PPM Drainage Maintenance for Yorkshire Car Parks

Car park flooding is not just inconvenient — it creates slip hazards, damages vehicles, disrupts retail tenants, and can breach environmental permits for surface water discharge. Across Yorkshire retail parks, business parks, and supermarket car parks, the root cause is almost always preventable: full interceptors, silt pits, and gullies that have not been emptied on schedule.

What PPM covers on car parks

Pre-planned maintenance (PPM) for car park drainage typically includes:

• Oil and petrol interceptor emptying — forecourt and car park interceptors
• Gully and catch pit emptying — surface water drainage
• Silt pit emptying — sediment traps on larger estates
• Interceptor cleaning — jet washing after vacuum extraction

Recommended frequencies

| Asset | Typical frequency | |-------|-------------------| | Car park interceptor | Every 3–6 months | | Road gullies | Every 6 months | | Silt pits | Every 3–6 months (more in winter) | | Petrol forecourt interceptor | Every 3 months |

Frequencies depend on traffic volume, rainfall, and site layout. We assess your site and recommend a schedule.

Benefits of PPM over reactive callouts

• No emergency flooding during peak trading hours
• Predictable costs — no premium emergency rates
• Compliance documentation — waste transfer notes on every visit
• Single point of contact for multi-site portfolios
• Consolidated invoicing across Yorkshire sites
