Flushing pipes as an option to eliminate blockages in sewer

During the operation of sewage on the walls of pipes precipitates are formed, consisting of the smallest particles in the water. Over time, they accumulate in one place or over a section, which can lead to a leak, a decrease in diameter and a weakening of the flow. Some such congestion eliminates only flushing sewer pipes, the method is not the easiest, but very effective.

If you do not clean the pipes what may happen

Prevention of cleaning the sewage system is simply a must for residential apartments, where many different organic and inorganic substances enter the drain hole with water. But, as statistics show, not many owners care for pipes, most naively believe that even if there is a blockage somewhere, it will not affect them.

And now look at what can happen if the pipeline is not cleaned:

• If we are talking about heating systems, then after 7-9 years of operation, they are clogged by 40-50% by deposits deposited on the walls.. Putting a filter to remove heavy metals is simply not profitable, as the power consumption will increase.

Note! Tests have shown that even small deposits that have reached a thickness of 1-2 mm already increase fuel consumption by 20% and reduce heat transfer.

• The blockages that affect the speed of water supply, eliminate mechanically - a waste of money. Washing the sewer pipes of large diameter does not help to improve the situation, in this case it remains only to find the problem area and cut it off.
• The formation of precipitation and contamination at the joints of the pipeline usually leads to the appearance of a leak;. The usual "patch" in such situations will not help.

The consequences of the formation of perennial blockages are very deplorable, so we advise you to treat the sewerage and heating systems more closely. Of course, this does not mean that it is necessary to clean the pipeline every year, it is enough to contact the specialists once every 3-4 years. The price of the service is low, and the efficiency is quite noticeable according to the meter readings.

Hydrodynamic washing method

The option chosen by us is only one of the few effective methods of dealing with sewer blockages; for owners of country houses there are at least two more types.

However, the advantages of this method of washing sewer pipes are obvious:

• The performance of the pipeline increases several times (more precisely, the data declared by the manufacturer are preserved).
• Hydrodynamic installation can be used to remove blockages from the internal wiring of pipes, as well as for an external sewer system. At the same time, the complexity (angularity) of the wiring practically does not affect the efficiency of the work.
• For work do not use any harmful chemicals that could harm you, the environment and the pipeline itself.
• The work process itself can be called clean, since no dirt and no dust is emitted during the work.
• Well, it is worth pointing out about the savings in comparison with the dismantling and purchase of a new pipeline.

How the workflow proceeds

And now a brief instruction on the features of a hydrodynamic machine:

Note! The equipment is mainly characterized by the pressures generated, for example, some units are capable of supporting 150 atmospheres. But note that not all pipes can withstand such loads, especially if they have been in operation for more than one year.

• Since the equipment is multi-profile, usually with a cleaning machine a kit is acquired for washing pipes for various purposes: rotary, bottom, penetrating, universal and vibrating nozzle.

• One of the listed nozzles is selected according to the type of sewage system and the complexity of the blockage.
• The hose is inserted into the drain hole and moves to the resulting sewer blockage or to the required depth. The water supply is turned on and the jets hit the pipe walls in the opposite direction, this allows you to “pick up” and tear off the most solidified dirt.

Available equivalent

Washing the pipelines of water supply networks is possible not only with expensive equipment, which, in order to recoup, it is necessary to take care of the on-site sewer cleaning service. Some mini-sinks are quite capable of coping with minor blockages, and are also ideal for maintenance work. The main thing is to purchase the necessary nozzles, which will help you in the future to avoid the extra costs associated with the repair of the pipeline.

We recommend washing "Kärcher":

• They are represented in a wide price range - the owners of country houses are sure to find something suitable.
• Availability of service centers where you can easily purchase additional accessories and spare parts, as well as repair the instrument.
• Reliability and warranty of the leading manufacturer.

Conclusion

Flushing is an effective way to eliminate blockages or clear the pipeline from the presence of pathogenic bacteria in it. Of course, it is not the cheapest and it does not do it yourself, at least not having on hand a unit for cleaning. But it is worth noting the effectiveness of this method, it copes well without the use of chemicals that can harm sewage.
