Chicago Plumber Tip #14: Water Jets Clean Sewer Drains
If you have visited this blog recently, you will see that our Chicago plumbers perform a sewer line replacement procedure known as trenchless pipe replacement. Trenchless pipe replacement is a plumbing solution and pipe repair solution for sewer pipes that are either way too old, the wrong size, or punctured by, say, a sewer root that sprouts after a rainfall.
Chicago pipe replacement differs from Chicago pipe repair in that the end result of pipe replacement eliminates all damaged piping, leaving behind only new, healthy sewer pipes. With pipe repair, a Chicago plumber may not even need to go as far as feeding an extender head down a pipe for pipe bursting. Video camera pipe inspection is often a precursor to Chicago pipe repair because it reveals with stunning accuracy the location and scope of the pipe damage or leak.
But there are yet more plumbing issues that cannot be solved using pipe replacement. For example, your shower drain is subject to body dirt, oils, skin fragments, and hair on a daily basis. When all of these materials become caked on the surfaces of your shower drains, they eventually stick to the pipes that carry waste water into Chicago sewers. As this residue accumulates, you may notice that water collects in the bathtub and stays there, instead of going down the drain. You might also notice a foul odor emanating from the clogged shower drain.
In any case, before a Chicago plumber from The Scottish Plumber would even consider pipe replacement, he or she would use high pressure water jetting to tackle the greasy residue that causes Chicago clogged drains. Our hydro jetter machine clears these types of drain blockages, so you get back to pleasant showers.
