DOES YOUR CAST-IRON SEWER NEED PIPE REHABILITATION?
Pipe rehabilitation or descaling restores old cast-iron pipes’ inner surface to ensure better drainage. Cast-iron drain pipes rust overtime and create flaky residues that occupy the inner drain flow space. Due to such deterioration over time, drain flow space decreases hence the increase in the probability of drain clogs.
DESCALING PROCESS & DETAILS
Pipe rehabilitation removes the rusty scales, that have accumulated inside cast-iron pipes over time. Chain link with steel nail scrapers spins in high-speed therefore creating friction that files and scrapes the rust off the pipes. A constant high-pressure stream of water flushes rust-debris that fall to the bottom of the pipe. This procedure opens up the pipe for better flow. As a result of the removal of scales, the old cast-iron pipe resembles a new one in its look, flow, and functionality. The descaling process typically starts at the end of the drain system and continues upward toward the opening. Descaling can be a tedious process of filing the clog-creating obstructions, hydro-jetting the loose scales, and video inspecting to ensure quality work. Therefore, descaling takes patience and care and if performed correctly should be time-consuming.
TOOL
A cable inside a vinyl sleeve is the basic structure of a descaling machine. That cable is attached to the chain-link-head, tightly rigged chains with steel nail scrapers on each chain link. Inside the sleeve, the cable turns in high revolutions and the pressured water runs constantly so the cable stays functioning and lubricated. The machine has a high torque capability and its speed can be varied depending on the job.
BENEFITS
Cast-iron pipes show signs of excessive scale build up after daily use for about 35-50 years. Implementation of a thorough pipe rehabilitation process adds another 35-50 years of use if there are no structural damages to such pipes. Therefore descaling extends the life of drains pipes and helps homeowners avoid costly drain replacements. Pipe rehabilitation eliminates those flaky obstructions that trap deposits so the cast-iron pipe functions better. In conclusion, the propensity of drains clogging is minimized.

Drain maintenance, especially preventative drain maintenance (PM), tends to be overlooked and undermined. Sewer pipes tend to be ignored because they are hidden away and so are most of their issues. Needs and health of a building’s drains come to mind after serious drain issues occur and create damage to other parts of the business. It is easy for business owners, building engineers, property managers, facilities managers or anyone in charge of a commercial building to forget about the drains’ maintenance until serious issues put a halt to daily functions. Lack of visibility of the pipes can lead to us reacting to drain issues instead of focusing on preventing them. Preventative Maintenance can be used by various types of properties. However, drain pipes become clogged faster and more frequently in buildings with heavier usage. Ex. restaurants, shopping plazas, malls, hospitals, apartment complexes, dialysis centers, office buildings etc.
BENEFITS OF PREVENTATIVE DRAIN MAINTENANCE
Drain issues can waste your time, be costly, and hinder daily business. Emergency drain issues can waste your whole day or even a huge portion of your week. To avoid a headache and the waste of your time, regular and consistent drain cleaning schedule is recommended. Drain repairs or replacements can cost money that isn’t in the planned budget and can become very expensive, very quick. Preventative drain maintenance can prolong or avoid future repairs and replacements. It can help avoid expensive and unplanned costs, giving you control of your budget. Not only will emergency drain services be more expensive than preventative drain services, they also happen at unexpected times causing loss of revenue and inconvenience by hindering daily business. Preventative drain maintenance ultimately can save you time, help avoid unexpected costs, and support daily business functions. Hence, investing in PM services protects business and properties from cost and loss.
COMMON METHODS OF DRAIN CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Preventative hydro jetting is a popular method that professionals use for thorough drain cleaning. Unlike snaking, which pokes a hole in clogs to create a way for water and debris to continue down the drain, hydro jetting removes the buildups that cause the clogs. Hydro-jetters shoot out water at high speed and pressure, which flushes the drain of it’s build up, scales, and clogs. Preventative sewer inspection is the process of monitoring the sewer lines through the use of sewer camera. Such video inspections can provide you with the visuals needed to make informed decisions about your drain. Instead of guessing how the drains are flowing or waiting for them to start showing issues, video inspection gives you the power to make informed decisions that keep your building or business running smoothly.

Sewer line locating technology is used to pinpoint the direction and depth of sewer drains. This procedure is utilized to locate sewer lines that need further attention. Sewer line may need locating when repair or replacement is being considered. Homeowners intending to undertake a remodeling project may need sewer lines to be located and mapped out. A sewer camera is used to find the damaged area inside a drain and then a locator is used to pinpoint the camera’s location from above ground. A camera, inserted into the drain from a cleanout, roof access, or a toilet, visually finds the damaged surface in the sewer drain. This camera communicates with a locator. A technician then investigates the surrounding area with a locator until the camera is found. The locator can also indicate the direction and depth of the camera’s location. With the help of a drain locater, broken drains can be located without having to dig the ground.

Drain clogs are a major inconvenience. Drain backups can be highly unpleasant. Many things can lead to them as well. If you want to protect yourself from the trouble a clogged drain can cause, follow some of these simple suggestions and prolong the health of your sewer drains.
BE MINDFUL OF WHAT GOES IN…
Drains are built to carry waste out of your home, but all wastes are not meant to travel down sewer drains. If you are serious about stopping pesky drain clogs then you need to be more careful about the things that find their way inside of your drains. The basic rule is that you should not place things inside the drains that do not dissolve in water.
…KITCHEN DRAINS
Even though the kitchen sink has a ‘garbage’ disposal, do not dispose of garbage here. Throw away large items such as bones, fruit pits, pieces of vegetables, rice, pasta in an actual garbage. Large pieces of garbage may get stuck in your kitchen line or travel down to the main line.
Grease and kitchen drain just aren’t a good mix. Since grease, oil, and butter change density with temperature, they can stick to the drain’s inner surface and start catching remnants of food. Excessive amounts of grease can with time bring on sewer obstructions. This is due to the fact that plumbing systems do not have the ability to deconstruct grease.
…BATHROOM DRAINS
Soap and hair regularly meet inside of shower and bathtub drains. If not taken care of they accumulate into extensive drain clogs. They can quickly cause water to back up into the tub when in use. These clogs sometimes become so significant that you have to rely on a professional to take care of them. Use mesh screen ‘hair catcher’ to minimize the amount of hair going inside the drain and clean up the excess hair every couple of shower usage. In the toilet, do not flush anything other than body waste and toilet paper. Try to use minimal toilet paper per flush. ‘Flushable’ wipes do not dissolve very well and are not really flushable. Never flush feminine hygiene products, instead dispose of them in a trashcan.
MAINTENANCE IS EASIER THAN DEALING W/ THE ISSUE
Once a clog starts to form, the growth is exponential. As the clog gets bigger, it can catch and hold on to larger debris. Drain clogs growth means the inner surface of a drain pipe gets smaller and tighter. Eventually, to get drains back to their normal functions, a professional is required. Removing or repairing considerable obstructions can sometimes be extremely expensive, so it is in your best interest to maintain your drain’s function and always be aware of how your drain is aging. Symptoms become more obvious as drains are increasingly obstructed. If you suspect that your drain may require professional attention however you are not sure, then start by getting it inspected.
DRAIN CLOGS ALREADY FORMING? | VIDEO INSPECT
Pay attention to the signals your home’s drain is giving you. Your drain may be starting to clog if water accumulates in your bathtub, sink, toilet orif flushing one toilet causes water to bubble over at another toilet. Find out whether or not your drains are starting to clog; video inspect your sewer drains. AAJDS can provide you with a video recording of your drains.
