What is Electro Mechanical Drain Cleaning?
The process of performing Electro-mechanical drain cleaning is easy enough. An electromechanical drain machine is a sophisticated device with numerous steel cutters and cables that are inserted in the drain. Once that’s done, the cables and cutters rip off the debris and restore the functionality of the drains.
You can use the same process to unblock sinks, urinals or any other pipe. The equipment used in performing this technique is portable and best for minor repairs. For example – cleaning pipes that do not require any high-pressure water jetting.
It can also remove concrete and limescale from the pipes. Overall, it’s a fast process with almost no room for trouble. It’s also a good option if you’re concerned about the unhygienic conditions caused due to drainage.
Why is it used?
Many people think drain-jetting is the perfect solution to every drainage issue. As it turns out, it is not. Suppose you’re clearing out the pipes from your toilet, sinks, shower voids, or so – there is a huge chance of flooding and damage due to the high water pressure.
In situations like this, opting for an electro-mechanical drain cleaning is your best bet. On another note, if your plumbing systems are present in areas of restricted access, the electromechanical system (also popularly called a ‘plumber’s snake’ for this reason) can help you pave the way amidst twisted pipework.
Some electro-mechanical drain cleaning cables also have pre-fitted springs that are ideal for cleaning and clearing the long section of drains and their corners.
