Some Causes of Blocks and the Solutions through Drain Cleaning
All buildings need to be provided with clean water and effective draining of waste so that internal activities will run smoothly. With a proper drainage system of waste, the owners and tenants of a building are ensured of a healthy and safe environment.
There are circumstances that would have drains blocking. In order to carry out drain cleaning, you would then need the services of a skilled plumber. If the wastes will be properly drained by this technician, you will be assured of a clean environment in your building.
We would resort to drain cleaning of our building when at one point or another drains are blocked. Blocked drains are caused by many circumstances. One reason is that there could be foreign objects that are too big to pass through the drains that are flushed in toilets. There could be hairs that are washed down the sink and have accumulated in the drainage pipes resulting to blockage. Know that grease and fatty substances too that are washed down the sink could get stuck on the sides of the drainage pipes causing blockage.
Other situations that would result to drain blockage are leaves of plants which are not properly swept off and disposed in the garbage that could make their way into the drainage pipes, and also the roots of trees that can crack the pipes in order to get the water they need, and the cracking of pipes would lead to a drain blockage.
A plumber can perform drain cleaning with the use of a hydrojetter. This gadget releases water which is under high pressure and will remove any dirt that is causing blockage in the drain. Lowering the hydrojetter into the drain, the plumber pushes it until it reaches the area where there is a blockage. The blockage are then broken down into small particles because of the pressurized water, particles attached on the sides of the pipes are removed, thus allowing wastes to freely flow without obstruction.
Another method to solve drain blockage is the drain snake, which is a long and flexible cord that is made up of wires, and these are pushed down the drain to the area where there is blockage. With a motor, the wires would be turned making the objects causing obstruction to breakdown into smaller particles, then these particles are pushed down the drain also allowing wastes to flow freely down the drain.
In order to conduct an efficient drain cleaning, the plumber has to be able to identify the blockage location.
