Sewer blocked up? A process
called sewer drain jetting
will
have your water flowing like new
in no time.
Sewer jetting is the process
of using high pressure and water
to bring a sewer drain line back
to like-new condition without
having to actually replace the
line. This is very
cost-effective practice, as well
as a nearly effortless task-
especially for cleaning drains
that are heavily used, even for
grease. (You aren't supposed to
be dumping that down there in
the first place!)
Anyone who has ever had to deal
with a sewer or even residential
septic tank knows all about
clogs and back-ups. Soap scum
residue, grease, hair, food,
mineral deposits and more can
all cause a drain to back up. As
much as people try to be careful
with what they send down the
tube, it is almost inevitable
that these things will at some
time pass through eventually
causing clogs. Even as careful
as you are with grease- you may
not directly dump it down the
drain- but the remaining grease
on pots, pans and plates can
cause a film that over the years
can build up and solidify.
Sometimes a simple unclogging
could do but after masses of
build-up and too frequent
blockages, perhaps a good sewer
jetting would be a more
effective method that will also
last plenty longer.
There are special pressure
washers designed specifically
for this purpose, called
sewer jetters. They can
clean the pipes leading from
sinks and bathtubs leading to
the tanks, even those at long
distances, which is especially
helpful in the case of
industrial piping. The
sewer drain jetting work at a high
pressure, between 172 - 275 bar
(2500-4000)psi
and 13 - 90 lpm (3 GPM to 20 GPM). The
pressure can be adjusted
throughout the job as needed.
These machines use a
special nozzle that gets
down into the drains to loosen
and cuts the clogged materials
that are obstructing the
pathways. This essentially
scours the pipes clean and then
washes the debris back up to be
removed, usually through a
vacuum pump.
What
size
sewer
drain jetting hose do I use?
1" - 4" pipe lines use 1/8"
size jetter hose
2" - 6" pipe lines use 1/4"
size jetter hose
5" - 10" pipe lines use 3/8"
size jetter hose
8" - 12" pipe lines use ½"
size jetter hose
10" or larger pipe lines use
¾" size jetter hose
