Sewer Pipe Cleaner: Overview and Usage

Maintaining clean sewer pipes is crucial for the smooth operation of a home’s drainage system. A sewer pipe cleaner is a product or tool designed to remove blockages and build-up in the sewer lines, preventing backups and potential damage. Here’s an overview of the types of sewer pipe cleaners, their usage, and some tips for choosing the right one for your needs.

Types of Sewer Pipe Cleaners

  1. Chemical Cleaners:
    • Caustic Cleaners: These contain chemicals like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide that can dissolve clogs made of grease, fats, and other organic materials by generating heat.
    • Acidic Cleaners: More powerful than caustic cleaners, acidic cleaners are used for severe blockages. They contain sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid to break down tougher clogs.
    • Oxidizing Cleaners: Containing substances like bleach or nitrates, these cleaners react with the organic material in the clog to oxidize and clear it.
  2. Enzymatic Cleaners:
    • These cleaners use natural enzymes and bacteria to break down organic waste in the pipes. They are eco-friendly and safer for pipes and septic systems but may take longer to clear blockages.
  3. Mechanical Tools:
    • Plumber’s Snake or Drain Auger: A flexible, coiled metal wire that can be pushed through the sewer line to physically break up and remove clogs.
    • Hydro-jetting: A professional cleaning method that uses high-pressure water streams to blast away blockages and residue lining the pipe walls.

How to Use Sewer Pipe Cleaners

  1. Chemical Cleaners:
    • Read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully.
    • Pour the recommended amount into the main sewer line cleanout, a pipe usually found in basements or on the exterior of the house.
    • Allow the cleaner to work for the specified time before flushing the pipes with plenty of water.
  2. Enzymatic Cleaners:
    • Pour the cleaner into the toilet or directly into the cleanout pipe.
    • Leave it to work overnight for best results, as these cleaners work slower than chemical types.
  3. Mechanical Cleaning:
    • For a plumber’s snake, insert the tool into the sewer cleanout pipe and push it through until you feel resistance, then rotate it to break through the blockage.
    • Hydro-jetting should be performed by professionals due to the high pressures used, which can damage pipes if not handled correctly.

Choosing the Right Sewer Pipe Cleaner

  • Consider the Type of Clog: Chemical cleaners are effective for grease and soft blockages, while mechanical methods are better for roots or hard obstructions.
  • Assess the Pipe Material: Older or fragile pipes may be damaged by chemical cleaners; in such cases, enzymatic or mechanical cleaning is safer.
  • Environmental Impact: Enzymatic cleaners are the best option for those looking for an eco-friendly solution.
  • Severity of the Blockage: Severe and recurrent blockages might require professional cleaning methods like hydro-jetting.

Keeping sewer pipes clean is essential for preventing backups and ensuring the longevity of your home’s plumbing system. Whether you choose chemical, enzymatic, or mechanical cleaners, it’s important to use them correctly and safely. For persistent or severe drainage issues, consulting with a professional plumber is recommended to determine the most effective and safe cleaning method.

FAQ

Sewer cleaning is the process of removing obstructions, build-ups, and debris from sewer lines to ensure proper flow and prevent backups or blockages.
Regular cleaning prevents blockages, minimizes wear and tear on pipes, reduces the risk of sewage backup into the property, and ensures the efficient functioning of the sewage system.
It depends on several factors, including the age of the system, usage patterns, and previous blockage history, but generally, a cleaning every 18 to 22 months is recommended for residential properties.
Indicators include slow draining fixtures, frequent clogs, sewage odors, gurgling sounds from drains, and water pooling around floor drains.
Common methods include hydro jetting, where high-pressure water is used to clear blockages, and mechanical rodding, which uses a motorized tool to physically break up blockages.
DIY methods can address minor clogs, but professional cleaning is recommended for thorough maintenance and to prevent damage to the sewer lines.
Hydro jetting is a method that uses high-pressure water streams to remove blockages and buildup inside sewer lines, effectively clearing the line without damaging the pipes.

We got drain clogged in the kitchen sink. I found POM Group on google and call them. They said plumber will come within an hour. When he arrived and checked our kitchen sink drain he said that it all rusted out and needs to be replaced. After plumber cleared drain he replaced all necessary parts of drain. Everything was done professional and clean.
I would like to say thank you to POM Group for responding so quick to our problem.

We are pleased to place the first review for the POM Group! We were doing a big project in our house involving basement waterproofing, installation of sump pump and also installation of back water valve on our main line as our neighbors were suffered from sewer back up several years ago and wanted to make sure that our house is protected from all of these disasters. We were asking multiple companies to come to our house and investigate what would be the best solutions for our particular case. When POM Group representative arrived the filling that finally right person is here appeared from very first moment

Adam Ross

POM was prompt, courteous and thorough. We would recommend to anyone. We had a backwater valve installed. I called Sunday, got a quote Monday, has the work done the following Monday (including issuing of building permit).
