Addressing sewer blockages often demands a combination approach that includes the use of a boom. That means using water jetting to break up the blockage and then vacuum technology to suck up the debris that created the blockage in the first place.
For a combination sewer cleaner truck, this requires the use of a hose reel to manage water jetting and a 6- to 8-inch vacuum hose to enter the sewer to suck up the debris through a boom and into the truck’s debris tank.
A boom is a mechanized arm that can extend off a sewer cleaner and be easily maneuvered
