Correct cleaning of the pipework is vital if any lining or coating is to be carried out, if not done properly this will subsequently result in failure of the lining or coating, therefore we take great care to ensure this process is carried out correctly.
For plumbing systems from 15mm (0.5”) up to 50mm (2”) we use high pressure air which blows through a grit like substance, introduced through a blast pot, removing any debris from within the system into our dust collector leaving you with a like new pipe.
For systems from 40mm (1.5”) up to 300mm (12”) we use a combination of high speed spinning chains, brushes and sand papers, these allow us to tackle just about any substance we come across which may be in your system.
With our on board jetter with pressures up to 3000psi and immense water flow rate of 46 gallons per minute, we can direct high pressure jets of water directly onto the blockage. The sheer force of the water jets has the ability to actually cut through most blockages, the vacuum created by the jetting nozzle in the pipework pulls back the obstruction whilst cutting it into smaller more manageable pieces.
We can further enhance the cutting power of water using specialist jetting equipment, we have a range of drain cutting nozzles which can cut through a range of material from tree roots to concrete.
After we have inspected your drains with our cameras we are then in a position to best decide how to clean your drains. For general blockages this would be cleaned using our high pressure water jets, or if you have more serious problems such as root intrusion or hard solids then a mechanical cleaner would be our weapon of choice.
Plumbing systems are prone to calcification which can block pipework dramatically reducing the flow causing numerous problems to your system. Without the need to replace your pipework we can clean the existing bringing your system back to how it was designed to work. For smaller diameter pipes, as small as ½” inch, we clean these by forcing grit through the pipes with air flow. For larger pipes from 3” upwards the cleaning process would be a mechanical cleaner.
