Through this pump, special chemicals will be pushed through the radiators, boiler, and pipes. These chemicals have various functions – one removes rust and sludge while another removes lime scale and corrosion inhibitor to prevent the formation of future rust.

Our engineers will collect and dispose of contaminated water, particles or debris removed from your system. Our team can also help stubborn blockages on the exterior of the radiator using special tools.

They will start taking the temperature of your radiators before work after work to show you how your system improved after the power flush.
