METHOD AND SYSTEM OF REMOVING DEBRIS FROM PIPING IN A HIGH-RISE BUILDING PLUMBING NETWORK

摘要

A method of removing debris from piping within a high-rise building plumbing network includes inserting a portion of a flexible optical device and flexible water conduit into an opening defined by a plumbing system, the flexible water conduit operably coupled to a water pressure device. The method also includes coupling an end of a vacuum conduit, operably coupled to a vacuum assembly, to the opening and producing an image of a plumbing channel defined by the plumbing system with the flexible optical device. Next, the method includes maneuvering the portion of the flexible optical device within the plumbing system until the image of the plumbing channel depicts a debris at least partially obstructing the plumbing channel, inducing a stream of fluid directed at the debris, and then inducing a vacuum within the plumbing system sufficient to remove the debris from the plumbing system.

1. A method of removing debris from piping within a high-rise building comprising:
inserting a portion of a flexible optical device into an opening defined by a plumbing system; inserting a portion of a flexible water conduit, operably coupled to a water pressure device, into the opening defined by the plumbing system; coupling an end of a vacuum conduit to the opening defined by the plumbing system, the vacuum conduit operably coupled to a vacuum assembly; producing an image of a plumbing channel defined by the plumbing system with the flexible optical device; maneuvering the portion of the flexible optical device within the plumbing system until the image of the plumbing channel depicts a debris identified as at least partially obstructing the plumbing channel; inducing a stream of fluid through the portion of the flexible water conduit, the stream of fluid directed at the debris for a period of time until it has been dislodged; and inducing a vacuum within the plumbing system sufficient to remove the debris from the plumbing system.
