When pipes experience a significant amount of clogging, Melbourne plumbers use drainage jetting to resolve the problem. Drainage jetting is the process of removing dirt, toiletries, hair, roots and other forms of debris from pipe systems using high-pressure water jets. This technology uses a high-pressure hose with a nozzle attachment, connected to a machine that pressurizes the water. It uses a variety of nozzles or cutting heads attached to the nose, which depends on the severity of clogged drain.
To prevent damaged pipes, emergency plumbers usually assess the drainage system before using high-pressure water jets. This inspection includes using CCTV drain inspections to check the factors behind the clogging. Once properly assessed, blocked drain specialists can determine the correct pressure for drainage jetting.
Yes. Jet blasting is one of preferred methods for relieving clogs caused by debris and other objects. As a no “no-dig” solution, this method does not require excavation of pipes or removing drains to restore proper drainage. These are some of the other benefits offered by jet blasting:
Generally, it is best in clearing all types of clogged drains, including blocked sinks, blocked toilets and blocked sewers. The following instances are where jet washing is most effective:
However, drainage blasting is most preferred to relieve clogging in the main sewer and stormwater drains. It is also effective for removing the growing buildup of dirt in pipes. While they do not cause blockages instantly, letting them sit in pipes may contribute to clogging in the future. It could also limit water flow down the drain. For extreme cases in which jet blasting does not work, then plumbing excavation is recommended.
As mentioned, hydro jetting is effective in removing anything causing blockages. However, a plumber’s snake tool can also be used to clear blockages. This tool is a long metal tube with an inner cable with blades or a corkscrew auger attached to one end and a hand crank at the other. The end of the snake tool is inserted into the drain while the crank is turned, which extends the cable down the drain towards the stuck object. The plumber’s snake tool comes in two shapes – a straight tube mostly used in sink drains and a J-shaped bend best for cleaning clogged toilets. The following are advantages of using a plumber’s snake tools:
Unclogging services generally cost between $150 to an upwards cost of $750 + depending on the severity of the blockage. If further repairs are required then the total cost of the service will increase.
