Step-by-Step Drain Maintenance Guide
1. Regular Inspections:
- Use Inspection Cameras: Begin by using Spartan inspection cameras to check the condition of your pipes. Look for any signs of buildup, blockages, or damage.
- Identify Trouble Spots: Note any areas that appear to have buildup or potential clogs.
2. Routine Cleaning:
- Choose the Right Machine: Depending on the size of the drain, select either the Spartan 1065 or a 300 Series drain machine.
- Prepare the Machine: Ensure your drain cleaning machine is properly assembled and ready for use. For the Spartan 1065, connect the appropriate cable and guide hose.
- Insert the Cable: Slowly feed the cable into the drain while the machine is running, allowing it to break up any debris or buildup inside the pipes.
- Operate Safely: Use the foot pedal to control the machine and keep a firm grip on the cable to prevent it from kinking or tangling.
3. Clear Blockages:
- Break Up Clogs: If you encounter a blockage, allow the machine to work on breaking it up. The Spartan 1065’s powerful motor will make quick work of tough clogs.
- Flush the Drain: After clearing the blockage, flush the drain with hot water to remove any remaining debris.
4. Preventive Measures:
- Use Enzyme Cleaners: Periodically use enzyme-based cleaners to break down organic buildup in your drains. These cleaners are safe for pipes and the environment.
- Avoid Chemical Cleaners: Refrain from using harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes over time.
5. Regular Maintenance Schedule:
- Monthly Checks: Perform a quick inspection and cleaning of your drains every month to catch and address issues early.
