Unblocking and cleaning of pipes. Should it be done on a regular basis?

Pipelines, a system in constant use

Every time you turn on the tap, flush the toilet or use an appliance, pipes work silently to carry water and debris out of your space. Over time, the debris that builds up can become a silent threat – a clog that will take you by surprise.

Imagine those layers of grease, soap and food waste acting like a ‘clogged artery’ in your system. The result? Water doesn’t flow as it should, and eventually, your system screams for help. This problem not only affects daily comfort, but can also cause structural problems if not addressed in time.

Why is regular maintenance necessary?

This is not just about preventing a one-off blockage; we are talking about ensuring that the pipes remain functional for years to come. Regular cleaning is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Here’s a clearer picture:

Detecting problems before they become urgent

A slow drain or a faint unpleasant odour could be the first signs of a major problem. Regular inspection can identify blockages before they become costly emergencies. In addition, this type of check helps to locate cracks or wear and tear in the system that could evolve into more costly repairs.

Maintaining a constant flow

Notice how it takes longer for the water to run down the drain? That sluggishness is an indication of internal build-up. Cleaning the pipes ensures that water flows as it should, without interruption, and avoids situations such as sewage back-up, which can be a serious problem in communities or commercial spaces.

Avoiding further damage

A blocked pipe can lead to cracks, leaks and, in extreme cases, a complete replacement of the system. These repairs are costly and disruptive. Proper maintenance not only prevents these problems, but also protects the infrastructure of your home or business.

Positive impact on sustainability

A clean and efficient piping system consumes less energy for pumping and processing water. This translates into a lower environmental impact and reduced operating costs in the long run.

Signs that it is time to act

While regular maintenance is ideal, there are times when pipes need immediate attention. Take a look at:

• Water accumulates in the sink or shower.

• Strange odours appear near the drains.

• You hear gurgling noises when you turn on the tap.

• You notice wet spots on walls or ceilings, which may indicate internal leaks.

• Increase in water bills for no apparent reason.

If you recognise any of these signs, it is time to contact a professional before the problem worsens.

How is professional unblocking and cleaning carried out?

At this point, you might wonder how a professional tackles these problems. It’s not just a plunger and a bit of effort. Modern processes include:

1. Camera diagnostics

The technology makes it possible to inspect the inside of pipes without dismantling them. These high-resolution cameras help to identify blockages, cracks or build-up accurately.

2. Hidrojetting

High pressure water jets remove build-up without damaging the infrastructure. This method is ideal for difficult residues such as solidified grease or roots.

3. Specific solutions

Depending on the type of blockage, controlled mechanical or chemical methods are chosen that guarantee effective results without compromising the environment.

4. Preventive maintenance

Techniques such as internal coatings are applied to protect the pipes from future fouling or damage.
