As autumn approaches, the strain on drainage systems increases. Rain, leaves and soil can quickly cause sand traps and drains to become blocked, posing a risk of flooding and damage to both roads and property.
A sand trap acts as a filter in the drainage system. It collects soil, gravel, sand and other sediment that would otherwise cause blocked pipes or damage further down the system. To ensure the sand trap functions optimally, it is important to empty it regularly.
Why is it important to empty sand traps?
-
Prevents flooding and water ingress into the basement
-
Reduces the risk of damage to roads, pipes and manholes
-
Ensures the sewerage network operates reliably
-
Helps to improve the environment by preventing pollution from being washed away
