With over 100 years of combined sewer and stormwater experience, we know that sewer drains tend to be messy places. But why? Because sewers are designed to move water as quickly and efficiently as possible from your home or business to the nearest treatment plant. Anything that gets in the way of a speedy flow through a sewer system creates an obstruction for water to flow through. Anything that is not water but is not sewage either will settle and decompose over time, or it will be removed by a cleaning device such as a sewer cleaning machine. Sewer cleaning is an essential part of any sewer system inspection. In the past, sewer cleaning was reserved for only the most extreme cases, but thanks to new technology and innovation in this field, sewer cleaning is now a more accessible and commonplace service provided by most sewer inspection companies.
If you have ever tried to clean your own sewer line or know someone who has, you know how difficult and time-consuming it can be. If you have ever tried cleaning a sewer line, you know how difficult and time-consuming it can be. But why is that? Well, sewers are designed with water in mind. They are made to channel water away from buildings and businesses and into a system that will treat it and send it back out to sea. The unfortunate problem is that while water is a natural enemy of most things, people are not one of them.People produce many waste products that are not natural to sewage treatment plants. They are also messy and can clog up a sewer line very quickly if they are not removed and prevented from entering the system in the first place. This is where sewer cleaning comes in.Sewer cleaning is the process of removing material from a sewer line that should not be there. It is not a normal part of the sewer's design process. This material can come from a wide range of sources, including people, pets, weeds, roots, leaves, paper, fabric, and many others. Anything that gets into the sewer system that is not sewage can cause problems. Over time it will decompose and create a build-up of scum that can cause a blockage and reduce the effectiveness of the entire system.
Sewer systems consist of a network of pipes which are designed to channel sewage and waste water from buildings and businesses to a nearby treatment plant. Unfortunately, the pipes that make up a sewer system can become clogged with debris and other material. There are many ways that this can happen, but here are some of the most common causes. Overloaded or faulty sewer lift station: One of the most common causes of sewer system blockage is an overloaded sewer lift station. If a sewer lift station is overloaded, it will not be able to handle the amount of water flowing through it, and the flow can become clogged. This can happen as a result of heavy rains or unusually high demand for water.Inadequate disposal methods: Businesses that sell food or beverage that cannot be washed down a drain, such as doughnuts and ice cream, can create problems for a sewer system. If a business does not have any way to dispose of the food waste that results from these sales, it can accumulate and clog a sewer line.Malfunctioning or mis-sized pipes: Pipes are designed to be a certain size, but they can become clogged if they are too small for the amount of water flowing through them. This can happen if the pipes are too small for the amount of water flowing through them or if the pipes have shifted in position and are no longer where they should be.Debris from nearby buildings or trees: Debris and other material can enter a sewer system through nearby buildings or trees. This can be the result of an accident, such as a falling branch, or can be the result of poor management and maintenance, such as failing to clean out a nearby tree.
Bedsheet fasteners: Bedsheet fasteners are small hooks that are used to keep a bed sheet from falling off the bed. Unfortunately, these fasteners can clog up a sewer line and cause a blockage. They can also become a breeding ground for bacteria, making the entire system unclean and dangerous for people to use. Hair and fur: Hair and fur can cause a clog in a sewer system by attaching to other debris as it travels towards a sewer line. This can cause the hair to fill up a sewer line and create a build-up of material that can’t be removed.Paper, paper towels, and paper cups: Paper products such as paper towels, paper plates, and paper cups can clog up a sewer line. They often get stuck to other debris as they travel towards a sewer line and are difficult to remove. Food scraps: Food scraps can clog up a sewer line and cause a blockage. They will often get stuck to other debris as they travel towards a sewer line and are difficult to remove.
Berg-grids: Berg-grids are used to catch debris and material before it enters a sewer system. They are often found near construction sites where they collect debris from demolition work. They can also become clogged with material and cause a blockage in a sewer line.Cartridges: Cartridges are often used inside of sewer cleaners to collect debris. If a cartridge becomes clogged, it can cause a blockage in a sewer line.Bags: Bags are often used inside of sewer cleaners to collect debris. If a bag becomes clogged, it can cause a blockage in a sewer line.Dirt and mud: Dirt and mud are often used inside of sewer cleaners to collect debris. If a bucket becomes clogged, it can cause a blockage in a sewer line.Food scraps: Food scraps can become clogged in a sewer cleaner and cause a blockage in a sewer line.
Dunnage: Dunnage is used to transport heavy loads in ships and is made of rope. The rope can become clogged with debris and cause a blockage in a sewer line.Hair: Hair can become clogged and cause a blockage in a sewer line. Hair from pets and people can become stuck to other debris in the sewer line and be difficult to remove.
The sewer system is a crucial part of any city or town. These underground pipelines are designed to remove human waste from buildings, businesses, and homes and send it to a nearby treatment plant. However, these pipelines can become clogged with debris, such as bedsheets and food scraps, which can cause a backup and messy situation for residents.Sewer cleaning is a crucial part of any sewer system inspection.
