MANHOLE BLOCKAGES – 210 400 5111
MANHOLE CLOGGINGS. Although it may not be obvious at first, sewers and manholes, like anything else, need to be maintained and cleaned in order to function properly. Dirt, mud, sewage and debris that accumulate in a manhole can cause a number of problems. You may find it difficult to open and clean the manhole. This can create hazards as manhole unblocking is a job that should be carried out by qualified technicians.

Generally, there are two different categories of pipes that may need manhole unblocking and cleaning. Municipalities with public sewer systems and homeowners who are responsible for the section from their home to the municipal pipes. In either case, MANHOLE UNBLOCKING, CLEANING, and MAINTENANCE follow similar tactics.
Consider that sewer systems are inherently wet areas and that cleaning them by hand is not a good option for several reasons that we hope are obvious, with hygiene being the first and foremost. The use of conventional cleaning machines is also inappropriate. In this light, at “PIRAEUS BLOCKAGES” we have adopted a simple but creative strategy for manhole blockages , the high-pressure water jetting mechanism.
WATER JET PRESSURE


Sewer jetting is a method for UNCLOGGING, SEWER CLEANING and MAINTENANCE using high-pressure water jetting through specialized nozzles to remove obstructions, as well as regular maintenance to prevent overflows and sewage backflow into the building. The pressure water jetting mechanism is vital for keeping storm drains and sewer lines in working order, helping to prevent damage and mitigate further deterioration of sewers.
There are a variety of materials that can clog and damage sewer lines. Grease, oil, grease, metals, mud, dirt, and tree roots commonly clog drains and manholes. There are a variety of nozzles and other tools used for MANHOLE UNCLOGGING. The pressure washer is one of the easiest and safest methods for unclogging manholes and the entire sewer line.
How does the water jetting machine work?
A high-pressure pump supplies water to a hose reel that is fed into the pipes. This hose creates the appropriate pressure with a special nozzle to force the water flow into the drain pipes . Each nozzle is designed to direct the high-pressure water streams back and forth to the point of entry. This is done to help push the nozzle further down the line and pull the jet hose through the pipe.

PROCEDURE – MANHOLE BLOCKAGES
The work starts at the top of the drain. Our team will descend lower, using high pressure water to unclog manholes and clean the sides of the drains of any mud, buildup and debris. The low areas are only cleaned after all the drains above them have been cleaned. Roots that have entered the drain, grease and debris are removed while the manholes are thoroughly cleaned.
Well inspections are important. They allow the owner to catch potential problems as they arise and to institute preventative measures if necessary to limit future problems.
One of the biggest potential consequences of manhole and drain blockages is suction. This is the result of high pressure running through the system, which could lead to unpleasant odors or backup sewage flowing rapidly through the pipes. Our technicians will use the appropriate pressure depending on the current situation and guide you through the necessary actions to ensure that manhole blockages are always safe for your pipes.

IMPORTANCE OF CLEANING – MANHOLE BLOCKAGES
The purpose of manhole unblocking and manhole cleaning is to prevent flooding and reduce environmental impacts. When manholes are blocked, the flow of water is hindered, even stopped, increasing the pressure in the sewage system, causing problems. In addition, stagnant water and garbage in manholes produce bad odors and bacteria, causing serious pollution to the environment.
If the manholes are blocked, the pressure of the sewage system increases, the drainage is blocked and serious flooding problems may occur. Manhole cleaning is also necessary due to the complexity and special nature of the sewage system which requires higher requirements for manhole unblocking and maintenance.
Basic principles in manhole blockages
The basic principle of manhole unblocking is to remove standing water and solid waste from the manholes. The cleaning process requires the use of professional tools and skills to ensure completeness and effectiveness. Before manhole unblocking, an inspection should be made to determine if there is any serious damage or leakage. If these problems are found, they should be repaired immediately.
For manhole unblocking, professional tools and skills such as suction pumps, high-pressure water guns and cleaners are required. These tools must be properly maintained to ensure their normal operation. Cleaning the inside of the manhole requires the use of tools such as high-pressure water jetting to remove debris and dirt, which helps prevent sewage discharge and environmental pollution.
Manholes are an important part of the sewer system and manhole cleaning is essential to maintaining the normal operation of the sewer system. The correct steps and procedures for manhole unblocking and cleaning can effectively reduce flooding and environmental impacts.


Frequently Asked Questions
MANHOLE BLOCKAGES
A manhole is an infrastructure used to collect and remove water, either from rainfall (stormwater) or from wastewater (domestic or industrial). Its purpose is to prevent flooding and facilitate proper drainage of water, while maintaining hygiene and safety in urban and industrial areas.
Common signs of a clogged drain include difficulty draining water, standing water around the drain, bad odors, and “gurgling” sounds from the pipes. If you notice any of these signs, it is likely that the drain is clogged and needs cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the type and use of the sump. In areas with increased vegetation, it should be cleaned at least once a year, ideally in the fall after the leaves have fallen. In industrial or very humid areas, cleaning may need to be done more frequently.
Manholes can become blocked by a variety of factors, including leaves, mud, tree roots, grease, trash, and other debris that accumulate over time. Inappropriate use of the sewer system, such as dumping non-biodegradable materials, can also contribute to blockages.
