Preventative Drain Maintenance Supplies

When it comes to your drains, prevention is better than cure. Our products are trusted by businesses across a wide range of sectors where reliability, hygiene, and system performance matter most.

Alternatives to emergency callouts.

We understand the frustration of malfunctioning drains. For homeowners, it's an inconvenience, but for commercial and industrial operations, blocked drains, overflowing grease traps, or failing lift stations can translate directly into lost revenue, reduced efficiency, and damage to your reputation.

From drain unblockers and grease liquefiers to biological cleaners and toilet maintenance products, our powerful, easy-to-use drain maintenance products are designed to prevent damage and reduce blockages. Our preventative drain maintenance products are designed to become an integral part of your inventory supplies, helping make costly commercial call-outs a thing of the past. Whether you're tackling persistent blockages, FOG (fats, oils, and grease) build-up, odors, or general wear and tear our drain maintenance products are here to keep your drain systems flowing and your maintenance on track.

Clogs and blockages can occur as a result of a wide range of causes. Depending on the wastes that enter your drain systems, a specific drain cleaner or opener may be required to clear the blockages.

  • Fats, oils, and greases: Fats, oils, and greases (FOG) are a leading cause of clogged drains, especially in restaurants, food processing facilities, commercial kitchens, and hospitality venues. When allowed to cool and solidify, these substances form dense blockages (often referred to as fatbergs) which can severely restrict flow and cause costly backups.
  • Organic waste: Organic wastes such as hair, soap scum and bodycare products are a common cause of clogging in hospitality and accommodation establishments. Whether in hotels, gyms, leisure centres, or any other property, we offer a number of drain cleaners designed to clear organic waste build-ups that can often result in facility closures that impact your business.
  • Other blockages: Blockages can be caused by paper, cloth and other non-biodegradable matters (including concrete) that prevent drains from flowing freely. If you’re experiencing these problems, or want the products on hand to prevent them, explore our range of drain maintenance products, or get in touch with our team to help with the supplies you need today.

Corrosion, pressure build-up, and the accumulation of fats, oils, grease (FOG), and other organic materials can weaken pipes over time, leading to leaks or sudden failure. Whether you are experiencing pipe damage, have experienced damaged pipes, or are afraid of pipe damage – preventative drain maintenance is key for prolonged system life. At Solenis, we help reduce the risk of pipe damage with preventative drain cleaning and maintenance solutions that: Clear blockages and reduce pressure build-up inside pipework, dissolve and prevent corrosive material build-up, such as uric acid and limescale, protect metal, and plastic pipes with specially formulated products containing corrosion inhibitors. Products like DA Ez Drain are designed not only to unblock drains but to help prolong the life of your plumbing infrastructure, avoiding the disruption and expense of emergency pipe repairs or replacements.

  • Leaking pipes: NCH also offers a number of emergency pipe repair kits, ideal to keep in your inventory for when the worst happens. Our range includes pipe bandage repair kits and a number of two-part repair compounds to repair damaged and leaking pipes fast.

Toilet hygiene and maintenance are essential for any facility. Scent and cleanliness leave a lasting impression, influencing both user satisfaction and your brand reputation. Not only can poor toilet facility maintenance leave a poor impression, organic materials and uric salts could also be damaging to pipes and porcelain, leading to unforeseen costs and shutdowns. We provide a comprehensive range of preventative toilet and drain maintenance products to help you stay ahead of common issues:

  • Toilet blockages: Toilet blockages can quickly lead to inconvenience and disruption. We offer a selection of powerful yet safe drain cleaners specifically formulated for use in toilets. Regular use helps clear minor build-ups before they become major blockages – keeping your facilities operational and hygienic.
  • Urinal blockages: Urinal blockages are typically caused by uric acid crystals, limescale, and organic waste accumulating in pipework. Over time, these deposits restrict flow and cause odours. Our urinal maintenance products are designed to: digest organic waste and uric salts; descale and dissolve limescale; deodorise the system for a fresher environment.
  • Toilet odors: Foul odors often stem from organic decay, bacterial gases, and uric salt build-up. Not only do they create an unpleasant experience for users, but they can also degrade pipes and porcelain over time. Our drain deodorising solutions are formulated to neutralise odors at the source, with our Lustra Extra bowl cleaner effective at removing organic deposits, scum and stains, and restoring freshness to urinals and toilet bowls. From small staff washrooms to stadiums, public venues, and transport hubs, our maintenance supplies are ideal for facilities of any size.

Kitchens, whether in restaurants, food processing plants, hotels or catering facilities, are high-risk environments for drain problems. The constant flow of fats, oils, grease (FOG), food waste, and detergent residues can quickly lead to blockages, unpleasant odours and reduced drainage efficiency. We offer a range of drain cleaners that eliminate kitchen drain issues before they can occur. Our products include grease liquefiers and emulsifiers to prevent FOG solidification, biological wastewater treatment to digest organic waste to prevent foul-smelling and hard-to-shift build-ups. Our drain cleaners are designed to be a staple of your commercial/professional kitchen supplies, helping to keep up your preventative maintenance. With easy-to-use formulations and support from our expert team, we help keep your kitchen drains in peak working condition, with less downtime, better hygiene, and fewer costly surprises.

Grease traps are essential for capturing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the main drainage system, but without regular maintenance, they can become a major source of blockages, odours, and hygiene risks. Solidified grease and food particles build up over time, reducing efficiency and increasing the need for pump-outs or emergency intervention. Solenis provides specialist grease trap maintenance solutions that liquefy and emulsify FOG before it solidifies; digest organic waste with biological treatments to reduce sludge; control odours and prevent overflow, keeping systems compliant and functional. With our easy-to-dose, preventative products, you can extend pump-out intervals, improve trap efficiency, and avoid costly downtime.

Lift stations play a vital role in wastewater management, pumping wastewater from lower to higher elevations  particularly in large facilities and complex plumbing systems. But over time, solid waste, grease, and bacterial growth can accumulate, leading to odours, backups, and potential equipment failure. To address these challenges, Solenis offers HC Lift Soya, a natural, biodegradable degreaser specifically formulated for lift station maintenance. This advanced solution emulsifies stubborn grease and fat deposits for improved flow and reduced build-up, breaking down heavy organic matter without causing downstream debris issues. The lift station degreaser features a floating formulation that rises and falls with water levels, providing continuous cleaning and odor control throughout each cycle.
