Before you begin sewer unclogging repairs, first prepare the following gear::
Professional sewer dredging kit, including unclogging devices, dredging hooks, etc.
Protective equipment such as gloves, masks, and goggles.
Spare accessories such as seals and duct tape.
Before proceeding with sewer dredging repairs, the following preparations need to be made:
Close and block other outlets connected to the sewer to prevent sewage from overflowing.
Clean up your work area to ensure safety and cleanliness.
Check the site for obvious blockages, such as cement blocks or large pieces of dirt.
Before starting the dredging, it is necessary to carry out the inspection and diagnosis of the sewer:
Use a flashlight to illuminate the drain and observe for any noticeable blockages.
By observing the water level and flow rate, the location of the blockage can be determined.
If needed, a specialized sewer inspection instrument, such as a pipe camera, can be used to obtain more detailed information.
Depending on the type and location of the blockage, select the appropriate unblocking operation
For shallow blockages, a dredge can be used for quick unclogging. Insert the unclogger into the drain, press down the handle and rotate until the blockage is unblocked.
For deep or complex blockages, pipe cameras can be used for location and tools such as high-pressure water guns and unclogging hooks can be used for detailed dredging.
For stubborn blockages, it may be necessary to disassemble the pipes for cleaning or to replace parts. In this step, extra care needs to be taken to avoid damaging the pipes.
After the dredging operation is complete, perform the following testing and cleanup work:
Open the faucet and drain opening, observe the water flow, and make sure the blockage has been completely removed.
Clean up the site, including removal tools, cleaning pipes and surrounding areas.
Check the other outlets to make sure the sewer unclogging isn't causing other problems.
After the completion of the maintenance process, the fee will be charged according to the sewer dredging fee standard, and the following popular science knowledge will be provided to the customer:
Cleaning your drains regularly can prevent clogging and odor problems.
Do not dump items such as solids, grease and paper towels into the drain to avoid clogging.
Using a professional sewer filter can stop large pieces of material from entering the pipes.
In the cold winter months, care should be taken to prevent sewer freezing, which can be solved by pouring boiling water or using antifreeze.
