Professional Methods To Remove Difficult And Hardened Pipe Blockages

pipe with a major blockage

Not all clogs are removable with a plunger, store-bought drain cleaner, or even regular cleaning methods. Some blockages that develop over time and combine with other substances create difficult, stubborn clogs. They need professional drain cleaning in Mercer Island, WA, for effective removal and maintenance.

Difficult Pipe Blockages 

Pipes accumulate hardened grease, mineral deposits, and other stubborn buildup inside.  Household tools or common methods simply can’t remove them. Buildups that don’t get removed reform or create even worse clogs. 

These blockages cause slow drains, foul odors, backups, and pipe damage. These severe clogs require specialized equipment and techniques to eliminate them without damaging the pipes.

Deeply embedded obstructions and hardened limescale from mineral-heavy water constrict the pipes. Thick grease layers solidify and cling to pipe walls. They build up with various particles and debris. 

These tough clogs are not removable by routine drain cleaning services. Professional-grade tools and techniques are necessary to break through these dense deposits and clear them for proper drainage.

Professional Pipe Blockage Removal

A persistent clogged drain needs professional diagnosis using pipe video inspection. This pinpoints the blockage, what it is, and the best removal method. 

Different non-dissolvable clogs, such as hardened soap residue, scale, mineral deposits, or foreign objects, require mechanical equipment to dislodge the obstruction. Drain snaking targets spot blockages with added precision. 

Stubborn layers of grease, sticky substances, and compacted debris are also difficult. Technicians recommend hydro jetting. The high-pressure water blasts away grease, mineral buildup, and sludge throughout the pipe. It’s also an effective maintenance cleaning tool for thorough interior cleaning.

For deeply rooted or longstanding blockages, a rooter service is the effective solution. It uses rotating blades to cut through tree roots and tough obstructions that have grown into the sewer line. Similar are heavy-duty mechanical augers or power-assisted cutters that break apart dense material.

A skilled drain cleaning company might use a combination of approaches to address these tough blockages. A combination of methods or using different ones often works for a complete restoration.
