Drain blockages and solutions
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Blocked drains are a problem that is faced by many people all over the world. With the increasing population in cities, towns and even in villages, old drains struggle to deal with the quantity of waste which lead to blockages. One of the easiest ways to get rid of these problems is to call a professional cleaning service who can help to clear the blockage completely.
Here are some of the methods which are commonly used by these professional cleaners:
High pressure water jetting – This method is performed with the help of drain jetting equipment. In this method, water is pumped into the pipes and drainage lines. This helps to clean the debris and other waste materials which have accumulated in the drain for a long period of time. High pressure water jetting is one of the most used methods, as it helps to clean the pipe back to its original condition without replacing any part of the pipe.
Moreover, it is also one of the cheapest ways to unblock the drainage system. Thus, this is one of the main reasons why most people opt for this high pressure water jetting method.
CCTV surveys – A CCTV survey is undertaken by the drainage company to locate the position of the blockage so the drainage company can use the most appropriate method to unblock the drain.
