May We Help You? Get Your Drains Summer-Ready with Rapid Response
May is here and with it, longer days, garden parties, and the sweet, sweet smell of BBQ smoke drifting through the air. But while you’re busy cutting the lawn or prepping the patio furniture, your drains could be getting ready to throw a summer tantrum.
At Rapid Response Drain Care, May is when we start to see a spike in unexpected drain issues. Why? Because warmer weather means heavier usage from outdoor taps to increased footfall at businesses and all those hidden winter leftovers finally make themselves known.
So, before your drains become the uninvited guest at your next family BBQ or customer event, let us step in and help you avoid a summer stink.
Warmer Weather = Busier Drains
Think about it warmer weather means:
More outdoor water use (hoses, sprinklers, jet washing)
More cooking, more dishes, and yes, more grease
More foot traffic in shops, pubs, restaurants, and venues
More garden debris, especially after lawn care or planting
All of this puts added pressure on your drainage system, both inside and out. Whether it’s fat deposits starting to smell or roots invading your underground pipes, May is when issues that have been simmering beneath the surface start to boil over.
Our advice? Don’t wait for a blockage. A proactive drain check now will save you mess, stress, and disruption in the sunny weeks ahead.
For Homeowners: Keep Things Flowing for Summer
If you’re a homeowner, the last thing you want is a slow-draining sink, mysterious smells, or an overflowing outside drain when guests arrive. Or worse a blocked toilet during half-term.
May is a fantastic time to have your drains checked, cleaned, and cleared in preparation for summer holidays, family get-togethers, and garden upgrades. It’s also the perfect moment to deal with:
Garden drain blockages from recent landscaping or mowing
Kitchen drain build-up from months of heavy winter cooking
Bathroom slow drains caused by hair, soap scum, or limescale
We offer no-fuss, clean, and efficient domestic services. Whether it’s a routine clear-out or you’re worried about a recurring issue, we’ll get it sorted quickly and leave no trace behind.
For Businesses: Beat the Rush Before Summer
For commercial clients, May is your golden window. It’s before the big summer crowds, before the school holidays, and before outdoor events kick off.
Whether you run a café, restaurant, pub, gym, or hotel, now is the time to get your drains inspected and maintained. We can handle:
Grease trap cleaning
Toilet blockages and urinal maintenance
External drain clearing and root removal
Regular maintenance schedules tailored to your needs
We know that time is money in business, so we work quickly, discreetly, and with minimal disruption often outside your working hours if needed.
