Methods of sewage treatment: when and why?
A well-functioning sewage system is necessary for any space to function properly. Clogged sink pipe , sewer pipe, toilet, etc. It can cause many unpleasant problems. Today I will tell you what causes the sewer pipes to get clogged and what methods are used to clean them.
When is it necessary to clean the sewer?
The need to clean the sewers appears when the pipes no longer carry water well, are often clogged and you feel an unpleasant smell. Several circumstances can cause pipes to get stuck, which we will talk about below:
Accumulation of waste
Today, the most common reason for sewer blockages is improper waste processing. When larger-than-normal debris, such as grease or food, gets into the pipes, sediment begins to build up. Especially quickly, the structure of grease is transformed from liquid to solid, which leads to accumulation of residues and impermeability of pipes. As a result, we have clogged pipes that either can’t carry water at all, or poorly, and cause the collapse of the entire system.
Getting foreign objects into the toilet
Unfortunately, not so few use the toilet as a “garbage dump” and to remove waste. For example, they flush things like wet wipes, cotton buds, hair and other hard objects down the toilet. Waste accumulates in the sewer pipe, takes up a lot of space and prevents water from flowing. Special attention should be paid to wet wipes, plastic and diapers, since the substances contained in these items break down very slowly and it causes the toilet to clog .
obsolescence of lines
Sewer cleaning may be necessary even if we are dealing with old pipes. Old pipes are often and easily damaged: joints and joints open, corrosion and other mechanical damages appear. Pipes lose strength over time, which is why older pipes are more vulnerable to even minor damage. Because of this, in extreme cases, it is necessary to replace them completely.
What methods are used in sewage treatment?
At Handymen, we use several sewer cleaning methods:
1. Sewage cleaning with a rope
Cleaning the sewer with a rope is a traditional and one of the popular methods. At this time, a special steel cable is used, which enters the pipe and rotates to remove sediments, grease, hair and similar waste. The cable’s length and flexibility allow it to easily enter clogged pipes and effectively clear debris.
This method works effectively when the problem is caused by the accumulation of food residues, grease or various types of sediment. Sewage is cleaned with a rope when the amount of waste is large and cannot be removed without mechanical force.
2. Pressure cleaning of sewage
Sewer cleaning with pressure is a relatively modern method that uses water under high pressure to clean clogged pipes. At this time, a jet of water enters the pipes and removes the accumulated waste. Pressure sewer cleaning works particularly well in difficult clogged pipes, as water pressure allows you to reach depths that cannot be reached by mechanical methods.
Using pressure, we completely remove sediments and residues and ensure the proper functioning of the sewage system for a long period of time. The use of this method is particularly effective in the case of large systems, such as, for example, commercial facilities and residential complexes, where the risk of pipe blockage is high.
3. Sewage cleaning with a pneumatic device
Sewer cleaning with pneumatic device is an innovative method that uses air pressure to clean the pipe. A pneumatic cleaner is a special tool that quickly drives air through the pipe and removes debris from the pipe walls.
This method is especially effective when the debris is tightly packed in the pipe and the mechanical cable cannot reach it. The pneumatic device effectively cleans depths that cannot be reached by other methods.
4. Sewage cleaning by flushing
In case of flushing, water is used to clean the sewage. However, it differs from pressure washing in that it involves completely flushing the pipe. This method is especially effective when the pipe is full of debris that can be flushed out.
Flushing allows the substances accumulated inside the pipe to be completely expelled, sediments are cleaned and the pipe is not clogged. Unlike previous methods, sewage cleaning by flushing is a regular procedure used to ensure that the pipe is always functioning properly and does not cause problems in the future. Handymen services for companies and residents of Tbilisi include sewer cleaning using traditional and modern methods.
