A sewer standpipe is a vertical pipe that connects the plumbing systems of different floors of the building to the central sewer system. Through this pipe, water and waste move from top to bottom, mainly from plumbing fixtures such as toilets, sinks, bathroom traps, etc.
Naturally, the standpipe plays an important role in the proper functioning of the sewage system, as it ensures the efficient flow of waste and water to the central sewer line.
Why does a standing sewer pipe get clogged?
The main reason for clogging of the sewer pipe is the accumulation of residues, namely grease and oil, hair and soap residues, etc. Clogging can be caused by aging pipes or tree roots encroaching on the pipe. Food debris, paper and grease collect inside the pipe and prevent the water from flowing properly. Over time, fat and oil deposits form a thick layer that eventually leads to complete blockage of the pipe. Hair and soap scum often accumulate in bathtubs, which also impede the flow of water. In addition, old or damaged pipes that slowly fill with sediment or rust often cause problems with the sewer system. Tree roots can penetrate into sewer pipes and seriously damage the structure of the pipe, which completely blocks its operation.
Cleaning the sewer pipe with a rope
Cable cleaning is an effective method used to clean hard-to-reach and seriously contaminated pipes. A special steel cable goes inside the pipe and rotates to remove the waste. The flexibility of the rope allows the clogged pipe to be cleaned quickly and efficiently.
Pressure cleaning of the sewer pipe
Pressure cleaning is ideal when large amounts of debris and plaque build up inside the pipe. A high-pressure jet of water quickly and easily removes and washes away debris. This method is particularly effective for seriously contaminated pipes, because thanks to the high pressure, the residues are completely washed away, and the pipe is restored to its proper functioning.
Cleaning the sewer pipe by flushing
During flushing, the tube is completely washed from the inside by means of a strong stream of water. This method ensures the complete removal of waste accumulated inside the pipe, which allows the system to work for a long time and properly. Flushing is especially effective for preventative cleaning to prevent future pipe blockages.
