What is Pipe Descaling And How Does it Work?
Pipe descaling is the process of removing buildup from the inside of pipes. This buildup can be caused by a variety of things, including mineral deposits, rust, and grease.
The types of pipes on your property can affect the degree of scaling. For example, cast iron pipes face more intense scaling than PVC pipes. Their inner surfaces often get coated with magnesium salts and iron oxide.When a thick layer of rust and mineral deposits forms inside a pipe, it begins to grab passing solids. After a while, the pipe gets either clogged or blocked.Pipe descaling helps to prevent these problems by removing the buildup from the inside of the pipes. This allows water to flow freely through the pipes and prevents clogs and other problems.
PROCESS
Descaling is a non-invasive method of removing the dense, rusty scales that have accumulated inside cast-iron pipes over time, through the use of professional descaling equipment. The tool used specifically for this purpose consists of a metal rod with a chain link attachment. This attachment sends the chain link head spinning, using centrifugal force to keep it centered inside the pipe to thoroughly clear the inside of your drain or sewer line of any buildup, without compromising the pipe’s integrity. It’s also designed to provide extra protection for descaling cracked or damaged lines.
Paired with a hydro-jetting rod that sends high-pressure water blasting, keeping the chain link attachment lubricated, this process scrapes off mineral buildup and flushes it out at the same time, leaving your pipe looking and working like new. This equipment includes attachments for all types of pipes making this fully adaptable and suitable for any descaling job. Give us a call for your free estimate 786-346-9807
