Pipe descaling is the process of removing mineral deposits, rust, and other buildup from the inside of pipes to restore normal water flow and drainage. Cast iron pipes tend to have more severe scaling because their inner surfaces become coated with iron oxide as well as calcium and magnesium salts. When a pipe develops a thick, uneven layer of mineral and rust deposits, it begins to snag any solids and grime that flow past the rough sections. Eventually, the pipe becomes clogged or blocked.
Pipe Assessment
Before we get to work, we'll perform a thorough video inspection of your pipes to see what kind of buildup you're dealing with. We'll determine if the issue is calcium and mineral deposits or if you have roots in the line causing blockages.
Hydro Jetting & Descaling Process
For heavily clogged pipes, we'll start with our hydro jet system to remove any blockages. Next, we use a specialized milling machine that accommodates various cable attachments to clean, descale, reinstate, degrease, and brush coat your pipes. We work with concrete, PVC, clay, cast iron and ductile pipes. The descaling nozzle scrubs the pipe and washes away the debris at the same time.
Benefits of Descaling / Pipe Restoration
Beyond preventing blockages, descaling significantly reduces corrosion within the pipes. Scale buildup not only restricts water flow but also contributes to the corrosion process, which can weaken pipes and lead to leaks or bursts over time. By eliminating this buildup, descaling helps maintain the structural integrity of the pipes, thereby extending their functional life.
