Picote Pipe Cleaning and Restoration

Picote equipment provides a powerful way to clean and prepare aging drain and sewer pipes. Its rotating tools can remove heavy scale, rust, roots, mineral deposits, grease and other buildup from inside the line. Picote cleaning is especially helpful for older cast iron pipes, which can become rough and heavily scaled over time. Removing this material can improve drainage and provide a clearer view of the pipe during a follow-up camera inspection. Depending on the condition and location of the pipe, Picote equipment may also be used as part of a brush-coating process. During this service, the pipe is thoroughly cleaned before layers of protective coating are applied to its interior. This may help restore qualifying branch lines, vertical stacks and pipes located beneath floors or behind finished surfaces.
