Mineral scale in drain pipes

How to recognise it

Mineral deposits and accumulated uric scale can narrow some waste and soil lines, creating a hard rough surface that catches further debris.

• Hard crusted deposits are visible
• Flow has declined over a long period
• The problem persists after soft debris is removed

Removal and prevention

Professional mechanical descaling can restore bore while allowing the operator to control and verify the work.

Address leaks and maintenance needs, and verify pipe condition once heavy deposits are removed.

• Match the tool to the pipe and material
• Verify full flow after clearance
• Investigate a fast recurrence
• Change disposal or maintenance habits where relevant
