Clogged sewers can happen both in the apartment and in any private house, most often specialists are called to eliminate such a problem. However, there are also cases when specialists cannot go on a call, for example, if this happened very late or on holidays or weekends. Then the only solution will be to cope with the problem yourself.
Causes of blockages
Sewerage is always clogged at the most inopportune moment, especially often this happens in apartments of houses of old buildings, where communications are too old. The harbingers of such a problem is the appearance of an unpleasant odor, too slow drainage of water.
There may be several reasons, but most often these are fatty blockages that accumulate over several years. Mechanical clogging or damage to communications may also be the cause.
Cleaning Methods
Before you begin to eliminate the blockage, you need to understand the extent of the problem. If the blockage is local, then you will be able to cope on your own, if the communications are clogged not only with you, but also with the neighbors, then without special services you can’t do it if you wish.
The easiest way is to rinse the pipes with boiling water, most often it is used in the kitchen to dissolve at least part of the body fat. To do this, pour 5 liters of boiling water into the sink, and then wait 10 minutes. If the blockage is simple, that is, there was little fat deposits, then the problem will be eliminated.
Each house has soda and vinegar, these two simple means as a result of the neutralization reaction can help much better than simple boiling water. However, be careful, do not make too concentrated a solution. The procedure is simple - first pour a glass of soda into the drain hole, and then fill it with a glass of water. It is forbidden to use the sink for 30 minutes, then turn on the hot water tap for 5-10 minutes so that everything inside is well washed.
A mechanical cable helps in cases where household chemicals are powerless. He easily breaks through the appeared cork or allows you to remove a foreign object. Sometimes a special tip is put on the cable, outwardly it resembles a brush.
Do not forget about the use of store specials or a simple plunger, who successfully helped our grandmothers.
