High Pressure Pipe Cleaning Yields Best Results

Copyright (c) 2010 Gerry StringerThere is a trick to using a plunger, and even when used correctly, it can only do so much for your drain and sewer pipes. Clogged drains are a common household problem requiring plumbers' services. It's usually due to a build up of hair in the pipes. Drains seem to be clogging faster now that more people are using powerful tooth whitening toothpaste. The power these whitening pastes promote doesn't seem to be cleansing in the way baking soda was for drains, back when baking soda was a popular tooth whitening solution.The secret to using a plunger on a sink is while working the plunger, cover the vent on the sink with a damp cloth. It's the only way to get the suction to lock down.If your drains and pipes have a plunger-resistant clog, don't reach for the Drain-O unless you want to risk permanent damage to the pipes. Chemically-based cleaners can eat away at the inside of the pipes resulting in slow leaks that become big headaches.Rather than burning out the clog with chemicals, there's a better way. High pressure pipe cleaning. Using extremely high pressure water, pipes up to 36" in diameter can be ridded of debris, root growth and calcite.The type and size of debris dictates whether high pressure water cleaning is the most effective choice. The water output of a 1-inch hose can reach 200 gpm producing upward of 2,000 psi. The water pulls suspended debris back to the manhole as the hose is pulled through the pipe. It can then be removed by hand or vacuumed. Water downstream may be pumped into a special filtering system to capture the debris.Of course pipe cleaning is assisted by a camera scope before the pipe cleaners begin their work. The camera scope can diagnose the cause of the clog and the type of debris. After the work is done, a post-treatment camera scope can confirm that the debris has been evacuated, eliminating the chance of another clog developing soon afterward.It plain makes sense to use high pressure pipe cleaning whenever possible, if you think about it. Not using chemicals means you will be at no risk of polluting your water system. It also extends the lifetime of the pipe system as chemicals eat away at the insides of the pipes no matter what they're made of, clay to PVC. Water is a natural resource and its power in green remediation of clogs has never been more appreciated than it is today.
