The increasing awareness of proper wastewater management is expected to drive the growth of the drainage maintenance services market in the coming years. Wastewater management refers to the process of collecting, treating, and safely disposing of or reusing wastewater to protect public health and the environment. Awareness of proper wastewater management is increasing due to growing concerns about water pollution and its effects on rivers, lakes, and marine ecosystems. Drainage maintenance services support wastewater management by ensuring that drains and sewers remain clear and functional, enabling efficient wastewater flow and preventing environmental contamination. For example, in March 2025, according to the Earthwatch Institute, a US based environmental organization, in the UK, approximately 347,000 kilometers of sewers handle more than 11 billion liters of wastewater each day. This wastewater is treated at around 9,000 sewage treatment plants before the treated effluent is discharged into rivers, estuaries, and the sea. Therefore, the growing awareness of proper wastewater management is fueling the growth of the drainage maintenance services market.

Key companies operating in the drainage maintenance services market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as eco friendly liquid drain openers to meet the increasing demand for sustainable wastewater management across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

For example, in January 2023, Drainx, a Canada based plumbing tools and maintenance company, introduced a new line of eco friendly liquid drain openers, cleaners, and maintainers available in various sizes, including quart and gallon bottles. These products use natural enzymes and beneficial bacteria to break down and remove stubborn clogs caused by hair, grease, soap, fats, and food waste.
