What is Descaling?
Drain and pipe descaling involves removing scale buildup, rust, and minerals inside pipes and sewers. This buildup can reduce water flow and cause clogs, corrosion, and other serious plumbing issues.
What Causes Buildup?
Hard water, or limescale, is the primary cause of scale buildup in pipes. Hard water contains high levels of hard minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which do not dissolve. As hard water travels throughout your home, these minerals can settle and build up in your plumbing system over time. A great way to help prevent buildup caused by hard water is to install a water softener. A water softener removes the hard minerals from your water and has numerous other benefits.
The Benefits of Descaling Your Drain and Pipes
Descaling is a non-invasive service we offer at Alpha Omega Plumbing that can be done without interrupting your water usage. Descaling your drain and pipes can benefit your home or business in numerous ways:

The Descaling Process
Each plumbing system and build-up severity is different. Before we choose a descaling method, we will examine your pipes to determine the best approach. At Alpha Omega Plumbing, we offer a few different solutions when it comes to the descaling process:
- Tools and brushes: we can use special tools or brushes to loosen the buildup and flush out the pipe.
- Descaling nozzles: we can utilize nozzles with a chain that rotates when pressurized water flows through, which scrubs the surface of the pipe.
- Hydro jetting: this method uses high-pressure water to clean out the buildup from the pipes.
- Chemicals: for more stubborn buildup, we can utilize acidic chemicals to help dissolve buildup
