Septic tank problems can be costly, disruptive, and difficult to manage. Whether it’s soakaway failure, unpleasant odours, slow drainage, or the constant need for emptying, many property owners struggle with maintaining an efficient on-site wastewater system. However, an innovative solution is now available in Ireland—the Pirana System, a revolutionary approach to on-site septic tank treatment that transforms the way waste is managed and recycled. What is the Pirana System? The Pirana System is the first new technology designed to naturally recycle human waste on-site. Unlike traditional septic tank treatments, which rely on passive bacterial breakdown, the Pirana introduces an active bio-accelerator process. This continuously cultivates specialist bacteria within the system, breaking down organic waste faster and more efficiently than conventional methods. The result is a cleaner, more sustainable, and cost-effective septic tank solution With over 10,000 installations worldwide, the Pirana System has proven its ability to revive failing septic tanks and soakaways, making it an excellent choice for homes and businesses struggling with persistent drainage issues How Can the Pirana System Benefit Your Septic Tank? Traditional septic tanks can often struggle with solid waste buildup, leading to blockages, backups, and environmental contamination. The Pirana System works by introducing oxygen and specialised bacteria into your existing septic system, significantly accelerating waste decomposition and preventing solids from accumulating in your soakaway. This advanced process helps to: ✔ Reduce Septic Tank Pump-Out Frequency – With faster breakdown of waste, there is less solid buildup, meaning fewer costly emptying sessions and lower maintenance costs ✔ Prevent & Restore Failing Soakaways – Many septic tank failures occur due to clogged soakaway fields. The Pirana System actively cleans and revitalises soil absorption, restoring your system to optimal function ✔ Eliminate Bad Odours & Waste Build-Up – A failing septic system often produces unpleasant odours and waste overflow. The Pirana System breaks down organic matter more effectively, helping to eliminate these common issues ✔ Reduce Environmental Impact – By enhancing natural waste decomposition, the Pirana System reduces pollution, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional septic solutions ✔ Cost-Effective & Long-Term Solution – Avoiding major septic system failures can save thousands in repair and replacement costs. The Pirana System extends the lifespan of your septic tank, making it a smart investment for homeowners and businesses Is the Pirana System Right for You? If you are experiencing any of the following issues with your septic tank or soakaway, the Pirana System may be the perfect solution: Frequent septic tank emptying Slow drainage in sinks, toilets, or showers Water pooling near your soakaway area Bad odours coming from your septic system Overflowing wastewater causing environmental hazards Many property owners across Ireland are turning to the Pirana System as a reliable, cost-saving alternative to expensive soakaway replacements or full septic system overhauls Trust Drain Medic for Expert Septic Tank Solutions At Drain Medic, we are always looking for innovative drainage solutions to help our customers save time and money. We are proud to introduce the Pirana System to Ireland, offering an effective and sustainable way to manage septic waste.

A smelly shower drain can be an unwelcome nuisance in your home. Understanding the causes and solutions for this common issue can help you maintain a fresher, cleaner bathroom environment. In this blog, we’ll explore why your shower drain might smell and provide practical tips to address the problem. Causes of a Smelly Shower Drain A shower drain that emits unpleasant odours often signals an underlying issue. Common causes include: Soap residue and Hair Build-Up: Over time, soap residue and hair accumulate in the drain, creating a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Dry P-Trap: The P-trap—a curved pipe beneath your drain—is designed to hold water and block sewer gases. If it dries out, foul smells can escape. Mould and Mildew: Damp conditions in your shower can lead to mould or mildew growth, contributing to unpleasant odours. Sewer Issues: In more severe cases, odours may come from issues within the sewer system itself, caused by blockages or damage. How to Get Rid of Shower Drain Odours When facing a smelly drain, several steps can help resolve the issue: 1. Clear the Drain Remove visible debris like hair or soap residue. Pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar into the drain, followed by hot water, to break down any remaining residue. 2. Refill the P-Trap Pour water into the drain if it hasn’t been used for a while. This ensures the P-trap is properly sealed to prevent sewer gases from escaping. 3. Tackle Mould or Mildew Clean around the drain with a mild bleach solution or other anti-mould cleaning agents. Always ventilate the bathroom well during this process. 4. Seek Professional Help If odours persist, the problem could be deeper within the plumbing system. In such cases, contacting a professional such as Drain Medic is the best course of action. Preventing Future Drain Odours To keep your shower drain odour-free, follow these simple practices: Clean the drain regularly to prevent debris buildup. Flush the drain weekly with hot water to clear minor residue. Avoid pouring greasy or oily substances into the shower drain. Ensure proper bathroom ventilation to minimise mould growth.

At Drain Medic our civil division has been working hard to resolve serious drainage issues for businesses dealing with flooding caused by failing soakaway drains. When heavy rain falls and water has nowhere to go it can lead to large areas being submerged disrupting operations and creating significant inconvenience. Standing water can affect access points damage surfaces and create potential safety hazards for staff and customers When faced with a site where the soakaway drains had stopped functioning properly our team stepped in to provide a permanent and effective solution. We installed two new surface water gullies designed to efficiently channel excess rainwater into the main drainage system preventing further water buildup and ensuring a smooth drainage flow. By connecting these gullies to the main system we created a long-term solution that will keep water levels under control even during extreme weather conditions Once the new drainage system was in place our team restored the area by re-tarmacking the affected surface leaving no trace of disruption. After installation we carried out a full clean-up washing down the entire site to ensure the space was left in excellent condition.

Learn about soil vent pipes (SVP): their importance, installation, maintenance, and when to use them. Expert tips from Drain Medic included.

Blocked sinks, baths, showers, urinals, and grease traps can be a major inconvenience, especially when dealing with small bore pipework. Unlike larger drainage systems, small bore pipes require a specialised approach—using high-pressure water jetting can be too intrusive and may even cause damage to the pipework. Since many of these pipes are located internally, any damage could lead to costly repairs and further disruption to your property or business. At Drain Medic, we specialise in safe and efficient small bore pipework cleaning and clearing, using state-of-the-art electro-mechanical equipment to restore full water flow without risk to your system. Why Small Bore Pipework Requires a Different Approach Small bore pipes are commonly found in domestic and commercial properties, often carrying wastewater from sinks, showers, urinals, and grease traps. These pipes are typically narrower in diameter than standard drainage systems, making them more susceptible to blockages caused by: ✔ Grease and food debris buildup in kitchen sinks ✔ Hair and soap scum accumulation in bathroom drains ✔ Limescale deposits in shower pipes ✔ Urine crystallisation in urinals ✔ Fat and oil deposits in grease traps Since these pipes are delicate, high-pressure water jetting can be too forceful, potentially leading to leaks or pipe breakage. Instead, electro-mechanical cleaning technology offers a safer, more targeted method to effectively clear blockages without risking damage. How Drain Medic Clears Small Bore Pipework  At Drain Medic, we use advanced electro-mechanical drain cleaning machines to safely remove blockages from internal and external small bore pipework. Here’s how our process works: 🔹 Step 1: Remove Traps & Assess the Blockage – We begin by removing pipe traps and inspecting the cause of the blockage to determine the best approach for clearing the pipework. 🔹 Step 2: Electro-Mechanical Cleaning – Using specialist rotary cable machines, we insert flexible cutting tools that break down and remove blockages without damaging the pipe. This method is highly effective for clearing grease, scale, and other stubborn deposits. 🔹 Step 3: Restore Full Flow & Reassemble Pipes – Once the blockage has been completely removed, we restore the pipework to full flow, reassemble the traps, and ensure everything is functioning properly. Benefits of Electro-Mechanical Cleaning for Small Bore Pipework ✅ Safe & Non-Intrusive – Unlike high-pressure water jetting, electro-mechanical cleaning is gentle on pipes and avoids potential damage to internal drainage systems. ✅ Highly Effective on Small Bore Pipes – This method is designed specifically for narrow pipework, making it ideal for blocked sinks, baths, showers, urinals, and grease traps. ✅ Fast & Cost-Efficient – Our expert technicians can quickly identify and remove blockages, saving you time and money on expensive repairs. ✅ Minimal Disruption – Since electro-mechanical cleaning is non-invasive, there’s no mess, no flooding, and no need for major pipework alterations. ✅ Ideal for Domestic & Commercial Properties – Whether you’re a homeowner, restaurant owner, or facility manager, our small bore pipework cleaning service ensures your drains stay clear and fully operational. Common Small Bore Pipework Issues We Resolve 💧 Blocked Sinks & Kitchen Pipes – Food debris, grease, and fat buildup can cause slow-draining sinks and unpleasant odours. 💧 Blocked Baths & Shower Drains – Hair, soap scum, and limescale can clog bath and shower pipes, leading to standing water. 💧 Blocked Urinals – Urine deposits and scale accumulation can lead to slow-draining or completely blocked urinals. 💧 Blocked Grease Traps – Commercial kitchens often experience grease trap blockages due to fat, oil, and grease (FOG) buildup. If you are experiencing any of these issues, Drain Medic is here to help. Contact Drain Medic for Expert Small Bore Pipework Cleaning At Drain Medic, we have years of experience providing specialist drainage solutions across Ireland. Whether you need an urgent blockage cleared or regular maintenance for your internal pipework, our expert technicians are available 24/7 to assist. 📧 Email: info@drainmedic.ie 📞 Phone: 01 505 9494 Don’t let blocked small bore pipework disrupt your home or business.

Blocked drains and grease traps can be a costly and frustrating problem, particularly for businesses in the hospitality and food service industries. Frequent blockages lead to expensive callouts, downtime in your kitchen, and unpleasant odours that can disrupt your work environment. If you’re constantly dealing with drainage issues, Drain Medic has the perfect solution for you. At Drain Medic, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers improve their drainage systems while also reducing costs. Our latest innovation, Sink Screen Filters, In-Sink Straining Baskets, and Food Filters, is designed to significantly reduce blockages and maintenance expenses, keeping your kitchen or wash area running smoothly. How Can Sink Screen Filters Help You Save Money? Traditional drainage maintenance can be both time-consuming and expensive. Frequent blockages in sinks, grease traps, and commercial kitchen drainage systems can lead to costly repairs, operational disruptions, and hygiene concerns. Our Sink Screen Filters and Straining Baskets provide a simple yet highly effective solution by preventing food particles, grease, and debris from entering your drainage system in the first place. These innovative filters capture waste at the source, preventing it from accumulating inside your pipes or grease traps. This dramatically reduces the frequency of blockages, meaning fewer callouts, less downtime, and lower maintenance costs. The Benefits of Installing Sink Screen Filters and Straining Baskets ✅ Reduces or Eliminates Drain Blockages Food particles and grease buildup are the most common causes of blocked drains. By using our filters, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate the number of blockages in your sinks and grease traps. ✅ Eliminates Bad Odours When food waste accumulates in your drains and grease traps, it begins to decompose, creating foul smells that spread throughout your kitchen. By filtering out food at the source, our Sink Screen Filters help keep your drainage system clean and odour-free. ✅ Prevents Flies and Pest Problems Standing food waste in grease traps can attract flies, rodents, and other pests. By capturing food waste before it reaches the grease trap, our system reduces pest issues, creating a cleaner, more hygienic environment for your kitchen staff and customers. ✅ Minimises Kitchen Downtime and Disruptions Blocked sinks and drainage systems can bring your kitchen to a standstill, causing disruptions in your daily operations. By preventing blockages before they start, our filters help keep your kitchen running efficiently. ✅ Extends the Life of Your Plumbing and Grease Traps Frequent blockages put strain on your plumbing system, leading to premature wear and costly repairs. Our Infra Filters and Straining Baskets help protect your plumbing and grease traps, extending their lifespan and reducing your long-term maintenance costs. ✅ Handles Large Volumes of Food Waste Our Infra Filters are designed for high-traffic kitchens. Customers have reported capturing up to 500 grams of food waste in an 8-hour shift, preventing it from reaching the grease trap and reducing the need for frequent grease trap cleaning.

In today’s fast-paced world, home and commercial maintenance tasks often get overlooked. One crucial aspect that frequently goes unnoticed is regular drainage inspections. Many property owners don’t think about their drainage system until they experience blocked drains, slow drainage, or even flooding. However, proactive CCTV drain inspections can prevent these issues by identifying potential problems before they escalate into costly repairs. Drain Medic offers advanced CCTV drain survey services, allowing us to thoroughly inspect your drainage system and detect any hidden issues. Whether you’re dealing with persistent drainage problems or simply want to carry out routine maintenance, a professional drain survey can provide valuable insights into the condition of your system. Why Invest in a CCTV Drainage Inspection? A CCTV drain inspection is a non-invasive, highly effective way to assess the condition of your drains. Using state-of-the-art camera technology, our team at Drain Medic can conduct a detailed survey of your drainage system, pinpointing any existing or potential issues. Some of the most common drainage problems we detect during inspections include: ✔ Blocked Drains – Over time, debris, grease, and other materials can accumulate in your drainage system, leading to blockages that cause slow water flow or backups. A CCTV inspection helps identify early signs of blockage before they cause a major issue. ✔ Root Ingress – Tree roots often seek out moisture and can penetrate your drainage pipes, leading to severe structural damage and obstructions. CCTV inspections allow us to detect root ingress early, preventing costly repairs in the future. ✔ Rodent Activity – Drainage systems can sometimes provide an entry point for rodents into your property. A CCTV drain survey can help identify potential access points, allowing for effective rodent prevention measures to be put in place. ✔ Structural Damage – Cracks, leaks, and misaligned pipes can lead to drainage inefficiencies and even flooding. CCTV surveys provide a clear visual report of any structural weaknesses in your drainage system, enabling targeted repairs before they worsen. ✔ Flood Prevention – Regular drainage inspections help ensure your system remains clear and functional, reducing the risk of flooding caused by blockages or damage. The Benefits of a CCTV Drainage Survey A professional drain inspection offers several advantages: ✅ Accurate Diagnosis – The real-time footage captured by our CCTV cameras provides a precise assessment of your drainage system’s condition. This helps us quickly identify any existing issues or potential risks. ✅ Cost-Efficient Solutions – By detecting problems early, you can avoid expensive emergency repairs. A CCTV drain survey allows us to recommend the most cost-effective and long-term solutions tailored to your drainage system’s needs. ✅ Detailed Reports & Recordings – Our surveys are recorded, giving you a clear visual reference of any drainage issues. These reports are useful for insurance claims, property sales, or planning future maintenance work. ✅ Ideal for Property Buyers – Thinking of purchasing a home or commercial property? A CCTV drain survey gives you valuable insights into the condition of the drainage system before you commit. This helps avoid unexpected drainage problems and costly repairs after purchase. When Should You Schedule a CCTV Drain Survey? While regular drainage maintenance is always recommended, certain situations make a CCTV inspection especially important: ✔ Recurring Drainage Issues – If you experience frequent drain blockages, slow drainage, or foul odours, a CCTV inspection can uncover the underlying cause. ✔ Buying or Selling a Property – Whether you’re purchasing a home or selling a commercial property, a CCTV survey provides a transparent assessment of the drainage system’s health. ✔ Post-Flooding or Water Damage – After experiencing water damage or drainage issues, a survey helps determine the extent of the damage and what repairs are needed. ✔ Suspected Structural Problems – If you notice cracks in your walls, damp patches, or shifting ground near your drainage system, a CCTV drain survey can help diagnose potential underground drainage issues. ✔ Routine Maintenance – Even if you don’t have immediate drainage concerns, scheduling regular CCTV surveys can prevent future problems and give you peace of mind.

As the autumn months roll in, so do the falling leaves, bringing with them the risk of blocked drains and potential flooding. Outdoor drains are particularly vulnerable during this time of year, as leaves and other debris accumulate, restricting water flow. If not addressed promptly, these blockages can lead to significant damage—including flooding inside your home—causing unnecessary stress and expense. Fortunately, with a few preventative measures and the right professional assistance, you can keep your drains clear and functioning properly. In this article, we will discuss some key steps you can take to prevent leaves from clogging your drainage system and how Drain Medic can help if you encounter any issues.
