Why Choose Hydro-Flushing?

Hydro-Flushing is a tried and true technique in drain line clearance, and it’s the first choice of an Edenflo technician when there’s a problem with your sewer or storm water removal system. It offers many benefits over traditional mechanical means of clog removal.

Hydro-FlushingHydro-Flushing involves introducing water into the pipe at a very high pressure, dislodging both the clog and any accumulated sediment in the line all at once. The result is a drain line that is completely clear of debris, not just the removal of a single clog. Any material that doesn’t flow out to the sewer system is collected by the vacuum in our combo truck and removed that way. You are left with a system that is nearly as clean as it was when you installed it.

Because there’s no mechanical component, there are no errant metal tools involved in the process that can damage your drain system. No surprise repairs.

All Edenflo technicians are trained and experienced in the use of Hydro-Flushing equipment and methods. They can accurately assess the needs of your specific property and drainage system, and set about work in a way that will solve your problem in the shortest time, at the smallest cost.

Hydro-Flushing is a more efficient, effective, and economical way to solve the problems of a clogged sewer or septic line. It’s also useful as a preventive technique. Hydro-Flushing on a regular basis will ensure that your waste and storm water removal system will work as intended for years to come.

Use Hydro Excavation and Hydro Flushing to Safely Expose Sensitive Utilities

Hydro evacuation is a fast process that uses specialized water evacuating equipment that can quickly vacuum up debris, sludge, dirt, and silt safely. The process can be completed until the required depth and width has been achieved. The process of hydro evacuation offers a non-destructive solution that incorporates pressurized water and a high level vacuum system as an easy solution for digging.

The process of hydro excavation also creates a quick way to visually observe any existing underground utility that could be harmed in a traditional evacuating (digging) process. It can significantly outperform all traditional excavators, augers, and horizontal impact drilling rigs. Typically, a conventional digging project would require bulldozers, augurs, bobcats and shovels. Every one of these tools can cause significant damage to many of the hidden utilities including electric cables, optic cables, water mains, sewage pipes, and most importantly, gas pipes.

Minimizes Construction Delays
Many times, construction needs to be delayed, when an unexpected underground utility is located during the construction phase of any small or large project. This is where the process of hydro flushing and hydro evacuation can safely expose the sensitive utilities.

Because the equipment has the ability to use non-destructive methods to evacuate most holes sizes, it can be used to quickly set signpost, utility poles, concrete forms, and anchors in the exact position where required, without any potential to damaging sensitive underground utility or wires.

Because the system can so quickly evacuate all loosened debris, silt and sludge it provides the optimal working area. It minimizes the extensive restoration costs to bring the site back to its original condition.

The hydro flushing equipment also has the ability to remove any buildup scaling, sludge or debris from the interior of a pipe or drain to remove the blockage immediately.

Property Managers: Schedule Hydro Flushing to Remove Blockages

The drainage pipes in older structures often require expert attention, especially when there is a need to blow out drain lines. Many property owners across British Columbia deal with a variety of plumbing issues where the water lines are not properly feeding the structure with enough pressure, or the drain system simply has built up layers of crusted debris making it impossible for the sewage to pass.

Assessing the Problem
Using advanced equipment, a trained technician can inspect and evaluate the problem. They can use high-pressure flushing equipment to thoroughly clean out any line from ½ inch in diameter, up to 8 foot wide storm drains. By using hydro equipment, the property manager can avoid the need to tear up drain lines and water lines that might be penetrating through the structure’s foundation.

Debris Sludge and Grease
Usually, the single largest cause for any drain line blockage in a commercial or residential property is due to the buildup of debris, sand, sludge or grease, or a combination of two or more components. By using high pressure water jetting, the technician can easily penetrate the grease and emulsify it. The process also breaks up any debris and sludge and is even powerful enough to pulverize roots. The jetting water can also cut away any of the hardened packed scale and flush out the entire system.

The process of using high pressure water flushing equipment is very economical, highly efficient, and safe for the environment. It is the most effective way to clean out sewer and drain pipes.

Routine Maintenance
When used as a preventative measure, hydro flushing offers an easy way to prevent against the buildup of mineral deposits and grease, along with intense scaling caused by decomposing debris and sludge. Any clogged can cause significant problems that could easily cause significant loss to revenue and customers.
