Water Heater Cleaning

All water heaters should be cleaned every 1~2 years to remove sediment in the tank. If you don’t clean the tank, your faucet would be possibly clogged by the sediment

You need to shut the inlet water valve off

Open the drain valve at the bottom side of water heater and also you need to disconnect water line. Otherwise, you can’t drain perfectly because of vacuum situation in the tank. After draining all the water, reconnect the water line and open the inlet valve and drain again until the sediment comes out. If you think all the sediment is out, you can shut the drain valve off and heat the water in the tank.

DRAIN CLEANING
Checking The Clean Out
When your toilet and tub are backing up together, your main sewer would be clogged like right side picture. You can understand this situation by checking your clean out in front of your house. If your clean out is backing up, you need to clean your main sewer line.
Main Drain Backs up
f your main sewer line is backs up, your tub, shower pan and toilet will be back up but kitchen or lavatory seems no problem. Sometimes, the kitchen sewage would go to the tub. All of these symptoms come from the level of each fixture. Tub, shower and toilet are lower than kitchen sink or lavatory. That’s why you can’t see kitchen or lavatory backing up in case of main sewer line backs up. If you have no clean out, you need to pull a toilet and snake the sewer line because size of sewer line is normally over than 3” and other drain lines are less than 3” except toilet line in the house.
Kitchen Drain Backs Up
Kitchen drain is clogged by the grease. Even if you don’t throw away any grease in the drain, grease in the kitchen drain will be developed by the soapy water.
Clogged situation caused by the grease will be like right side upper picture and after snaking, lots of grease will be removed but some will be remained on the surface of the pipe inside like right side lower picture
This remained grease will get harder and harder and finally it will become like a stone. However when you use this kitchen drain, sewage will still remain between the grease like above picture. And this remained sewage will corrode the pipe
The right side picture is showing the corroded pipe due to inside grease. It will be finally leaking.
The right side picture is showing the leaking. To solve this problem, you need to clean the kitchen drain line by high water pressure

Laundry Backs Up
If your laundry drain is clogged or reduced its internal size by the grease, your wash machine sewage will back up. Some times, when your main drain clogged partially, the sewage of wash machine will back up too. Sometimes, your kitchen sewage backs up to the laundry sink because they are using one drain line and the laundry sink is lower than kitchen sink.
Toilet Backs Up
If main sewer is clogged, toilet will be backed up with the tub or shower pan. But sometimes, you can meet toilet itself backing up without any relation with the tub or shower pan. You need to clean the toilet P trap. This P trap is clogged by unexpected stuffs like children’s toy or other materials. Your strong and thick human waste can be the cause of clogging.
Shower Drain backs Up
Most of clogging cases are because of hair stocks except main sewer line clogging. There is no chemical to remove hair. You need to remove the hair by the snake.
Slow Lavatory
Most of lavatories are clogged by the grease and the hair. Even you use soap water, grease is built up. Snake will be done like right side picture but if your lavatory is back to back like the picture, you need to both P trap and snake

When you need to keep your big tree on the garden or anything else to keep from digging for changing the sewer line, you can use trenchless machine to replace the sewer line. As you can see at the right side picture, we can replace all sewer line by digging 2 holes (about 2’x2’x depth) Replacing method will be bursting old pipe and replacing new one .
