Cleaning your drains can prevent any future damage, and improve the flow of water or waste to and from your home or business. However, there are several solutions that the professionals use to clean your pipes and improve their performance and lifespan. Having a problem with your drains can cause huge problems for your home or business, whether it’s just a bad smell or residents and clients being unable to use the facilities. There are also high costs involved with repair and loss of custom if you have a business. Therefore, it’s advisable that you have regular drain checks to prevent any future problems and to identify anything untoward before your drains cause you real problems and expense. Most of the time, the problems are caused by what has gone into the drain and usually it’s a build up of grease and oil along with food scraps, or items that have been placed down the toilet. The cause could also be down to structural defects or breakages caused by tree roots, corrosion or subsidence. Here are the options available to you if you are looking to employ a company to clean or unblock your drains: High pressure jetting: This is carried out by experts with the appropriate equipment. They use high pressure jetting to clean your drains with a pressure of up to 4000 psi units. This will strip hard scale from pipe walls, and cut right through the existing obstruction in your drains including thick grease concrete, resin, oil, grease, tree roots and other blockages caused by waste and items that have accumulated over a long period of time. This equipment is strong enough to strip away grease in factories, clear storage tanks and have also been used to clean the underneath of ships’ hulls so they are very powerful and effective. Drain rodding: Steel or polypropylene rods are inserted and pushed along the pipe to remove blockages by force. This results in the flow of waste or water being restored without using machinery and is a simple and quick solution. Tanker jetting: If larger sewers are blocked and causing problems to a home or business, then a tanker jet is used. This has a flow of 50 gallons per minute and is effective for removing very large volumes of debris, even if there is no mains water supply. Electro mechanical cleaning; This is where cutters and blades are fitted to rotating flexible steel cables, and inserted into the pipes to physically cut away debris including tree roots and hardened deposits. It’s much more powerful and used for severe cases of blocked drains where the other equipment and methods cannot be used. If you have Blocked Drains in Bournemouth, we’re the people to see.
