Hardened deposits, limescale, and debris can build up within pipes and drains, causing the diameter of the passable passage within the drains to reduce. If this problem is left untreated, certain problems can be caused as a result, such as slow drainage, bad smells, and even drain blockages, which can be expensive to repair in the event of a leak. Let’s look at this in more detail.
Diagnosis of the problem
Professional drain descaling can be the answer to this problem, improving the water flow, ridding the drains of debris buildups, and flushing away bad smells.
There are quite a few things that can lead to blocked drains, whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or even outside. Some of the main culprits when it comes to outdoor drains are food debris, hair, and even fallen leaves and tree roots.
To begin with, professionals such as wilkinson-env.co.uk/drainage-services-cctv-surveys-midlands/cctv-drain-surveys/nottingham/ will make use of a CCTV drain survey Nottingham or your nearest location to take a closer look at what is going on inside the drains.
This is an easy, accurate, non-invasive way of looking inside the drains without the need for costly excavation work.
How does descaling work?
Once the location and nature of the blockage have been determined, descaling can go ahead. Mechanical descaling, using high-pressure jets of water, will rid the area of debris, limescale, and rust.
It can often be worthwhile having another CCTV drain survey after this process to make sure all the debris has been successfully washed away and your drains are running freely.
