Electric drain cleaners are commonly available with cable lengths of up to 40 metres (125\u00a0ft).<\/p>\n Advantages<\/strong> of electric drain cleaners include the ability to clean long sections of sewer drain, the ability to remove solid objects such as tree roots and jewelry, and ready availability through hardware stores and tool rental counters.<\/p>\n Disadvantages<\/strong> of electric drain cleaners include high relative cost and weight, and the considerable physical effort that may be required to control the cable.<\/p>\n Safety considerations<\/strong> for electric drain cleaners include the requirement to wear work gloves and eye protection, to carefully control the cable during operation to avoid overstressing it, to use appropriate caution when working around rotating machinery, and to use properly grounded electrical outlets.<\/p>\n A sewer jetter<\/strong> is composed of a controlled high-pressure water source such as a pressure washer<\/a> or reciprocating displacement pump<\/a>, a flexible high pressure line (called a jetter hose) of up to hundreds of metres (several hundred feet) in length, and a nozzle that uses hydraulic force to pull the line into sewer drains, clean the sides of pipes, and flush out residue.<\/p>\n Portable sewer jetters<\/strong> and pressure washer sewer jetter attachments<\/strong> are primarily used by service personnel and homeowners to remove soft obstructions throughout the length of a building’s sewer drain and to prevent the recurrence of clogs by cleaning the sides of drain pipes and flushing out residue. Pressure washer sewer jetter attachments are generally lower in cost and weight than electric drain cleaners with an equivalent reach, and can present a lower risk of scratching plumbing fixtures. <\/span> <\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Truck and trailer-mounted sewer jetters<\/strong> used by municipalities and larger service companies benefit from the high hydraulic horsepower delivered by powerful displacement pumps and so can remove tree roots and other solid obstructions.<\/p>\n Advantages<\/strong> of sewer jetters include the relative ease of penetrating long sewer lines and the ability to remove residue that accumulates along the sides of sewer pipes, thereby reducing the need for subsequent drain cleaning.<\/p>\n Disadvantages<\/strong> of pressure washer sewer jetter attachments and many portable jetters include an inability to extract tree roots and other hard obstructions. Disadvantages of truck and trailer mounted sewer jetters include high relative cost and weight, and the requirement for extensive training to comply with manufacturers’ safety guidelines.<\/p>\n Safety considerations<\/strong> for sewer jetters include a requirement to wear protective gloves and eye protection, to avoid contact with sewer drain fluids, and to ensure that the jetter nozzle operates only inside the sewer pipe. <\/span> <\/span><\/a><\/sup> Furthermore, larger truck and trailer-mounted units that operate with sufficient power to cut tree roots require extensive training and strict adherence to manufacturers’ safety guidelines to avoid serious injury.<\/p>\n Enzymatic drain cleaners<\/strong> contain bacteria cultures and concentrated enzymes that react with organic residue that builds up on sewer pipes, dissolving the residue to help prevent slow-running drains. Most enzymatic drain cleaners are intended for general maintenance to maintain proper flow and are not intended to clear fully clogged drain pipes.<\/p>\n Advantages<\/strong> of enzymatic drain cleaners include relative safety for use in a wide range of plumbing fixtures, low environmental impact, low cost and ease of use.<\/p>\n Disadvantages<\/strong> of most enzymatic drain cleaners include longer cleaning times compared to most other drain cleaners. Because enzymatic cleaners rely on liquid flowing through the pipe to disperse, they are also generally not intended to open completely clogged drains.<\/p>\n Safety considerations<\/strong> for enzymatic drain cleaners include a requirement to avoid contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin.<\/p>\n A plumber’s snake,<\/strong> sometimes known as a “toilet jack” or “electric eel”, is a flexible auger<\/a> used to remove clogs in plumbing<\/a> that cannot be loosened with a plunger<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most devices consist of a coiled metal wire<\/a> with space between the coils at the end. The other end is attached to a device with a crank<\/a> that rotates the wire as it moves down into the pipe. Drains are cleared by one of several mechanisms:<\/p>\n The auger should be turned clockwise only, unless it has become jammed in the drain. Not only is this essential for retrieval of foreign objects, but for the longevity of the cable<\/p>\n Grease traps<\/strong> (also known as grease interceptors<\/strong>, and grease recovery devices<\/strong>) are plumbing<\/a> devices designed to intercept most greases<\/a> and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. Common wastewater contains small amounts of oils which enter into septic tanks and treatment facilities to form a floating scum<\/a> layer. This scum layer is very slowly digested and broken down by microorganisms in the anaerobic digestion<\/a> process. However, very large amounts of oil from food production in kitchens and restaurants can overwhelm the septic tank or treatment facility, causing a release of untreated sewage into the environment. Also, high viscosity fats and cooking greases such as lard<\/a> solidify when cooled, and can combine with other disposed solids to form blockages in drain pipes.<\/p>\n Grease traps have been used since the Victorian era. They are used to reduce the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOG\u2019s) that enter the main sewers. Effectively they are boxes within the drain run that flows between the sinks in a kitchen to the foul sewer system. They only have waste water flowing through them and are not served by any other drainage system such as toilets. They can be made from a number of different materials; e.g. Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Plastics, Concrete, Cast Iron and can hold anywhere between 40 liters to 45000 liters and above. They can be located above ground, below ground, inside the kitchen or outside the building.<\/p>\n A septic tank<\/strong>, the key component of the septic system<\/strong>, is a small scale sewage treatment<\/a> system common in areas with no connection to main sewage pipes provided by local governments or private corporations. (Other components, typically mandated and\/or restricted by local governments, optionally include pumps, alarms, sand filters<\/a>, and clarified liquid effluent disposal means such as a septic drain field<\/a>, ponds, natural stone fibre filter plants or peat moss<\/a> beds.) Septic systems are a type of On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF). In North America<\/a> approximately 25% of the population relies on septic tanks; this can include suburbs and small towns as well as rural areas (Indianapolis<\/a> is an example of a large city where many of the city\u2019s neighborhoods are still on separate septic systems). In Europe they are generally limited to rural areas only.<\/p>\n The term \u201cseptic\u201d refers to the anaerobic bacterial<\/a> environment that develops in the tank and which decomposes or mineralizes the waste discharged into the tank. Septic tanks can be coupled with other on-site wastewater treatment<\/a> units such as biofilters or aerobic systems involving artificial forced aeration<\/a>.<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Periodic preventive maintenance<\/a> is required to remove the irreducible solids which settle and gradually fill the tank, reducing its efficiency. In most jurisdictions this maintenance is required by law, yet often not enforced. Those who ignore the requirement will eventually be faced with extremely costly repairs when solids escape the tank and destroy the clarified liquid effluent disposal means. A properly maintained system, on the other hand, can last for decades and possibly a lifetime.<\/p>\n Wastewater<\/strong> is any water<\/a> that has been adversely affected in quality by anthropogenic<\/a> influence. It comprises liquid waste discharged by domestic residences, commercial properties, industry, and\/or agriculture and can encompass a wide range of potential contaminants and concentrations. In the most common usage, it refers to the municipal wastewater that contains a broad spectrum of contaminants resulting from the mixing of wastewaters from different sources.<\/p>\n Sewage<\/strong> is correctly the subset of wastewater that is contaminated with feces<\/a> or urine<\/a>, but is often used to mean any waste water. \u201cSewage<\/a>\u201d includes domestic, municipal, or industrial liquid waste products<\/a> disposed of, usually via a pipe<\/a> or sewer<\/a> or similar structure, sometimes in a cesspool emptier<\/a>.<\/p>\n The physical infrastructure, including pipes, pumps<\/a>, screens, channels etc. used to convey sewage from its origin to the point of eventual treatment or disposal is termed sewerage<\/a>.<\/p>\n Human waste<\/strong> is a waste type usually used to refer to byproducts of digestion<\/a>, such as feces<\/a> and urine<\/a>. Human waste is most often transported as sewage<\/a> in waste water through sewerage<\/a> systems. Alternatively it is disposed of in nappies (diapers<\/a>) in municipal solid waste<\/a>.<\/p>\n Human waste can be a serious health hazard, as it is a good vector<\/a> for both viral<\/a> and bacterial<\/a> diseases. A major accomplishment of human civilization has been the reduction of disease transmission via human waste through the practice of hygiene<\/a> and sanitation<\/a>, including the development of sewage systems and plumbing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Human waste can be reduced or reused through use of waterless urinals<\/a> and composting toilets<\/a> and greywater<\/a>. The most common method of waste treatment<\/a> in rural areas where municipal sewage systems are unavailable is the use of septic tank<\/a> systems. In remote rural places without sewage or septic systems, small populations allow for the continued use of honey buckets<\/a> and sewage lagoons (see anaerobic lagoon<\/a>) without the threat of disease presented by places with denser populations. Honey buckets are used by rural villages in Alaska<\/a> where, due to permafrost<\/a>, conventional waste treatment systems cannot be utilised.<\/p>\n other websites we recommend you look at<\/strong><\/p>\n www.asap-plumbing.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If the auger cannot break up or dig itself into the clog, the clogged section of the pipe (which can usually be located by measuring the length of the auger that has gone into the pipe) may have to be replaced by a plumber<\/a>.<\/p>\n A set of drain rods<\/strong> is plumbing<\/a> equipment used to attempt to unblock drains<\/a> and sewers<\/a>. The set normally consists of several stiff, but flexible, rods, each approximately one metre long, which may be screwed together end-to-end. In addition the set usually has one or two unblocking tools, which may be a flat plate or an auger<\/a>, which can be screwed onto one end.<\/p>\n The screwed together rods and tool are inserted into a drain or sewer from an access point, sometimes referred to as a rodding point<\/em> or cleanout<\/em>, and used to attempt to dislodge a blockage. Rodding<\/em> is the act of using a drain rod.<\/p>\n It is usual to use a twisting motion to facilitate progress of the rods. It is important, no matter which way the rods are being moved (towards or away from the blockage) to ensure the twisting is in the direction to tighten up the screw connections, as unscrewing the rods whilst in situ<\/em> in the drain or sewer is rarely useful.<\/p>\n An auger<\/strong> is a device for moving material or liquid by means of a rotating helical<\/a> flighting. The material is moved along the axis of rotation. For some uses the helical ‘flighting’ is enclosed in a tube, for other uses the flighting is not encased. An integral part of a drill<\/a>, the auger of the drill bit<\/a> uses this mechanism to remove shavings from the hole being drilled.<\/p>\n FREE ESTIMATES<\/p>\n Jacksonville\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Duval County\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 904-346-1266 GAINESVILLE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ALACHUA COUNTY\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 352-335-8555 EMAIL <\/strong>LARRY@1STPROP.COM<\/a> (feel free to email your bidding packages here)<\/p>\n other websites we recommend you look at<\/strong><\/p>\n www.asap-plumbing.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n www.asapgasinstallers.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n www.dirtandsandforsale.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n www.asaproofinspections.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/allprogas.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/asapbackflowtesting.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n
