Ways to eliminate blockages
Than, and most importantly, how to clean the sewer? Consider the main methods of cleaning sewage.
Cleaning the paths of drains in washbasins, shells, toilets, to a common riser is the most common and light. It can be carried out by both a plunger and other improvised means.
When cleaning a plunger, things are the following. We collect water above the level of the neck and make pumping until the water leaves, forming a characteristic funnel. Then we pour boiling water and rinse for 5-7 minutes. If this did not help, then we repeat the procedure.
Vantuz did not help get rid of blockage? In this case, take a cable for cleaning the sewage system. We put the cable into the pipe through the drain hole. We rotate it clockwise and gradually move forward. It is necessary to rotate so that the cable easily passes all the joints and bends of the pipes. The stores have many ready -made cables of different lengths. Some are equipped with a pen for the convenience of rotation.
If your toilet is clogged, then it is best to use home -made pumping that can be built from improvised means. It is inserted into the toilet hole and do energetic pumping several times. Thanks to the created hydraulic shocks, the resulting blockage is destroyed. After that, the pumping is removed and water drainage is checked. If there is no blockage, the water merges quickly. Otherwise, the operation will need to be repeated.
With very serious blockages, in addition to mechanical and hydraulic methods, different chemicals are used. There are a number of drug cleaning drugs on the market. As a rule, the drug is poured into the drain, then a glass of warm water is poured there and leave it for one to two hours. Then the pipe should be washed with a large amount of water: first hot and then cold water. As soon as the drug dissolves the cork, to completely clean the pipe from the blockage, you need to clean it one more time with a plunger or cable.
During all these operations, it is necessary to work in rubber gloves, and the room — ventilate. If you use chemicals, then observe the maximum caution so that they do not fall on your skin or in the eye. In the event that this happened, immediately rinse the substance with a large amount of water.

Also, to eliminate blockage, you can use a rubber hose, which should be thick -walled and quite rigid. One end should be put on the crane, and the other should be inserted into the drain hole. Turn on hot water. Only boiling water can be washed away fat deposits and other dirt. To clean the output pipe of the bath, you need to close its drain holes, as well as the openings of the washbasin and washing. Fill them with water, and then at the same time open all the plugs, I pump the output pipe of the bath with a batten. Although for this method of cleaning one person will be not enough. You will have to use several more people.
Some owners use a regular household vacuum cleaner to eliminate blockages. According to many, this method of cleaning the sewage system is quite effective.
