When the going gets tough, the pros bring out the big guns. Difficult and heavy blockages call for targeted removal using efficient heavy-duty equipment. They pair it with video inspections to add precision and accuracy to the job.
Dealing With Heavy And Difficult Pipe Blockages
For difficult spot blockages, drain snaking with sectional or continuous cable machines is effective. They help plumbing technicians with manual control and added force from the cable to target specific areas of buildup or hardened material.
Professional drain cleaning services also rely on mechanical augers with high-torque motors. These machines break through dense buildup from compacted grease, sludge, or mineral deposits. Heavy-duty models can reach deep into the pipe system. They restore flow without damaging pipe walls.
In extreme clogged drain situations caused by tree root intrusion or compacted debris, plumbers use rooter machines. These tools feature rotating blades or grinding heads designed to cut through roots and tough materials.
Combination Methods For Effective Drain Cleaning
A professional drain cleaning company also recommends a combination of drain cleaning techniques for extensive cases. Hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water, is often combined with mechanical methods for a more thorough cleaning.
Hydro jetting blasts away hardened buildups and clogs, assisting the heavy-duty snakes, motor augers, and rooters. They also clear all other pipe buildup residue for a complete clean.
When paired with flushing techniques, rooters are more effective at restoring large pipe or sewer lines. Adding enzyme treatments or descaling agents to machine tools works well for older pipe systems with layers of accumulated waste.
