How and what is the sewer off debtors

Payment of utilities should be made by consumers regularly and in full, but this is not always the case. As a result, debts are accumulated to the companies that provide them. The fight against non-payments is carried out in several directions, one of which is to turn off the sewage system for the non-payment of utilities through the installation of technical devices.

Utilities may disable or restrict debtors access to their services.

Measures of influence on debtors

The reluctance of consumers to pay for consumed services in time provoked the organization to create plugs for plums to debtors. Alas, the overlap of sewage debtors may be the only way to achieve the payments from the population.

This is due to the fact that many residents refuse to let representatives of the water utility into the apartment, who are sent to seal the water supply pipes. In principle, there is nothing illegal in this, since they do not allow anyone to enter the house of strangers.

Note! Disable water more radical method - breaking into the apartment to the debtor, the management company can not, because it could be other consequences.

Therefore, an alternative method of “influencing defaulters” was developed - blocking the sewage system to debtors with the help of plugs that do not impede the supply of water to the apartment, but do not allow it to be drained into the general sewage system. Their installation is made without visiting the home of the debtors.

In this case, there are no legal restrictions on the part of the management company, which under the contract may temporarily cease to provide new services due to non-payment of the previous ones. At the same time the cap does not allow fecal masses, however water, although slowly, but passes.

In the photo - you can watch as debtors block the sewage system without visiting their homes.

At the same time, representatives of the management company are not even trying to get into the apartment to the debtor, so litigations with it are unlikely to be successful. Organizations insist that this method can be considered the only one that really allows you to get a debt for services rendered.

Alas, letters and courts do not affect the majority of debtors. At the same time, those who have experienced such a method of “knocking out defaults” claim that they consider such measures to be inhuman.

Types of sewer blocking

Octopus

Any actions taken by management companies related to the restriction of wastewater should be carried out legally. In this case, they are guided by the Government Decree No. 354 of May 6, 2011, which states that the service organization has the right to restrict any utilities to debtors.

The exception is cold water and heating.

A written notice is sent to the non-payer, which indicates the reason and the means of resolving it. If the debtor does not respond to it within the specified period, the utility company may block the sewage system of the apartment.

In this case, we consider the option "Sprut".

It consists of:

  • multimeter probe;
  • video cameras;
  • manipulator.

Below is a guide on which public utilities should act:

Check
  1. Before blocking the apartment’s water disposal system, it is imperative to check the riser of the house to be disconnected for leaks.
  2. To do this, company employees must climb onto the roof of the house and lower the special probe into the main sewer riser.
  3. If leakage is detected, blocking is prohibited.
  4. When the riser is in order, make the installation of the system "Sprut".
Lock
  1. To block drainage limiter is lowered into the sewer sewer pipe.
  2. The desired apartment is located with a video camera.
  3. The total riser is not blocked, only drainage from the debtor’s dwelling.

In this case, an incomplete closure of the cross section of the sewer pipe is made, a gap of 3 mm is left. It is enough to drain water, but a complete system is broken, which is immediately visible after using the toilet.

Work system

Throat

The principle of operation of this system is as follows:

  1. For work they use a system of flexible joints and a safety cable, on the end of which a manipulator with a video camera is installed, and a Glot system.
  2. The probe is lowered into the sewer riser to the level where the debtor lives. The process adjusts the operator on the monitor.
  3. The operator mounts the plug inside the riser, which limits the drainage.

Tip: You can only unlock the Glot system with the same equipment.

WHALE

The system consists of the following elements:

  1. A probe consisting of a set of mounting rods with a video block installed on it. It is completely sealed and made of a material that is resistant to the aggressive effects of the internal environment of the funnel pipes. The video unit has two video cameras with LED and infrared light bulbs, which facilitate the work with limited visibility.

  1. The control panel, with the help of which the operator can correctly determine the place of installation of the plug. It has buttons for adjusting the backlight, as well as switching cameras, the image from which is on the 11th monitor.
  2. Cable reels for connection to the electrical network of 220 V.
  3. Sewer cap and removable retainer.

The plug is installed in the same way as in the two previous systems. The probe is conducted through a common sewer riser to the desired outlet. In place of the plug forcibly compacted and locked with a "lock". According to the manufacturers, the KIT system can be actively used for 15-20 years at a temperature of -30 - +50? С.

Owl

The principle of operation of this method of “struggle” with debtors is the same as in previous systems, when a special probe is used to deliver the plug to the site. With a certain force, the polymer sleeve is pressed into the silt of the riser and locked. Remove it from there only with the help of the same probe.

Elements of the OWS system

System advantage:

  • the plug has a variable diameter (65-110 mm), which makes it possible to mount it in the sewer riser without first cleaning the pipes;
  • if there is an attempt to unauthorized removal of the device, no congestion or other emergencies will arise in the riser;
  • the probe is a flexible hose (in other locks it is a sucker-rod system), this allows entering the fan pipe from a low technical level;
  • no need to turn off the water supply on the riser when installing the plug;
  • if the defaulter decides to unblock the drainage with his own hands, he will have to completely disassemble part of the general sewer riser.

Each locking system has its positive aspects, besides the principle of their work is almost the same.

Tip: do not remove the caps yourself, besides it is prohibited, as there is a big risk of disruption to the sewer network. Otherwise, the price of such actions will increase many times, due to the repayment of debts and carrying out repairs at its own expense.

Conclusion

In this article, you learned about sewer riser blocking systems, which utilities use to “fight” non-payments. With their help, it is possible to block the output of fecal masses from the apartment almost 100%, creating abnormal living conditions for the debtor.

Unauthorized unlocking of the plugs can lead to even more negative consequences, which the defaulter is warned about in advance.
