Sewer and Drain Cleaning
HAMCO provides a full range of septic and sewer services from installation to maintenance to repair.
Video Sewer Inspection
We utilize state-of-the-art video equipment to inspect and diagnose your sewer problems. After locating a point of access, we insert a video probe into the sewer line. The probe is connected to an above-ground video monitor by a long, flexible cable that allows us to push the probe through your sewer line and watch for any irregularities. If we notice a pipe defect, root infiltration, blockage, or any other type of issue, we then activate the onboard radio locator on the probe, pinpointing where on your property the problem has occurred. We can then advise you on how best we can correct your sewer problems, saving you time and money. We will even provide you with a copy of the video sewer inspection on a DVD for your records.
The advantages to our customer are clear. Video sewer inspection:
- Identifies exactly what is wrong.
- Facilitates accurate estimates for the cost of repair.
- Avoids unnecessary digging and damage to your property.
- Reveals possible lower cost solutions where available.
- Helps determine whether a third-party may be responsible.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
When it comes to cleaning your sewer or storm drains, nothing works better than high-pressure water jetting. First, our technician will locate an appropriate access point. Depending upon the task, our technician will pick the appropriate nozzle and attach it to a long hose. The other end of the hose is connected to our truck's water tank and a mechanically driven high-pressure pump. The technician will then insert the nozzle into the line. The nozzle sprays water under high pressure backwards, thus propelling the nozzle and the hose forward through the line. After determining that the nozzle has reached far enough into the line, the technician will pull the hose back. Exerting up to 4,000 psi, the backwards spray from the nozzle will scour and flush the line as it is pulled back through the pipe, and will leave the pipe surfaces clean and free of grease, sludge, garbage, debris or other accumulations. It can even mitigate partial root infiltrations. After cleaning the line, we can if requested verify the results using our video inspection equipment.
We have the equipment to perform water jetting from residential jobs to municpial projects.
