Philadelphia Professional Drain Services
Drain maintenance is one of the most important parts of facilities management in Philadelphia. Ignoring drain maintenance, cleaning and repairs can lead to a wide range of preventable, expensive problems.
These days drain maintenance services carried out by professionals are more affordable than ever. New technology and sophisticated equipment means drains can be cleaned easily and more greenly and repairs can be made in specific locations, rather than the whole pipe being replaced.
Drain cleaning
One key service provided by professional drainage services is drain cleaning. One advantage to using a contractor is that they should do a more thorough job than you could. In addition, they are able to do so in an environmentally friendly way and without using harsh, dangerous chemicals.
Having your drain cleaned regularly, through the use of high pressure jets or special lances will make sure that your drains stay free of blockages.
Cleaning can remove:
- Chewing gum
- Grease
- Accumulated waste
- Debris
- Chewing gum
Drainage CCTV
Drainage professionals can also use specialist equipment to tell you whether your drain is blocked. They can put miniature CCTV cameras down your drain to look for blockages as well as other problems.
A professional will put a purpose-made camera head down your drain. Its specialist lighting system will allow a clear image for assessment. The engineer will create a log sheet of the drain conditions and make any recommendations, as well as estimate approximate costs.
Drainage repairs
There are a number of reasons that cracked drains occur. For example, ground movement or traffic above can cause drains to crack. If cracked drains are not repaired, foul water can leak into the soil nearby and severe blockages can also occur. There are actions you can take after a drain has become cracked and you don’t have to completely replace the whole drain.
Drainage professionals can supply a number of cost-effective services if you need drainage repairs carrying out. Drain lining is much cheaper than completely renovating cracked drains. It means that a resin lining is applied to the inside of the pipe.
Another method of drain repair available is pipe re-rounding. This is used when pipes have become squashed or crumpled. Resin lining can then be added as detailed above to help the pipe retain its restored shape.
