People who have problems with a drain will often have the drain blockage removed but then wonder why the problem keeps reoccurring. Drain blockages can be removed quite effectively using drain jetting methods but the drain jetting will not remove the rough edges and hardened built up deposits in the drain. These can only be removed by using a specialist descaling machine that can descale the relevant section of drainage pipe completely.

Drain blockages are often caused because the drain has rough edges caused by the scaling up of pipes due to mineral deposits. If the pipe is descaled, the drain will function far more effectively and hence future blockage removal and repair can be minimised.

How does descaling work?

A specialist cutting head, that is the same diameter as the pipe, is fed into the drainage system. The rotating head is fed into the drain system and scrapes away the rough edges and left over mineral deposits leaving a smooth surface. The scale is removed via an access chamber or using drain jetting and hence the pipe is restored to its full fluid carrying capacity.
