Highly Effective Descaling

Highly Effective Descaling

Limescale build-up can be a real problem for property owners in areas with tap water that contains high levels of certain naturally occurring minerals and mineral compounds. These substances can be deposited inside water supply lines, plumbing fixtures, and drain pipes to the point that the flow of water becomes significantly diminished or even completely blocked. Arrow Plumbing & Drain Services is standing by to tackle this all-too-common problem if it's an issue at your location.

If the issue is due to a clogging situation, drain cleaning or a hydro jetting operation may be appropriate. A recurring problem and our experts can do a camera inspection service & recommend drain repair or an extensive sewer line repair if needed.

How Does Pipe Descaling Work?

We rely on a rotating chain that we feed through the pipes so we can better scrub their interior. This breaks up the build-up so that it can be washed away easily. There are times when the build-up in pipes is so severe that even the rotating chain isn't sufficient. In such cases, pipe lining or drain replacement would be a recommendation.

    What Issues Does Descaling Resolve?

    What Issues Does Descaling Resolve?

    Descaling promotes effective pipe draining by removing the accumulated mineral deposits that trap water and disrupt the flow pattern. A descaled pipe can also accommodate more water or sewage than one that's been partially blocked by limescale build-up. Routine descaling may even help to extend a pipe's useful service life by preventing corrosion and deterioration over time.
