As sewer networks age, the risk of deterioration, blockages and collapses become a major concern.

Cleaning and inspecting sewer lines are essential to maintaining a functional residential or commercial infrastructure. The question is: what is the most functional and efficient way to keep your sewer lines clean from back up and damage? The answer: The use of a Vac-Tron Mini Combo sewer jetting system.

Benefits to Sewer Jetting System Service

Sewer jet cleaning uses high-pressure water nozzles to effectively flush out dirt, litter, or any other contaminants found in underground pipelines. These machines also angle the water pressure in order to assure an effective cleaning.Water streams are directed towards the pipeline wall surfaces to produce better cleaning results while pushing the nozzle through the pipe. These machines are also suitable to fit a number of jobs including: treatment plants, laterals, manholes, meter and valve boxes, carbon filtration boxers, storm drains, and more.

A particular unit called the Vac-Tron Mini Combo (MC) sewer jetting system has the power to locate and identify underground utilities more safely. This safer practice can greatly reduce cost on the jobsite.

The Vac-Tron Mini Combo sewer jetting system is also completely self contained, has waterproof lockable curbside controls, and is considered the best filtration system in the industry.Below are four benefits to having sewer jetting system service on your home or business:

1. Reduce blockage – Sewer drain cleaning may be necessary to keep the drains flowing freely
2. Limit smells – Sewer cleaning elminates the pollutants that can enter a home or business
3. Drains need to be cleaned effectively to be free of odors; if sewers build up they may overflow and cause hygienic concerns
4. Reduce expenses- Keeping drains and pipelines clear elminate risk of sewer backup and damage to the infrastructure

Safer practices will allow your infrastructure to last longer and keep your long term costs lower.

Sewer Jetter Operating Procedures

Sewer draining can become a dangerous situation for those who are not certified. Sewer drain cleaning operators must know the maximum working water pressures in order to avoid damaging pipelines. Regulating the water pressure is dependent on the pipes material, diameter, and structural condition. Operators must also obtain repair history on a specific site before starting to clean that area.Professionals use equipment, such as the mini combo jetting system, to make sure the job is done right the first time and at a lower risk to the customer.Operators analyze each sewer before figuring out the best method on how to clean it; some pipelines may have cracked or separated allowing for debris to enter, such as sand, dirt, roots, and vegetation. The operators then manage the amount of material removed and monitor if pipe fragments are an indicator of pipe failure and may require detailed verification through a sewer inspection camera before proceeding.
