
Spring maintenance is not just a quick “check” but an essential building block for the long-term reliability of your drainage system. While we also recommend autumn maintenance, the spring appointment is often the more important one: it frees the system from the hard deposits of winter and prepares it for the most demanding months of the year.
Instead of reacting to acute problems, DerKanal relies on forward-looking planning. With a customized maintenance and servicing plan, you keep costs predictable and easy to budget. We manage your system proactively, document its condition in full and make sure that the value of your property is protected in the long term.
