Descaling Sewer Lines

 Descaling Sewer Lines for Preventative Maintenance

Descaling sewer lines is a critical preventative maintenance procedure designed to eliminate mineral deposits, rust, grease, and other accumulations that can obstruct the flow of wastewater. The process begins with an initial CCTV inspection to identify areas with significant build-up. Once identified, preparations are made, including notifying affected parties and ensuring all safety protocols are in place.

The cleaning process involves mechanical descaling using rotating chain cutters or scrapers, and chemical descaling with industry-approved agents to dissolve deposits. This is followed by high-pressure water flushing to ensure all debris is cleared. A final CCTV inspection verifies the effectiveness of the cleaning. Detailed documentation of the work, including before-and-after footage, is maintained to ensure any issues are reported and addressed.

Regular descaling of sewer lines helps prevent blockages, reduces the need for costly repairs, and ensures a smoothly functioning sewer system.
