When a round pays
What a roundcatches early.
These are faults a single call out never sees, and a repeated visit does.
01
The blockage has a season
When a line stops in the same part of the year every time, the cause is usually a change in how the block is used rather than an accident: flats fill up, a kitchen works harder, more wash water goes down the same run.
02
The smell returns after every clean
Odour rising from a stairwell gully or a closed flat means a dried trap or a blocked vent. Cleaning hides it for a while. A scheduled visit finds the cause and puts water back into the dry traps before they open the path again.
03
The pump runs more than it used to
A pump lifting water to the roof tank that runs more than it used to is saying there is a leak in the pipes or in the tank itself. That reads from the difference between one visit and the next, not from a single look.
The contract in short
What the contract is.
Service
A scheduled water and drainage maintenance contract
Who for
Blocks, complexes and buildings with several units
Scope
Written before it starts, and it names the points one by one
Method
A visit on an agreed round, the same points in the same order
Hours
Daily, 6:00 in the morning to 12:00 midnight
The visit
What happens oneach visit.
The visit does not change. What changes is what we find in it.
We open the listed points
We work through the same list the contract carries: every inspection chamber, every manhole and every floor gully by name, without waiting for anyone to point at a problem.
We read the line while it runs
The level in the channel while water passes says more than any description. A clean channel with water moving at its normal pace is not a channel sitting half full and moving slowly.
We work the weak point now
If a point has started to narrow, we rod it and scrape the pipe wall now, instead of waiting until it stops and the job becomes tanker suction and a flooded ground floor.
We write down what we found
Every visit leaves a note: which points were opened, which ones were narrowing, and anything that needs work bigger than maintenance. That note is what lets the next visit start from somewhere.
How the contract works
Why a round workson a shared line.
Build up on a pipe wall does not happen in a day. It starts as a thin film of cooled grease, and every time hot oil goes down the film thickens a little and catches wipes, hair and food waste with it. The bore narrows while the line is still running, so nobody notices, until more water than usual goes down and it shuts in one go.
That is exactly where a round earns its place. A visit that arrives while the run is still moving can scrape the wall and open the bore while it is close to full. A visit that arrives after the line has stopped is working on a complete blockage, standing water, and flats that cannot use their bathrooms.
A contract is a piece of paper before it is any work. It names the points: how many inspection chambers, which manhole takes the kitchen line, whether the tank and the pump sit inside the scope or outside it. What is written gets done, and what is not written we say at the start so there is no argument later.
What we write at each visit is the difference between maintenance and repetition. A point that narrows twice in a row is telling you the cause is the line itself rather than what passes through it: a fall that does not help, a crack that collects, or a branch entering the wrong way. At that stage we say it is work on the line, not something to repeat on every visit.

About the contract
Asked about thecontract.
The round is set from the building itself: how many units, whether there is a commercial kitchen, and how often you were calling before the contract. We agree it with you, write it into the contract, and change it if one point turns out to need more attention.
By default it sits on the shared lines, the chambers and the gullies that serve the whole building. The internal line of a single flat can be brought inside the scope if we agree it and write it in. Otherwise it stays separate work the occupant asks for.
Yes. Tank cleaning and pump servicing are ours, and they join the scope the same way: named in writing and given their place in the round. The roof tank and the pump that feeds it are read together, because what happens in one shows up in the other.
A call comes after the network has stopped. A contract comes before it. On top of that, whoever works under a contract already knows the building from the last visit, so no time goes on hunting for chambers or asking the same questions, and each point can be compared with how it was last time.
The owner or whoever manages the block, because the work sits on the shared lines and those belong to the building rather than to a tenant. What matters is one party agreeing the scope with us, and one named person to open the shared chambers and take the visit note.
