Maintaining commercial sewer systems is a critical process that requires specialized equipment and techniques.

What is Pipe Milling?

Pipe milling is a specialized technique used to clear severe obstructions and scale build-up from pipes, especially in commercial sewer systems. At Zoom Drain of New England, we use advanced pipe milling equipment to tackle hardened debris, tree roots, and mineral deposits that can significantly impact the flow and function of commercial drainage systems. This method uses a rotating, high-power cutting head that grinds away blockages and scales from within the pipe walls, restoring the line's original diameter.

Unlike basic drain cleaning, pipe milling is ideal for heavy-duty applications where traditional methods fall short. It’s particularly effective in commercial properties with extensive pipe networks, such as restaurants, warehouses, or hospitals, where uninterrupted drainage is critical. By effectively restoring pipes, pipe milling not only improves flow but also extends the life of the sewer system. For a dependable solution to tough blockages, reach out to Zoom Drain of New England!

CONCRETE AND BUILDING MATERIALS

If concrete or another building material got into your sewer line during home renovation or other DIY projects, the only choice was to replace the entire pipe. Now the technology and equipment used by our trenchless sewer repair company can remove hardened concrete and material to open your sewer line.

TREE ROOTS & GREASE

Nearby tree roots often grow into sewer pipes feeding on the nutrient rich waste. This is particularly common at the joints of pipes. While many companies suggest replacing the entire sewer line, our in-house sewer pipe milling can often remove the blockage without trenches and pipe replacement. Pipe milling used to remove tree roots saves you time and money and our trenchless sewer repair team can line the pipe after, sealing out the roots so they do not grow back.

Smooth Rust & Scale with Pipe Descaling

Over the years, cast iron sewer pipes rust and scale builds up creating a rough surface that catches waste and debris, causing messy sewage backups. Sewer pipe milling can resurface the cast iron, making it smooth again. This is also the best tool to prep lines for installing CIPP liners.

HOW RUST AND SCALE AFFECT YOUR PIPES

Rust and scale can take a serious toll on your pipes over time. As they build up, they narrow the inside of the pipes, restricting water flow and causing slow drainage. The rough surfaces created by these deposits also tend to trap debris, leading to more frequent clogs and even backups. Over time, the rust weakens the pipe's structure, increasing the likelihood of leaks or cracks, which can lead to expensive repairs if not addressed.

THE DESCALING SOLUTION

Our descaling process is an effective and precise method for restoring your pipes to optimal condition without compromising their structural integrity. The process involves using advanced equipment to remove rust and scale, leaving the pipe walls clean and smooth. This not only restores the pipes' original flow capacity but also improves water movement, ensuring your sewer system operates efficiently. Additionally, by eliminating corrosive buildup, descaling helps prevent further deterioration, significantly extending the lifespan of your pipes and providing long-lasting results.

PREPARING YOUR PIPES FOR THE FUTURE

Descaling not only resolves current issues but also prepares your pipes for future upgrades or repairs:

• CIPP Lining Preparation: The smooth interior created by descaling provides the perfect foundation for installing CIPP liners, ensuring a secure and durable fit.
• Proactive Maintenance: Regular descaling helps maintain your pipes in excellent condition, reducing the need for costly replacements or extensive repairs down the line.
