Keeping your drains and pipes flowing

When it comes to taking care of your home, the little things often make the biggest difference, especially when it comes to your pipes and drains.

Encircle Housing has seen first hand how blocked drains can cause problems; from disrupting your daily routine with repair work and costs, to environmental damage. Within the last two years, we have spent a considerable amount of money clearing blockages, and many could easily have been prevented.

That is why we are inviting you to make a few small changes that can have a big impact by keeping your drains clear, protecting the environment, and helping us all save time and money.

We have put together a handy guide to show you exactly what Encircle Housing is responsible for, and how you can play your part in keeping your sinks, toilets, drains and pipes in top condition.

Let us work together to keep things flowing smoothly for your home, your community, and the planet.
