At Blockbuster Drain Services, we understand how important well-maintained drains are to keeping your home or business running smoothly. Whether you’re based in Navan, Trim, Ashbourne, Kells, or anywhere across County Meath, proper drain care can save you from costly repairs and unpleasant blockages.

In this guide, we’ll share expert tips tailored for residents and businesses across Meath’s many towns, helping you keep your drainage system in top condition all year round.


Why Proper Drain Maintenance is Essential


Blocked drains can lead to flooding, bad odours, and damage to your property’s drainage system. Grease, dirt, and debris build-up is common, especially in busy homes and commercial kitchens. Regular maintenance prevents these issues and extends the life of your drainage system — saving you time, money, and hassle.


Top 7 Drain Maintenance Tips for Meath Homes and Businesses


  1. Avoid Pouring Grease or Cooking Oil Down Your Drains

Grease hardens inside pipes, creating stubborn blockages. Collect cooking fats and oils in containers and dispose of them safely in the trash.

  1. Use Sink Strainers to Catch Food Scraps and Hair

Simple sink strainers prevent solids from entering your pipes — essential for kitchens and bathrooms in towns like Dunboyne, Slane, and Ratoath.

  1. Flush Your Drains Weekly with Hot Water and Bleach

Pour boiling water down drains, then a small amount of bleach. This routine helps break down grease and keeps drains clean, especially important in busy places like Ashbourne and Navan.

  1. Regularly Clear External Drains and Gully Traps

Leaves, soil, and debris can clog outdoor drains, causing flooding. Inspect and clean these regularly in towns such as Kells, Dunshaughlin, Bettystown, Laytown, and Oldcastle.

  1. Don’t Flush Non-Degradable Items

Avoid flushing wipes, sanitary products, cotton wool, or paper towels — these cause blockages. Dispose of them in bins, not toilets.

  1. Schedule Professional Drain Inspections

If drains are slow or frequently blocked, get a CCTV drain survey. This service is invaluable for identifying hidden cracks or root damage in pipes across Meath’s towns like Summerhill, Athboy, Julianstown, Stamullen, and beyond.

  1. Call Experts at the First Sign of Trouble

Unusual smells, slow drainage, or gurgling sounds signal a problem. Early intervention prevents costly emergencies and extensive damage.
