Pipe cleaning is actually a form of maintenance flushing, which is performed

efficiently by means of high pressure with cold or hot water which is flushed into the

pipes. The principle is to be at the forefront of the problem, so that you avoid acute

clogging of the drain. Our flushing cars are equipped with a number of special

nozzles that are used differently in relation to different needs.

Drain cleaning is done with high pressure and rotating nozzles or chains.

As the pipes age, grease, roots, rust and other deposits accumulate in the pipes. If

the drain pipe is not maintained, a blockage will eventually form which clogs the

drain. In the event of a clogged drain, the sewer will rise from the lowest point

(usually a drain) and flow into the home. This is both costly and eerie. Regular

maintenance of pipes prevents a blockage from occurring.

GREASE IN PIPES.

This occurs to a large extent on drain pipes belonging to kitchens. Grease in pipes

can be removed by using hot water and rotating nozzle. This combination is very

effective and ensures that the grease detaches from the pipe walls so that the drain

does not clog.

RUST IN PIPES

Rust is formed in old cast iron pipes. The pipe rusts and the cross section becomes

smaller. In addition, the pipe walls become extremely rough. This means that paper

etc. easily gets stuck in the pipe instead of getting the water out. By cleaning the

pipe, we remove all loose rust masses, so that the cross section becomes larger. In

addition, the hydraulic capacity of the pipe will be improved, so that the chance of a

blockage occurring is considerably reduced.

ROOTS IN THE PIPES

Roots in pipes usually occur in old concrete or clay pipes. These pipes have holes or

leaky joints, which causes the roots to sneak into the pipe after the search for

water. Over time, the tube can eventually become completely clogged by the roots.

If you have roots in the pipes, these can be removed by using a cleaner with a chain,

which cuts the roots and ensures that the drain is open again.

Pipe inspection cameras are often used in connection with pipe cleaning, in order for

us to be able to ensure that roots are removed, but also to check that the pipe quality

is maintained.

CLOGGED PIPES

Pipe cleaning can also be performed when, for example, grease, rust, concrete,

sand or other things have led to clogging. Below you see a video clip showing how

pipe cleaning takes place when this is the case.
