Thousands of businesses across Gloucestershire were forced to close as a result of the Coronavirus, but as restrictions finally begin to ease, a thorough drainage inspection may be essential. 1st Drainage Gloucester can help.

As the spread of the Coronavirus took hold in the United Kingdom in early 2020, the Government were forced to announce a lockdown that included the outright closure of many businesses in Gloucestershire. Hotels, Bars, Restaurants, and many other commercial enterprises within the food, hospitality, and leisure sectors were given no option but to shut their doors for an indefinite period of time.

Several weeks later, with the virus hopefully starting to come under control, a carefully phased re-opening of businesses is due to start, but whilst the immediate threat of Covid-19 may be something that is now manageable, there are still other hidden germs that can cause serious health and safety concerns.

As managers and business owners get to grips with social distancing rules, outside café’s and bars could be the first to re-open, followed by limited capacity restaurants and hotels. Many of these establishments have been left unattended for months, and this could cause problems.

If water is left to become stagnant, it can breed its own harmful bacteria quite separate, but no less harmful than Coronavirus. Legionella and other diseases may be transferred to humans if drainage has been left unattended for too long. It is essential that business owners are sure that the water supply is safe.

To begin, managers should run taps and make sure that water is circulating as it should be.
