I'm writing this for piping professionals in Orlando Florida, but this information is fairly universal.
Often, the first choice for pipe system cleaning is a poly pig, sometimes simply called "Pipe Pig". A pipe pig is a device used to scrub the walls of the pipes. Pipe pigs are available in various diameters from just inches, up to several feet. The surface of the pig that does the actual scrubbing will differ depending on the type of pipe (Steel, Concrete, PVC...) and the debris that needs to be removed. Some of the earliest pigs were straw wrapped in barbed wire. Modern technology has brought them a long way. Speaking of technology, a smart pig, that is, one with sensors and a radio transmitter, may also come in handy to verify and correct the reported location and diameter of pipes and valves, where reality and blueprints disagree. Orlando piping system engineers & managers already know that regardless of if the product is a desirable product, or that the “product” is actually some kind of waste, the pipes must be maintained or they will eventually fail. This failure might come as a gradual reduction of flow over time, or an instant catastrophic failure. Reduced flow of a product that is for sale means less dollars per second. That's bad news for the bean counters. If your system carries waste, reduced flow or a blockage can get really messy really quickly! This can be exacerbated by limited storage on the upstream / supply end. Reduced flow also costs more money in power, running your pumps harder, likely reducing their service life, leading to even more overhead cost. The saying is overused, but true: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In our case, a little downtime for proper cleaning and maintenance might avoid days or even weeks of downtime due to a complete system failure, and possibly a huge cleanup & recovery to go along with it. HYDRO JET PIPE CLEANING ORLANDO For some systems, a high power water jet will be chosen instead of a poly pig to get the best clean for your pipes. Water jets are applicable to all diameters of pipe by maintaining correct flow and pressure. High Power Water Jetting removes sediment build-up, tree roots, cooking fat, automotive grease, lime / hard water mineral scale, sewage waste and more.
