How to eliminate the clog of the toilet

Sooner or later, everyone will have to face such an unpleasant problem as clogging the toilet. In this article we look at the popular methods of removing clogging at home.

Ways

In the event that the congestion is determined in the riser, you will not be able to remove it yourself: you need to call plumbers as soon as possible. They are using professional techniques and suitable equipment to eliminate clogging quickly and efficiently.

The blockage is dangerous because the drainage water from the upper floors can flood the apartment with an unpleasant substance. Difficulties arise in the discharge of water due to several reasons:

• The descent into the sewer solid, inorganic waste;
• Gradual fouling of the corrugations from the inside with sediments that impede the discharge of water;
• Emerging cork of organic waste in the corrugation of the toilet bowl;
• Mud plug in the general riser.

Mechanical cable

Choosing, than to break through the blockage in the pipe, first of all they recall the cable used by the plumbing. With the help of a special cable, they pierce the blockage in the corrugation to a common riser wider in diameter. This helps in many cases if the blockage has recently arisen. The cable acts as a mini-drill, helping to squeeze the cork from the corrugations into the riser. The disadvantage of this method is the fact that the cable can simply pierce the tube. If there is no sanitary cable, you can use the old hose from the shower. Flexible, it will work no worse than professional plumbing equipment. It must be pushed to the bend of the sewer pipe, then slightly turn and try to hold the cable or replace it further.

Mechanical with a plunger

The pressure in the pipe of the toilet bowl and the corrugation that is injected by the plunger helps to accurately eliminate the blockage of both organic and inorganic nature. The result is achieved due to the fact that the pressure breaks the cork into several pieces, thereby freeing the flow of drainage water.

Mechanical using cleaning corrugations

In order to apply this method, you need to block the riser. Substituting a place for a corrugation from the toilet to a standpipe, a corrugation container is carefully detached and cleaned by hand.

Chemical method

Some mud blockages can be perfectly removed with the help of special tools related to household chemicals. For example, the well-known Mole.

With the help of vinegar essence

If the blockage is assumed to be organic, you need to use the opportunity to clean the drain pipe by pouring vinegar for 10-15 minutes. It is not recommended to withstand a longer period: the essence can damage the toilet itself. Flushing the acid with water, you need to clean the toilet well with a brush. Experts recommend that after cleaning, in addition, thoroughly process all docking units with sealant.

Using soda

Use of ordinary soda works well against organic blockages. If a pack or two of soda is poured into a clogged toilet bowl, then after some time the active alkali will dissolve the created plug, freeing the way for drainage water.

Use of boiling water

Often, the blockage can be eliminated with very hot water. To clean the sewer pipe in this way, it is necessary to pre-heat the whole bucket of water. Using tacks as a hand protection from the hot edges of the container, you need to drastically pour the entire volume of liquid directly into the neck of the toilet bowl, trying to get the water jet into the hole at an angle of 90 degrees. If the blockage is not serious, then boiling water is an excellent not only penetrating, but also cleansing agent.

Using a plastic bottle

It is as follows: a two-liter plastic bottle must be cut off the bottom. The cap on the bottle must not only be left, but also wrapped stronger. After that, cut off the end of the bottle into the toilet until the moment when air resistance begins to be clearly felt. At this moment it is necessary with all your might to sharply push the bottle inside and at least dramatically pull it out. In fact, the use of the bottle resembles an improved version of the plunger. Under high pressure, pipes are cleaned without any construction tools, within a few minutes.

Preventive cleaning of drain pipes

In order to prevent blockages, it is necessary to regularly apply the chemicals widely sold today to pipe cleaning. They allow not only to clean and disinfect the surface of the toilet bowl, but also to dissolve small deposits so quickly that the clog is simply no place to take.

In addition, you need to carefully monitor what exactly goes down the drain through the toilet. For example:

• do not use too much toilet paper at one time, especially of dubious quality;
• do not throw building waste into the toilet;
• Do not attempt to dispose of large amounts of solid food into the sewage system.

Try to follow all these recommendations, and your sewer system will always work without failures.
