One of the largest plumbing concerns in any household involve drains and the smooth flow of waste from the home. Most clogged drains are simple problems that can be fixed by a plunger or cleaning the drain trap. Of course, not everyone knows the details to removing and cleaning the trap under the sink or even that the pipe was designed to collect debris. That’s why there are companies like Drain King who are experienced in a variety of Sewer Minneapolis MN treatments.
Cleaning the pipe trap under your sink usually involves removing the pipe, but this will require a bucket to catch any excess water which could drain from the sink or back from the pipe. There are two large nuts holding the curved piece of pipe in place. These are normally secured with a washer to avoid leakage under the sink so some care should be taken when loosening them. The largest problem for most people when cleaning the trap is over tightening the nuts and crimping the rubber washer. This can normally result in a leak whenever the sink is drained.
Drain clogs cover a variety of problems. For example, large clogs in your drain line can come from years of usage. As the debris builds up at various joints and curves in the pipes it snags any solid waste that drains through the system. This allows more junk to accumulate and block the flow of waste from your drains. To locate these problems an expert in Sewer Minneapolis MN problem can use a video snake to probe the lines. This gives the plumber a real time view of the conditions of your sewage system and can indicate if cleaning is required or possible. Some lines can’t be cleaned due to broken or damaged pipes.
Cleaning of your sewage system involves a hydro-jet washing. The hydro-jet is a high pressured washer which operates similar to the car wash or pressure washers you may be familiar with. As the high pressured water washes off the built up crud any excess waste is flushed down the drain with the water. The result is freely flowing drain lines without the worry of future clogs for a while.
