When emergency sewage service is needed

With the current state of engineering communications in large cities and especially high-rise apartment buildings, the condition of the pipeline has not surprised anyone for a long time. Particularly problematic areas are buildings that have experienced more than a dozen years, and where the emergency sewer service has not looked since the end of construction work.

Causes of emergency situations

The result of the problems described above is the operation of sewage networks without many years of pipe replacement due to a lack of funds in the budget.

This can be avoided only in two cases:

• Repair of the damaged area, and in the best case - the complete replacement of the defective element of the pipeline.
• Preventive inspection and cleaning of pipelines, fittings, sewer manholes.

However, problems with drainage are not always caused by the negligence of the relevant city services. Often, users themselves violate the rules of household sewage.

It is not uncommon for pipe cleaning specialists to extract non-characteristic items from the sewer system:

• Towels and napkins.
• Personal hygiene items.
• Brushes and sponges, etc.

Some, especially irresponsible comrades, manage to dispose of sewage and remnants of cement mixtures into the sewer system. Agree, in such cases, large-scale accidents in sewer systems are simply inevitable: such inclusions can block the free outflow of faecal masses and provoke a blockage in the pipeline. Do not be careless when using sewage!

Attention! Accidents in the sewage system contribute not only to the appearance of an unpleasant disease-bearing odor in the room, but also a reverse flow of sewage through the water trap of sanitary equipment. This is fraught with irrevocable damage to your property in contact with the outpouring feces.

Experts say that modern means (especially powdered with abrasive inclusions) for cleaning and washing dishes and household appliances also adversely affect the condition of the pipes. Since the sewage system, designed a few decades ago, did not count on the interaction of many modern chemicals.

But! The sewage system transports human waste, it must be periodically bacteriologically cleaned.

Municipal rescuers

With a small blockage of sewers within a single apartment, of course, the owner can do it with his own hands and without experience in this not entirely pleasant affair. In the case of insurmountable local clogging measures, emergency sewage cleaning is carried out with the involvement of specialists.

Private traders

Today, along with a large monopolist in this area, a number of small mobile firms operate in the district and city communal accident services. They provide their paid services in all matters related to water supply to the end user and wastewater disposal.

Note! Unlike city service here, you can always count on quick response and quality service, although you will have to pay extra for it.

List of services and responsibilities

The instructions for providing services to the public impose the following duties on employees:

• Response to the request, including arrival at the place within 30 minutes.
• The organization should provide round-the-clock service without breaks at the weekend.
• High-quality performance of the declared services by professional staff with experience of similar work.

In addition, any emergency sewage service must, upon request of the customer, present the appropriate license with a list of works permitted to be performed.

Work on clearing blockages in the system of wastewater and faeces can be done in two ways:

• Mechanical.
• Chemical.

Pipes with a diameter of 50 to 500 mm are mechanically cleaned. Cleaning is carried out with a cable (in small areas) or with a special flexible steel hose.

The chemical method is applied to pipes with a diameter of 20-300 mm. At the same time, a liquid with a special chemical mixture is passed through the waste pipeline.

Tip! If it was not possible to clean the pipeline in any of the ways, you will have to replace the problem section of the pipe. To do this, use the services of professional plumbers.

When the emergency service is called - the sewage system is in a faulty state, you can use not only the cleaning and flushing service, but also:

• Elimination of damage to pipes and fittings of the waste system.
• Leaks in the internal apartment (house) layout.
• Leak on common risers and loungers in the basement.

The price for servicing a private emergency gang will depend on the volume of services provided.

Conclusion

It is better to resort to the services of repair services at the first appearance of difficulties in the operation of the sewer system and after you were unable to cope with the blockage yourself. If you broke a pipe and it is impossible to eliminate the leak before the arrival of specialists, you should warn your neighbors from below that will help to avoid damage to the equipment.
