A blocked drain can be a significant inconvenience, causing disruptions to daily routines, unpleasant odours, and potential hygiene issues. Swift Solutions Plumbing Company (SSPC) specializes in providing speedy, effective, and cost-efficient solutions to such plumbing issues. In this case study, we examine how SSPC resolved a severe blockage issue at a multi-storey commercial building, showcasing their expertise, technique, unique problem-solving skills and customer satisfaction approach.
BACKGROUND
Summit Enterprises operates a six-storey commercial building comprising small businesses, offices and restaurants. In July 2020, they encountered their worst nightmare - a blocked drainage system. The disruption threw building operations into chaos, with reports of severe odour, water backup and potential health risk. The management turned to SSPC for help, hoping for a quick, efficient and long-lasting resolution.
DIAGNOSIS
SSPC's team arrived on-site within an hour of the distress call. Initial manual testing indicated that the problem was larger than a usual blockage and required extensive diagnostic procedures. Leaning on their experience and technology, their team used a CCTV drainage inspection to accurately pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage. This blockage had been caused by a buildup of grease, food waste, and a broken segment of piping that had caused the mass to backup.
IMPLEMENTATION
Once the blockage's cause was identified, SSPC formulated a two-step strategy.
In the first phase, the team applied a high-pressure water jet to dislodge the grease and food waste accumulation. The procedure was carried out with extreme care ensuring minimal disruption to the building operations and preventing any damage to the drainage system.
The second phase involved repairing the broken pipe segment, which required temporarily disabling a section of the building's plumbing system. SSPC coordinated with the building management to execute this overnight, ensuring minimal disruption to building occupants.
OUTCOMES
With SSPC’s careful, diligent, and systematic approach to the problem, the entire process took less than 48 hours, from diagnosis to the final resolution. The affected drain unblocking hayes was successfully unblocked and repaired, leading to complete restoration of normal building operations.
The management team of Summit Enterprises reported a high level of satisfaction with SSPC’s services. They appreciated the company's quick response time, effective problem-solving methods, high-quality repair, minimal disruption strategy and transparent communication. The approach to deliver services overnight was especially noted for its consideration of the building's functionality during working hours.
CONCLUSION
This case study underscores the effectiveness of SSPC's approach while dealing with blocked drains plumbing issue. By leveraging experience, adopting innovative diagnostic techniques, precise implementation, and strategic collaborative planning with clients, SSPC proved that speedy yet resilient solutions can be provided.
More importantly, this case exhibits the importance of professional, customer-centric plumbing services in maintaining normal operations and mitigating potential health risks. In the future, Summit Enterprises intends to engage SSPC’s preventive maintenance services to avoid similar scenarios.
This case study reflects one of the many ways SSPC successfully handles blocked drains and highlights the company's strengths in meeting client needs. Ultimately, it is a testament to their commitment to providing unrivalled plumbing services.
