A number of causes can lead to clogging of pipes in residential and commercial properties, such as accumulation of solid waste and grease, as well as foreign objects in pipes.
Sewer pipes are the system that collects and transports industrial residential waste and, therefore, they need to be free from any type of blockage in order to function as expected, which is essential for public health. To give you an idea, cholera, schistosomiasis, malaria and hepatitis are just some of the illnesses that pose a risk to humans in situations of an inadequate sewage system.
Furthermore, tree roots can block plumbing in external areas. It is also common for there to be calcification and mineralization, which increases the need for awareness on the subject.
João Sales, director of Empresa Desentupidor Profissional, a company that provides unblocker of sewage, draws attention to the fact that after construction work in apartments there are leftover materials that, if not taken due care, can end up in the pipes and cause blockages. “Another detail that must be observed concerns the inadequate slope of the pipes”, he warns.
“Furthermore, it is necessary to properly dispose of chemical products in order to avoid blockages due to the accumulation of substances that cause stones and never throw toilet paper down toilets”, he adds.
He also emphasizes that paying attention to the aforementioned precautions is essential to avoid problems, but that, if the blockage occurs, it is possible to count on a specialized company, which can use different strategies to resolve the issue. The director of unblocker lists the main techniques and tools that can be used to solve the problem in the following topics.
Manual Unblocker (Vacuum Pump) – The manual unblocker, also known as a “vacuum pump” or “rubber unblocker”, is a basic but effective tool. It consists of a rubber suction cup that is placed over the clogged drain or toilet. By repeatedly pressing and pulling on the suction cup, a vacuum is created, which helps dislodge smaller obstructions. Pipe hydrojetting – O hydro jetting is a technique that uses high pressure water to clean and unclog pipes. A hydro jetting machine directs a powerful jet of water into pipes, removing debris, grease and other obstructions. This technique is effective for cleaning sewer pipes and is often used for serious blockages. Spring Cord (or Unblocking Machine) – A spring cord is a tool that has a flexible probe at the end, designed to penetrate pipes and break up obstructions. The probe is inserted into the pipe and, as it is rotated, it breaks up and removes debris that is causing the clog. This technique is especially useful for blockages in sewer pipes. Video Camera Inspection – Video camera inspection is a technique that allows professionals to view the inside of pipes. A video camera is inserted into the pipeline, allowing precise identification of the location and nature of the obstruction – useful for accurate diagnosis and efficient troubleshooting. Pressure Suction Cups and Water Pumps – Pressure suction cups and water pumps are tools that use pressure to dislodge clogs. They are especially useful in clogging sinks and drains. The pressure created by the suction cup or pump can push the obstruction away and restore water flow. Manual Disassembly and Cleaning – In some cases, manual disassembly of parts of the plumbing may be necessary to access the obstruction. Professionals can dismantle traps, bends, and fittings to remove objects or debris that are causing the blockage. Unclogging Chemicals – Unclogging chemicals can be used to dissolve clogs caused by a build-up of grease, soap or organic residue. “However, it is important to use them carefully, following the manufacturer’s instructions, as some chemicals can be corrosive and harmful to the plumbing system,” he concludes.
