How to clean the clogged pipe in the kitchen

A real hostess must know how to cook a delicious dinner, and how to stop a galloping horse. And also how to clean the clog. What for? So that when the husband is not at home, you can do the work yourself.

An indispensable friend? sanitary plunger

When the sink clogs, civilization disappears completely from the apartment: you can neither wash the dishes, nor rinse your hands. At this point, you can resort to the help of a faithful friend of every plumber? a plunger? rubber cap fitted with wooden handle. So let's get started:

1. Tightly plunger close the drain.
2. Open the hot water and fill the sink so that the rubber nozzle is completely covered with water.
3. Close the overflow (for this you can use a wet rag, plastic bag or your own palm).
4. We carry out several energetic up and down pumping. Cleaning occurs due to the fact that during the lowering of the plunger to the garbage plug there is a high pressure, which destroys the blockage and pushes it down the pipe.

Tip! When raising the plunger, particles of the destroyed cork can go directly into the sink.

To eliminate clogging in the sink, you can use mechanical cleaning of the siphon? the most effective way. Over time, any sink is clogged with fat and food residues that impede the normal discharge of water. In general, this procedure should be performed quarterly for preventive purposes.

We use special tools

Sewage pipes are often clogged in hard to reach places. In this situation can help:

1. Popular cleaning products. "Tiret" is suitable for any type of pipe, and "Mole" - only for metal or plastic. Such substances can easily and quickly dissolve food and hair that has fallen into the sink, as well as prevent the occurrence and reproduction of harmful and dangerous bacteria.
2. Powders, which include bioadditives. The special enzyme contained in the powder effectively fights against fat deposits. Purification is carried out as follows: 200 g of the product must be diluted in 5 liters of very hot water, and then the resulting solution is poured into the sink. After some time, you need to rinse the drain and clean it with a plunger.

Tip! Before using any means, you must be sure to read the instructions. Household chemicals do not like experiments, because one of its constituent elements is concentrated alkali.

Improvised means

You can resort to cleansing with improvised means - baking soda and vinegar essences: 200 g of soda combined with 1 l of vinegar must be sent to the drain hole. After 1 hour, rinse the sewer pipe with hot water and additionally clean it with a plunger. The results will not be inferior to those to which household chemicals.

Sanitary cable application

Carrying out all the above manipulations did not give a positive result? Then you should use the plumbing cable: unscrew the siphon, start the cable into the sewer pipe and start rotating them. During this procedure, do not press the cable hard, as this can lead to additional problems. Now we begin to gradually pull out the cable, having previously ensured the proximity of the bin (the returning cable will “bring” a lot of “surprises” with it, which were the reason for blockage).

To verify the effectiveness of the manipulation, you need to install the siphon in place and flush the pipe with plenty of hot water. If you could not cope with the problem, you should call a professional - plumber.

The most important thing is prevention!

Periodically perform the following actions:

• At the end of each dishwashing session, leave the hot water turned on (only for 1 minute) - this will clear the siphon from food and fat residues;
• citric acid, salt and baking soda (in a ratio of 0.5: 1: 1). Dry mixture should be poured into a sewer pipe, diluted with one part of boiling water and left in the drain for 5 minutes;
• A large amount of boiling water will help get rid of soapy remains and fat deposits.
