Commercial Sewer Snaking in Calgary: Keeping Your Business Flowing

Sewer or drain snaking is a crucial maintenance procedure that helps prevent and resolve blockages in your commercial property's sewer lines.

Our experts use a steel cable with a coil at one end, called an auger, to clear out a drain. The auger is inserted and extended into the pipe to eliminate blockages. In most cases, the auger is much longer than the pipe, so you don't need to worry about length concerns.

When to Consider Sewer Snaking for Your Business?

Regular sewer snaking is essential for maintaining the health of your commercial plumbing system. Here are some signs that indicate it's time to schedule a sewer snaking service:

Slow-draining sinks, toilets, or floor drains.
Gurgling sounds from plumbing fixtures.
Foul odors emanating from drains.
Water backing up in multiple fixtures.

For businesses in Calgary, proactive sewer maintenance is crucial. Regular sewer snaking can prevent costly issues like backups, leaks, or persistent unpleasant odours. These problems can significantly impact your business operations, potentially leading to:

Health hazards for employees and customers.
Disruption of daily business activities.
Damage to property and inventory.
Negative customer experiences and potential loss of business.
Costly emergency repairs and potential fines for code violations.

Investing in routine sewer snaking protects your business from these risks and ensures a smooth, efficient operation.

The Importance of Sewer Drain Cleaning for Calgary Businesses

While sewer snaking effectively clears blockages, comprehensive sewer drain cleaning further maintains your commercial plumbing system. Sewer drain cleaning involves thoroughly cleaning the entire sewer line and removing blockages and built-up debris, grease, and mineral deposits that can accumulate over time.

Step-by-Step Process

The process of sewer drain cleaning using a snake is fairly straightforward. The process will usually be:

The plumber will insert the end of the snake into the mouth of the blocked drain.
The cable is fed into the drain either with a hand crank or by a motor.
The plumber extends the cable until it reaches the clog.
Once there, the snake operator releases more cable or cranks it back. Extending the cable with enough force can break through the clog or dislodge it from the pipe. Pulling it back can also remove the clog through the drain’s opening.

Understanding the Difference: Sewer Cleaning vs. Drain Cleaning

It's important to distinguish between sewer cleaning and drain cleaning:

Drain cleaning typically focuses on clearing blockages in individual fixtures or small pipe sections within your building.
Sewer cleaning addresses the main sewer line that connects your property to the municipal sewer system.

Regular sewer drain cleaning is crucial for commercial properties due to the higher volume of waste and the potential for more diverse types of debris entering the system. This comprehensive approach helps prevent issues before they start, saving you time, money, and potential business disruptions in the long run.
