The Challenge
A busy NHS hospital presents continuous and varied drainage challenges. Ward drainage must be fully operational at all times – a blockage affecting sinks, sluice facilities, or toilets on an active ward creates immediate patient care and hygiene implications. Older hospital buildings also face specific challenges including internal pipework scale build-up and leaks penetrating service ducts that require specialist equipment to locate without unnecessary disruption.
Our Solution
Drain Alert has supported Stepping Hill Hospital for over 20 years, providing emergency response for blocked ward drains and sinks, electro-mechanical descaling of internal pipework, unblocking and restoration of inspection chambers using high-pressure water jetting, and CCTV investigation to locate and identify leaks penetrating service ducts – all delivered with minimal disruption to clinical operations.
The Outcome
Over two decades of trusted service reflects the confidence that Stepping Hill Hospital has in Drain Alert to maintain their drainage infrastructure safely, effectively, and with full understanding of the demands of an active clinical environment.
