Sewer Jetting & Sewer Flushing Trucks
Why it is Important to Flush Sewers Regularly
Sewer systems need regular cleaning, especially during storms when an abundance of debris tends to collect in sewer drains. Sewer line cleaning uses high-pressure water nozzles to effectively flush out dirt, litter, sludge, and any other form of garbage from pipelines.
The sewer flushing process is performed by professionals who are trained to properly operate the machines and deal with any issues that may arise.
Why It Must Be Done: City maintenance organizations regularly perform maintenance of flushing sewers to ensure that the sewage system functions reliably. In many cases, sewer systems may be over a century old and will need regular cleaning and maintenance work to keep them in working condition.
What to Expect When Sewer Cleaning Work is in Progress: A sewer truck is utilized to service several miles of pipelines that run underground. These may be exclusive jetting or vacuuming trucks or a combination of the two systems.
Jetting releases water at high pressure to dislodge dirt and debris and flush it into containment vessels. Vacuuming uses a system of air-based pressure to suck out dirt and collect it for disposal. Combination sewer cleaners employ both of these systems; the water removes the dirt and the vacuum sucks it up.
Sewer lines in a city are cleaned primarily block by block. The process is handled by experts who man the machine and ensure that the process is functioning efficiently. This is especially applicable in combination cleaning trucks; one person mans the jets and the vacuum, while another is positioned at the end of the pipeline being cleaned. He will indicate when the water nozzle has reached the end of the pipeline or if there is an obstruction in the way.
A clean neighborhood is often a collective effort between the residents and the maintenance organizations. Residents are encouraged to work with these sewer maintenance crews in preventing the collection of debris.
