Without sewer system, it is difficult to present comfortable accommodation in your home. Sometimes you have to deal with the fact that it stops working. Clearing sewage and troubleshooting with their own hands will help solve this problem.

Causes of the occurrence of a cloud
The most common cause of the functioning of the sewer system is negligent attitude towards it. Sewerage is not a trash can. It cannot be thrown into it, which does not dissolve or has too large sizes.
To prevent foreign objects and garbage, the drain holes of the sink, sinks and baths are equipped with filter plugs. But even with proper use of the sewer system, the inner walls of the pipes are covered with organic sediments, mud and fat.
For this reason, the most common is zoom in the pipe near the kitchen sink, where the maximum amount of food residues is settled (even taking into account the filtering mesh). In most cases, the reason for the work of the bath drain is hair that fall into the sewage after washing the head.
As for the drain of the toilet, then it can be clogged with the improper use of plumbing. Especially when in the toilet to throw out rags, polyethylene packages or hygiene items.
There are several ways to clean the sewage and troubleshooting. It depends on the type variety, which happens to be general (when the pipes are contaminated) and the local (when the siphon fails). With a local zode, water will not leave only in the drain sink or bath. On the general blocking testifies "stagnant" water in all plums at once.
To clean the local blocking, use chemicals or vanatoux. The elimination of complex blockages is carried out using a spiral cable or professional equipment.
Troubleshooting Vaduzom
This tool can enjoy every person. Vantuz is a device consisting of two parts: a wooden handle and a rubber "cup". The principle of operation of the instrument is to promote a block of pipe and the subsequent removal of waste from the pressure system.
The technology of eliminating sewer blocks provides such actions:
- the plug closes the closed drain hole;
- vanatuz is installed on the plug and a cerave with warm water opens;
- water is recruited until it covers half the rubber part of the vehicle;
- carefully remove the plug with the press of the "cup" of the vehicle to the hole;
- several "Up-Down" movements are made without the separation of "cups";
- the last movement of Vanutuz breaks away from the drain hole.
As a result of this process, high pressure is created in the pipe and siphon. Under the pressure of air and water, the zoom moves along the pipe and washed into the sewer system. With full elimination of the break, water without problems goes into the drain hole. When lifting from the hole, the procedure repeats the procedure again.
It should be noted that it is forbidden to press too much on Vanatuz. Increased pressure inside the siphon will be the reason for the output of the instrument.
Troubleshooting by chemicals
This method is the most simple. Just visit a specialized store, purchase a means to eliminate breaks and pour it into a drain hole (or pour with the subsequent water fill).
The main nuance is the right choice of the drug, which:
- should not damage pipes;
- solvent hair in the drain bath hole;
- remove fat in the kitchen.
Chemicals are not recommended to use too often. This is due to the fact that they are able to damage the inner surface of the pipes. Which reduces the operational period of the material.
One of the most effective means is a gel to eliminate Tiret Turbo blockages. In addition to splitting dirt, fat and oil spots, this drug removes unpleasant odors and does not allow the appearance of mold. The gel is suitable for both plastic and metal pipes.
To eliminate a blockage in the sink using Tiret Turbo follows:
- put on gloves and glasses;
- measure 25% of the contents of the bottle and pour into the drain hole;
- wait for 5-15 minutes;
- boil 2 l of water;
- wash the water block.
A large number of bubbles testify about the process of corrosion of fat and dirt gel. It is not recommended to use Tiret Turbo simultaneously with the bleach. When they are connected, a reaction occurs, which causes the appearance of chemical vapors harmful to health.
Troubleshooting with a cable
To eliminate blockages that failed to remove with a vehicle or chemical agent, a special cable is used. It is a woven steel wire with a handle for rotation on one side and a tip on another. The minimum cable length is 5 m.
The technology splitting technology with a steel cable consists of such steps:
- preparatory stage (removal from the room of interfering objects, removal of the siphon from the sink, move the washing machine, etc.);
- the end of the cable with the tip is sent to the drain hole;
- the cable slowly rotates with the handle (it is impossible to rotate the cable, because it will damage it or damage to the pipe);
- when the sediment accumulation location passes, the intensity of rotational movements "Forward-back" increases (with periodic pulling the cable for cleaning from garbage);
- after eliminating blockages in the pipes, a crane with hot water and dirt with fat is washed off by a strong pressure.
The procedure for removing a cloud is better to exercise together. One person will rotate the cable, and the second is gently directed along the pipe. Rotational motions are produced in the same direction, in which the wire is spinning. Otherwise, the wire may dismiss, making the cable unsuitable for further work.
The only nuance when cleaning and eliminating blocks is that if there is a large number of knees and turns, the use of the cable is an ineffective occupation.
Professional troubleshooting equipment
If it was not possible to split the blockage in the sewer system using a cable, then special equipment will be needed. At home, this equipment can be a vacuum cleaner:
- "Cup" of Vanza is attached to the hose;
- dust collector is removed from the vacuum cleaner;
- the hose is connected to the blowing hole of the vacuum cleaner;
- "Cup" of the vanza is laid on the drain hole;
- the vacuum cleaner is included in the network at full capacity;
- using high pressure, the blockage falls into a wide riming pipe.
In the case when the vacuum cleaner could not cope with the clog, you need to use a more powerful hydraulic (or pneumatic) compressor with hydrodynamic washing of pipes. Water aimed at maximum pressure will effectively clean the sewer system from fat and dirt.
Prevention blocks
The elimination of sewage breakup is a rather troublesome occupation. Especially when you have to resort to the use of professional equipment. This can be avoided if periodically carry out the prevention of the sewer system.
The priority activities include:
- periodic disassembly and flushing of pipes and siphones;
- weekly opening of hot water crane (so you can get rid of fat);
- installation of high-quality mesh filters on drain holes;
- prevention in the sewage sewage of food waste;
- the use of soda with vinegar (1 time in 3 months).
Prevention of blockage with soda with vinegar implies the following consecutive actions:
- 0.5 cup of food soda is poured into the drain hole;
- following in the drain, 0.5 glasses of vinegar is poured;
- the hole is closed by a plug;
- after 2-2.5 hours, the plums are filled with boiled water.
