Most common household blockages in apartments occur in plums in the bathroom, a shower, in kitchen sinks, as well as in the bathroom. The reasons that contribute to the formation of household blockages, can be very different, but the most important is the wrong installation of the sewage pipeline. For example, failure to comply with the proper slope of pipes during installation. Few people know that when laying drain pipes from a kitchen sink (bathtub, shower cubicle) with a working diameter of 32 to 50 mm there should be a large slope, namely 3 cm per meter.
A typical situation with the clogging of sewage in the apartment.
The new apartment, the free planning, the total length of the drain pipes (F-50 mm) to the riser is 6 meters, in this case the difference between the two points of the horizontal section of the pipeline (bottom and top) should be 18 cm.
How to eliminate clogging in the apartment?
It is possible to patch a channel in the concrete slab to lay a pipe, and thus perforate a ceiling slab, but this is not an option. You can lay a pipeline, along the perimeter of the wall, closing it with a decorated box, breaking the overall design, which in most cases is not acceptable.
It remains the most incorrect option, to lay the sewage system with a minimal bias, which actually leads in the future to the formation of fatty deposits, due to poor water flow, and as a consequence of the occurrence of sewerage clogging in the apartment.
Elimination of clogging in the apartment.
Another reason is the long service life of old cast-iron pipes (houses of old construction) is also a common cause of sewage blockage in a multi-apartment building.
In this case, solid deposits form on the walls of the pipes, which in time leads to a decrease in the internal working diameter of the pipes. If it is not possible to solve these problems technically (or) periodically (once a quarter or half a year) involve our employees in cleaning the sewers. In these cases, we cleaned mechanically with the help of German professional equipment (machine R 650). Combining spirals with a working diameter from 16 mm to 22 mm and using a variety of nozzles, we eliminate the litter of any complexity.
More information on this equipment you can find on our website in the column of services in the section mechanical cleaning.
We eliminate household blockages in apartments / country cottages / in offices / in office buildings / in production facilities.
The situation is familiar: at the most inopportune moment, water, instead of draining into the sink, tends to pour from the sink to the floor? Unfortunately, the use of smooth plastic pipes and expensive siphons does not guarantee that there is no clogging in the sewage system. What to do if the sewerage is clogged - how to clean the pipe and get rid of the cork, not blocking the water for the whole day before the arrival of the plumbing? Cope alone with complex blockages is unlikely to succeed, but to solve the problem with a clogged drain in the kitchen or in the bathroom - really.
First of all, it is necessary to identify the cause of the difficult outflow of water, especially if such a problem occurs continuously. Among the most common causes of systematic occurrence of blockages:
- The use of corrugated hoses on the siphons. The surface of a thin hose to give greater strength and flexibility is made in the form of an accordion - in the folds of the corrugation a plaque accumulates, which eventually overlaps the internal lumen.
- Flexions of flexible corrugated pipes. Eliminate the problem simply: just remove and reinstall the hose so that there are no sharp bends. Often the cause of the bend is too long hose length.
Corrugated hose with bend - guarantee of blockage
- Cast-iron pipes. Old sewer wiring will be clogged regularly, no matter how often the owners perform preventive cleaning. The reason is in the sediments inside the pipe. Cast iron is prone to corrosion, rusty metal plates, chipping away from the walls, form clogs, and threads, wool and hair falling into the pipe cling to the damaged walls. The only solution is to replace the outdated system.
Cast iron pipes after several years of operation
- The most banal reason is the wrong shape of the drain grids and the absence of grease traps. The question for kitchen sinks is especially actual. In the sink, the food remains - after accumulation in the siphon, dense lumps gather in the pipe, forming fatty solid plugs. The correct shape of the grid is a flat blind plate with frequent narrow longitudinal holes.
Such a lattice should be replaced
- Ignoring the basic rules of operation. The owners of flats forget that the domestic sewage system is designed exclusively for draining liquid soluble waste. Paper, garbage, wet wipes are just a small part of objects that cause complicated blockages.
Having found out in the apartment one or more of the above reasons, try to solve the problem drastically: replace the old clogged pipes, install grills with grease catchers - you will not have to call the masters for cleaning the sewer obstructions for several decades.
Types of blockages and typical places of their formation
In any domestic sewer, no matter what pipes and plumbing are installed, there are 3 sites where there are often clogs:
- Siphon and the outlet to it.
- The branch line, located a meter from the siphon.
- The entrance point of the local sewer pipe in the common house riser.
You can find the place where the internal lumen is blocked, independently. If one section is blocked, then the drainage delay is noted only at one point - in the sink, bath, or toilet bowl. To check how far the cork is from the drain grid, simply open the tap. If the water starts to rise and does not drain at all - the siphon is blocked.
Check the condition of the siphon from the plastic can be a conventional flashlight
If first the water passes freely, and after a while the overflow begins from the drain grid, it means that the blockage is located at a distance from the siphon, between the point of the draw-off (the sink, the bathtub) and the entrance to the common outflow pipe. When the riser is clogged at the junction of the common and apartment systems, at the same time there are problems with all plumbing: the drain is difficult at all points.
Layering of water stone and organic clogging inside the pipe
To decide how to clean the sewer itself, in addition to locating a blockage, it is necessary to determine the type of contamination. All obstructions in the sewage system are conventionally divided into 3 groups.
Operational blockages
Together with the water in the sink, especially in the kitchen, gets fat. Hot vegetable oil, fat is drained into a siphon. Upon contact with cool water, the oil becomes thick and sticky. Adhering to the walls, the crust collects on its surface all the particles that fall into the sink: food residues, small pieces of kitchen sponges, fibers. So for several months a strong cork is formed, narrowing the lumen of the pipe.
Difficult operational blockage: sewage never cleaned
Mechanical plugs
Overlap the inner lumen of the sewer pipe with all insoluble objects and materials falling into the drain. Most often, foreign objects fall into the toilet: rolls of toilet paper, rags, personal care products. Wet wipes are capable of creating impenetrable clogs in a matter of hours, especially in cast-iron pipes. The fabric from which the napkins are made has a fibrous surface that clings to the inner walls of the tube.
Complete lumen overlap: mechanical obstruction
Technical blockages
Defects in the construction of sewerage in the apartment - the cause of regularly occurring blockages. If the diameter of the pipe is incorrectly chosen, the slope is incorrectly set, there are sharp turns of the pipeline at a large angle, not equipped with corner joints, then you will have to reinstall the system.
After determining the point where the sewer is blocked, and the type of pollution, choose the method of pipe cleaning, which will help to cope with the blockage.
Sewage cleaning by people's methods and chemical means
Among the ways to eliminate sewage sludge, which can be applied independently, without causing plumbing:
- Folk recipes using tools that are always at hand in the kitchen.
- Special household chemicals.
- Simple mechanical methods of cleaning the pipes: plunger and cable.
Before you begin to clean the sewer in the apartment, be sure to find a pair of household rubber gloves - the stronger, the better. Conventional medical do not fit, thin latex on contact with acid or alkali can not stand.
How to cope with simple pollution with conventional boiling water
The first assistant in the fight against fatty blockages is steep boiling water. Boil about 2 liters of water. Pour boiling water into the sink drain. Operate neatly, pour boiling water slowly, with a thin stream. Use a thick tack to prevent burning your hand with hot steam.
Just fill the sink with boiling water
Leave the boiling water in the sink for 20 - 30 minutes. Under the influence of hot water, the upper layers of the fatty crust will melt, thus access to the center of the clog will appear. After half an hour, boil another portion of water.
In the drain hole, pour a pack of table salt, after 5 minutes, pour on top of boiling water. Use the usual rock salt, cleaned fine "Extra" will not work. Large crystals of salt corrode a lot of clog, and the topped boiling water will dissolve the remains of fat.
Salt is the easiest way to clean the sewage system in the kitchen. If the pipe is not cleaned after re-pouring water, try applying soda.
How to use baking soda
For the cleaning of sewerage, ordinary baking soda is used - as an emergency aid with simple blockages in the siphon and adjacent pipes. Soda can be used alone, or in combination with other products that are always in the house - with vinegar, dishwashing liquid, citric acid and a wine stone.
You can fill the soda directly in the sink
A simple recipe: fill a whole batch of soda in the drain hole and pour a small amount of boiling water on top. Leave the mixture in the siphon for a long time - soda does not damage the walls of the pipes. After a few hours, the cleaned pipe must be rinsed with plenty of water.
Cope with more complex obstructions helps to clean the sewage soda and vinegar. Substances are not mixed before filling. First, about 200 g of soda are poured into the sink, the same amount of table vinegar is poured on top. The reaction that starts in the pipe can be too intense, and the foam will come out of the drain hole. In this case, you can plug the drain plug. The time for which the solution will act is from a few minutes to 1 hour. Wait longer does not make sense. It is better to repeat the procedure.
Soda with vinegar in a 1: 1 ratio
Instead of table vinegar, use concentrated vinegar, a strong solution of citric acid or tartar. The proportion of acid solution to the amount of soda should be 1: 1. As a fat solvent, especially when cleaning in the kitchen, a dishwashing liquid is added to the mixture: soda will dissolve the organics, and the agent will dissolve the fat accumulated on the walls. Before using soda solutions, the plug of the blockage is treated with boiling water to soften it.
Heavy artillery: caustic soda
If you can not clean the sewer with ordinary soda and table vinegar, there is a more aggressive means - caustic soda. Use caustic soda is with caution and only in emergency cases, when the house has no special means for cleaning.
The caustic is produced in 2 kinds: in the form of granules and gel. The use of the product in the home is dangerous. During the reaction, a large amount of heat is released. The pipe into which caustic soda is bottled for cleaning the sewage can be heated to 60 - 65 °. Therefore, with special care use the substance for PVC pipes - the walls can be deformed under the influence of excessive temperature.
Do not use a caustic if the sink or bathtub is covered with enamel. Soda will dissolve the coating in a few hours. When working with the substance, protect the exposed skin, face and eyes. Special high vinyl gloves and plastic goggles are required. Aggressive agents can cause burns and skin irritation.
Before pouring into the sewer, the dry substance must be diluted with water in the proportion: 1 part of soda to 2 parts of water. Stir the solution in a solid thick-walled plastic container. After dissolution, the liquid is poured into the drain hole.
To eliminate local blockages in the siphons, just fill a few tablespoons of caustic in a sink and add 250 ml of boiling water on top.
Leave solution in the pipes can be a maximum of 1.5 - 2 hours. After the expiration of this time, the system must be thoroughly rinsed, leaving the open valve for 5 to 10 minutes. Remains of soda, flowing through the pipes, will clean the internal walls of the organic deposits.
Alkaline and Acid Household Products
How to clean the sewerage in a private house with the help of store tools? First of all, choose the right composition. The main active substances, which are included in all industrial compositions without exception:
- Alkali.
- Acids.
As auxiliary cleaning agents, manufacturers add surfactants to the formulation, which disinfect the tube from the inside and dissolve the fat.
Chemistry for the elimination of blockages in the sewage system
The form of production of household chemical products is diverse: gels, powder, granules. The most convenient - portions of the package with granules and liquid, which is poured directly into the pipe. The mechanism of action and the method of application directly depend on the active substance. Therefore, the use of funds is necessary, strictly following the instructions.
Portion bags and liquid
Alkaline compounds - ideal for fighting sewage in the kitchens. Alkaline dissolves fat within a few minutes. Granular compounds fall asleep in the sink in a dry form. Pour water in the volume specified in the instruction. Some funds are poured in cold water.
Acidic compounds are more aggressive. Acid copes with solid deposits inside pipes, with detergent residues, organic contaminants. Therefore, acid-based products are recommended for cleaning pipes in bathrooms. Use caustic acid on enameled surfaces. It must be ensured that the acid does not get on the faucets covered with chrome or nickel plated: the agent can leave stains on the surface.
Mechanical removal of deep obstructions
Aids (soda, vinegar) and chemical compounds are advisable to use when in the home you need to clean the sewerage in areas near the drain holes. Chemical exposure to remove deep clogs is not enough. I'll have to use a plunger or a cable with a tip.
How to use the plunger correctly
The simplest and fastest of the mechanical ways to eliminate clogging is to flush the siphon. Evidence that the hole in the siphon is clogged is an unpleasant odor from the sink. To remove dirt, it is enough to unscrew the siphon, clean the lumps of dirt and thoroughly wash the pipes with a dish cleaner.
Remove and rinse: a quick way to clean the siphon
Vantuz - a standard device that is used for cleaning pipes, if the clog is below the siphon. You can use the plunger either independently or after pouring a cleaning compound into the pipe.
Vantuz with a large bowl for the toilet
When working with a plunger, follow the simple rules:
- The bowl should fit snugly and tightly against the sink around the drain hole. To improve suction, the rim of the bowl can be lubricated with silicone.
- Fill the sink with water. The water layer should cover the wide part of the bowl by 1 cm.
- Movement with the handle must be done quickly and with force. Usually, 3 to 4 hammers are done with a minimum interval.
When cleaning the double sink, close the drain hole of the second sink
- Overflow holes in the sink and bath above the discharge point must be sealed tightly so that the impact force does not decrease.
To replace the simple handles with a handle came improved models - pneumatic instruments with a handle, a valve and a comfortable narrow rubber gasket at the bottom. The narrow tip easily passes through the drain - you can eliminate the blockage in the depth of the pipe.
Air Valve with air valve
Use pneumatic plunger lighter. The device is installed so that the tip center coincides with the center of the drain hole. Pull the handle of the valve and push it back sharply. The effort that must be applied is minimal, and the force of the hammer is several times greater than when using a mechanical device.
Some craftsmen will improve the standard plunger by themselves. Used to create pressure, an old vacuum cleaner with a back blow. By the end of the hose, attach the cup from the old plunger, fix the bowl over the sink and blow the pipe.
Plumbing cable for cleaning pipes and risers
The classic method of mechanical pipe cleaning is to remove the blockage by a flexible cable. Special plumbing cables for eliminating blockages consist of sharp tips of various shapes, flexible hose with inner rope and handle. Some models are equipped with spiral sharp tips with notches.
Professional cable with electric drive
The cable is used to eliminate complex mechanical obstructions located at distant sections of the pipeline - up to 1.5 - 2.5 m from the drain holes. The cable is inserted into the pipe, gently pushing it until it stops. After reaching the fence, begin to rotate the handle. At this time, a lump of dirt splits and winds on the serifs. Slowly remove the cable with the lump.
Hydrodynamic method of sewage cleaning
Professional assistance is required in situations where the clogged area is so far away that it is not possible to get to the cork with a cable. Specialists use electrical equipment for hydrodynamic cleaning.
Machines for hydrodynamic cleaning
Special nozzles with small nozzles are put on the hose. Through the nozzle openings, a jet of pressure is released, which cleans the walls of the contaminants. For erosion of the tubes of plugs overlapping the inner lumen, nozzles with a straight nozzle are used in the center. The hydraulic hammer created is sufficient to clean the pipes of any diameter. However, there is no risk to the integrity of the pipeline - the method is used to clean both plastic and metal pipes.
Types of nozzles for different types of contaminants

Preventive measures, provided they are regular, will help to avoid the appearance of blockages. Install new drain grids, change corrugation on rigid pipes, use cleaning agents every 1-2 months. If the pipes are clogged constantly - it is necessary to identify the cause and eliminate structural defects in the system. In case of a complicated blockage, call the master: the cleaning procedure will take a minimum of time, and the pipes are guaranteed to remain whole and clean.
Sewer drainage is one of the most common problems that any homeowner may face at the most inappropriate time. In some cases, it can be handled on its own using available items such as a plunger, a cable and various cleaning fluids for pouring into pipes. The specialist will provide qualified assistance in a more serious situation, when, without adequate knowledge and skills, a person can aggravate the situation, which will lead to unfortunate consequences in the form of damaged sanitary equipment and flooding neighbors. Possessing information about all the causes leading to clogging, you can do everything possible and prevent their occurrence. The article will deal with the ways of cleaning the sewerage.
Types of sewage sludge
To spend on cleaning the sewerage as little as possible of temporary and monetary resources, you need to clearly imagine what is clogged and where. This problem often occurs in deformed pipes and corners of pipelines, in sewerage, basements of apartment buildings and between sewage wells.
- Technogenic cloggingit occurs when a pipe or a part of it is destroyed or diverted.
- Mechanical blockageis formed when a large object enters the sewer.
- Explosive cloggingcharacterized by the appearance of an obstacle to runoff in the form of deposits on the walls of pipes that are formed over time.
Causes of obstruction of sewage pipes
There are many reasons that lead to clogging of sewage pipes.
- Improper use of the sewage system. Dropping into the toilet bowls, sinks and other sanitary devices of different waste (cleaning, crusts) lead to clogs, which are mechanical. It becomes impossible to pass sewage through the pipes of the sewage system.
- Stockpiling.Over time, the walls of metal and cast-iron pipes are rough. They are clinging to hair, toilet paper, thread and buttons. The center of the blockage may be a remnant that is stuck on the wall of the pipe, there remains small debris in the form of food debris or fish scales that people throw into the drain. Little by little the lumen of the pipe is shortened, which leads to a paralysis of the sewage system. Constantly it gets and fat from dishwashers and kitchen sinks. Under the influence of low temperature, it freezes and forms outgrowths on the inner walls of the pipes, which gradually cover the entire lumen of the drain.
- Errors in installation. If you choose a toilet with a special design or if it is incompatible with the installation site, which is expressed in the wrong inclination of the drainage line, clogging may also occur. To avoid this situation, it is better to consult with a specialist before buying this sanitary item. This is one of the most frequent reasons for the need to clean the blockage in a private house.
- Storm clog. This is a public problem, the initiators of which can be tenants of any apartments located on one side, but on different floors of the entrance.
Elimination of sewerage clogging
Small clogs formed near the drain hole can be eliminated with a plunger, spilling with boiling water and purchased chemical or improvised means.
Cleaning of the sewage sludge with a plunger
- In each house there must be this plumbing fixture. It consists of a rubber or polymer bowl and a wooden handle. Its main purpose is to clean the obstructions. To carry out the process, it is necessary to close the drain, an additional hole to protect against overflow (if any) and to collect so much water in the sink that it hides the cup of the plunger.
- For a close fit to the surface, its edges can be coated with petroleum jelly. Tightly press the air vent to the open drain hole and carry out the swinging motion with the handle up and down, without tearing it from the surface. At the same time do not need to apply too much physical effort, so as not to spoil the siphon, which is under the sink. This will create air pressure in the tube, which will push through the clog and release its lumen. At the end of the procedure, the plunger is pulled up sharply.
- If the water goes into the drain slowly, you will have to repeat the operation until it is completely cleaned. To the lack of such a method, one can consider the impossibility of eliminating chronic clogging.
Cleaning the siphon
- The siphon is most often clogged, which is a curved section of the pipe under the sink, it can be unscrewed and removed dirt and debris, and then treated with a degreaser.
- Fat deposits from metal pipes can be eliminated with boiling water, systematically pouring one pan of hot water into the sink. To prevent such a problem, every time you wash dishes, you need to pass the boiling water for 20 seconds.
Hot water cleaning
- If the blockage was caused by the settling of fat on the walls of the pipes, it is recommended that the spillage be boiled. Hot water will dissolve the fat and eliminate the problem. Open the hot tap and drain the water for some time. In most cases, this method does not give the expected result, so it is advisable to use it together with others.
Chemical cleaning
- The stores offer a wide range of specially developed chemical acid and alkaline agents in the form of gels, powders or liquids, which are designed to eliminate blockages. When choosing, make sure that the tool does not damage the pipes.
- The composition of the mole for sewage cleaning is most popular. For a bath, it is recommended to choose a product that can dissolve hair, and for the kitchen - fat. Gel-like agents are well distributed throughout the inner surface of the pipes and dissolve the deposits.
- Applying a chemical means you need to follow the instructions exactly to achieve the maximum effect. Mixing different in composition products can lead to the deposition of salts on the pipes and harm health.
Cleaning soda and vinegar
- In addition to purchased chemicals, you can use soda and vinegar, which are available in any home. To do this, a whole packet of soda is poured into the sink and a glass of vinegar is poured. Half an hour later the system is spilled with boiling water.
- Do not risk the state of the pipes and try to clear the blockage with the help of battery electrolyte or sulfuric acid solution.
Elimination of blockage by plumbing cable
- In the event that the obstruction is localized in the place of the pipe that is far enough from the drain hole, a plumbing cable will help to cope with the problem. The object is a steel flexible string up to 10 meters long, at one end of which there is a handle.
- To carry out the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the siphon and insert a cable into the pipe. It is directed in the right direction with a simultaneous rotation of the handle. For convenience, you can use the help of another person. When pushing the string will become difficult, you should move it forward and backward until the plug is broken. During the cleaning, the wire will accumulate debris, so it must sometimes be completely removed from the pipe and cleaned.
- After the removal of the blockage, the siphon must be re-screwed and hot water must be removed to rinse the dirt, if water forms a funnel, then the procedure has been carried out correctly.
- To completely clean the plastic or cast iron sewage pipe, the method described below can be applied, which involves the use of a cable, a kapron cord (diameter up to 4 millimeters), and a washcloth for washing dishes made of metal. Its size should be chosen so that it can pass through the pipe, but it does not get stuck in it.
- Before starting work, it is recommended to clean and rinse the pipe, pass the end of the cable through it and try to bring it to the toilet. After that, attach a kapron cord to it, the length of which must be at least two pipe lengths. Then pull the cable along with the cord to the outside and untie them from each other. The main part of the cord is in the pipe. The cable is no longer needed. Now it is necessary to impose on a cord a metal sponge so that it was located approximately on its middle. Next, you need to pull the cord for one, then the other end, pushing the sponge along along the entire pipe. The operation is carried out at least three times, each of which is accompanied by the washing of the pipe with hot water.
If all of the above methods did not lead to the expected result, you need to turn to the professional.
Hydrodynamic sewage cleaning
- The most qualitative is the hydrodynamic method of cleaning sewage pipes, which is carried out with the help of special machines. They are produced in different capacities and dimensions, equipped with special nozzles and are capable of eliminating blockage in pipes with a diameter of 5 to 150 centimeters. For a domestic sewer system, a compact device is suitable, which can eliminate even a complicated blockage.
- This method has a lot of advantages, including fast and high-quality pipe cleaning, which guarantees their safety with a fairly simple technology. Water jet carefully removes debris and deposits, which allows to extend the life of the pipeline. When the unit is operating, there is no emission of dirt and dust, no harmful effects on the environment and pipes. A variety of nozzles allow you to cope with blockage in any complicated wiring.
- The method consists in delivering water under pressure to 300 atmospheres tangentially to the surface being treated. Replaceable nozzles can effectively eliminate any contamination. After lowering the hose into the pipe, water is supplied and the pressure is regulated, so that it does not break down. The washing lasts about an hour.
- Hydrodynamic cleaning is an excellent way to not only eliminate the emergency situation, but also an effective measure of prevention of blockages. Restoring the transmission capacity of the pipeline leads to a longer service life without repair.
Cleaning the corrugated drain pipe
- Detergents, grease and dirt are much more delayed on the corrugated pipes, settling and accumulating in their folds. To eliminate the blockage, it is necessary to carefully unscrew and remove the elbow or siphon, pull the pipe up to full rectification and straightening of all faces, then rinse it thoroughly with water.
- At the same time, clean the siphon and the water storage tank. At the end of all the operations, the crankshaft should be tightened to its original position.
Cleaning the litter in the toilet
- Most often, the reason for the littering of the toilet is the remnants of products that need to be thrown into the trash can, and toilet paper. All this accumulates in the rotation of the tube, forming a cork.
- In the event that an object has been dropped into the toilet, which caused clogging, you should try to remove it manually by putting on rubber gloves. If it is impossible to carry out the procedure with your hands, you need to use a plunger or a plumbing cable, or you can resort to chemical agents.
- If the litter is old or rather strong, the instrument called "hydro shock" will help. It is inserted into the drain hole and pressure is pumped into the toilet pipe, piercing the plug. There is also a hydromechanical machine, the hose of which is introduced into the inspection hatch or into the fan tube with the toilet removed. Then, under a great pressure, a stream of water is supplied, it can clear the blockages in the riser.
Cleaning the clog of the siphon shower enclosure
- Shower corners or cabins with a pallet are susceptible to clogging of the siphon, since they do not purify by means of the head of the drained water. To eliminate blockage, you need to unscrew the watering can from the hose, remove the round gasket inside the connection and remove the decorative cover covering the drain, remove the filter. Further, the hose is lowered into the drain hole to the very bottom and compact the space around the circle with a wet rag. This is necessary in order that under pressure the water does not go back.
- Now you need to put some warm water and see how it goes into the sink, while holding the hose and rag. If water flows out and there is no leakage under the shower tray, you can increase the head and water temperature. Wait a few minutes and turn off the water, remove the rag and put the hose into the side drain hole.
- Turn on the water under a strong pressure and bring the temperature to 80 degrees. If there is no leakage and the water leaves well, then in a quarter of an hour you can turn off the water. Siphon was cleaned from deposits, dirt and grease under the pressure of hot water. At the end of the process, rinse the pallet, screw back the watering can, inserting the gasket into place.
- In the same way, it is possible to eliminate the blockage in the bath and the sink, if there is a hose with a watering can.
Prevention of blockages
To prevent blockages in the pipes, you need to systematically carry out preventive work. They include diagnostics and control over the condition of the sewage system, the elimination and utilization of various types of deposits from pipes, their washing, the elimination of all kinds of debris and small objects (sand, clay, protein and fat accumulations). In addition, in the draining of shells, you can put a special plastic filter in the form of a mesh, which will not allow hair, small debris and food residues to get into the pipe.
