✅ If you need help quickly, you can find all the information about our Berlin drain cleaning emergency services on our AAA-Abfluss homepage.

1. Schedule regular inspections

Pipes wear out over time - deposits, corrosion or roots in the sewer can cause long-term damage.

✅ Tip: Schedule a TV camera inspection at least once a year to detect problems early and avoid expensive emergency interventions. You can find out how this works in our blog article “How does a TV camera inspection work?”!

2. Carry out preventive pipe cleaning

Stubborn deposits of grease, limescale and dirt build up gradually. If action is only taken when a blockage occurs, the damage is often already extensive.

✅ Tip: Professional pipe cleaning at regular intervals prevents blockages and reduces repair costs in the long term. Read our blog article “How often should you have your pipes cleaned?” to find out more!

3. Educate tenants about correct use

Many pipe problems are caused by improper use - leftover food, grease, hygiene products or wet wipes often end up in the drains.

✅ Tip: Distribute information leaflets or put up notices to inform tenants about correct disposal methods.

4. Emergency plan for pipe blockages

If an acute blockage or water damage occurs, quick action is required. However, emergency services are often expensive and not always reputable.

✅ Tip: Work with reliable specialist companies and keep their contact details on file for emergencies. This will help you avoid excessive costs from dubious providers.

5. Check backflow flaps and protective measures

In the event of heavy rainfall or pipe blockages, wastewater can flow back into the building from the sewer system. This can cause considerable damage, especially in underground garages and basements.

✅ Tip: Check regularly whether backflow flaps are working properly and have them serviced or replaced if necessary.

Conclusion on the tips for property managers

Many pipe problems can be avoided with preventative measures, regular maintenance and tenant education. Well-organized property management saves time, money and hassle - and ensures satisfied tenants!
