Effective ways to clean the drain pipes with their own hands

most problematic of all utilities, one way or another connected with water - drainage system.It blockages, and even complete blockage of sewer pipes deliver a lot of trouble to the owner of a private house, forcing him to spend time on their elimination.If we consider all the surrounding such "accidents" in trouble (for example, the spout sewage from plumbing fixtures to the floor), then explain that prevention - the best way to avoid many of the problems is hardly worth it.

Especially that such contingencies occur most often (according to all the law known) in the most inopportune time.How to effectively clean the sewer pipes in the house, what are the methods of cleaning that are available for the realization of their own hands - the theme of this article.

Ways and means of pipe cleaning

Cable

wire - to - sewer reason it is considered that the cable is only used to remove blockages.Currently available products are found in different versions - and along the length and across the section.It is not linear in their parameters;for the prevention of pipe will fit any pattern.If the tip to bend a few (at an angle), then rotating the cable in any case he will always touch the walls in various places.Consequently, they formed layers can be at least partially "tear off".

After repeated "penetration" of the pipe (opportunities to its length depends on the cable length) will only qualitatively shed its hot water - all exfoliated fraction will be removed from this site.

As an option - set at the end of the cable attachment.For example, to strengthen the nut, or "butterfly" of the wire.If you focus on the section of the pipe, the wit she will tell you that you can make with your own hands.

Attention!If the pipes are made of plastic, it is necessary to be careful.Any scratch on the inner cavity of the workpiece in the future - a potential place of accumulation of various deposits.

Plunger

plunger Such an arrangement is in every house, and tell them to use the procedure does not make sense.But in the feature of channel cleaning operations to draw the reader's attention is because it does not take into account all this, doing the cleaning of the sewer system.

We all know from school with the law of communicating vessels.Sewage pipe consists of a total drain pipes to taps which are connected by plumbing and some household appliances.For example, a machine dish-washing (especially for fixed installation).Therefore, working plunger in one place, all the other "points" drain must be kept tightly closed.In the bathroom, the sink clog drains easy pieces of cloth (rags).




In a private house, as opposed to apartments in apartment buildings, such places are quite a few.They should be sealed every one.Plus - the toilet seat omitted (if the toilets a few), and further crushed by some heavy object.Only this kind of training will give the desired effect.The more so because it is not the elimination of clogging, but the prophylactic cleaning internal cavities of pipes from deposits.

As an option - to convert plunger.The handle is removed, and in place of its attachment to cut a hole under the section of the tube of a vacuum cleaner hose.Technology is changing - instead of pumping pipe made its air blowing.Naturally, the hose connection to the vacuum cleaner otherwise - to blow nozzle.

plunger - 2

Bottle

If nothing more appropriate at hand is not present, then the plunger instead of fit and so-called "poltorashka".Its upper part (in the vicinity of the transition to the neck) cut off, and it is installed on the drain hole.Clutching / clenched fingers, you can create a positive pressure and an air "bubble" will begin to drive the water through the system.Is it effective in the prevention - is questionable, but the fact that in some cases, this way you can eliminate a small obstruction, confirmed by practice.

Chemicals

appropriate formulations available in abundance, from cheap to expensive.How to use them, is contained in the instructions.

  • All preparations are divided mainly into alkaline and acidic.It is not recommended to use them together - or means of one category or another;they can not be mixed.
  • When shopping options in the tools necessary to understand the specifics of its application.Not all products are suitable for cleaning the roads from PE, PP, because they contain harsh chemicals that corrode plastic.
  • Do not trust the hype and reviews posted on niche sites.It is no secret that many of them - custom.Poll acquaintances, friends, neighbors, their opinion about a particular product - this is the main selection criterion.

cleaning - pipe - soda

There are several simple "folk" methods of cleaning pipes, which give no less efficacy results:

  • Boiling water. is enough to fill a couple of liters drain, and then work intensively plunger.And so - several cycles.
  • Soda. In some cases it is advisable before pouring the boiling water into the sink to pour a glass or two.After a while - spilling hot water system.This method allows you to get rid of the smell coming from the pipes, so it is recommended to practice regularly.
  • Soda + salt. such mixture being prepared at the rate of 1 to 1. After thorough mixing, the mass is poured tartaric acid (0.5 times the volume of any component).For example, if a measure is taken in a large beaker, the 1 + 1 + 0.5.The prepared solution is poured in the drain hole and the top - hot water (about 0.5 liters)., A long time do not need to deposit on the walls of the tubes softened.After that, you need a good shed all water pipe (can be cold), opening the valve and leave it in this position for 5 - 10 minutes.
  • As an option - to fill the mixture, pour boiling water and leave for several hours (overnight).It is advisable to do if the pipe or severely clogged, or long serves.
  • Soda + Acid (vinegar). For one drain enough for half a cup.The technology is simple - is filled with soda, then poured vinegar.All adhering and solidified fraction will soften, and they will be easy to wash with hot water.Depending on the degree of contamination of the system, this operation is repeated several times.

thermal method

clean - water drain - pipe strait hot water system should be done always after washing the dishes or processing of products in the sink.Fat, which hit the pipe must be removed from the highway, until it has adhered to the wall.It is therefore not necessary to immediately turn off the tap after completion of the work.Minute 3 - 4 is enough to all the factions left in the well (about the sewers of concrete rings here).Such a technique is part of the prevention of, and if it is to practice constantly, the cleaning of the system in other ways greatly facilitated, and the frequency of such services - will increase.

If you want to process a specific area, then, as an option - a hose connected at one end to the hot water tap.Second - in the drain pipe.Across the sewer line in a private home is located a few technological openings that in such situations, and used.Installation on the immersion end of the hose orifice (nozzle) will increase the pressure of hot water and increase the effectiveness of the operation, as a stronger jet qualitative cleanse the inner cavity of the track.

few comments

Almost all the described methods are effective and eliminating blockages.

Some unambiguous recommendations for timing of maintenance work to give meaningless - all sewer "loaded" system (operated) with varying degrees of intensity.

Practice shows - if the owner of the "average" is engaged in a private house cleaning pipe about once a month and a half, the likelihood of accidents is reduced significantly.

On the feasibility of the next maintenance drain line can be measured by a number of adverse signs:

  • first - reduction of the rate of water from the bath or sink (the sink).
  • second - the emergence of a sustainable (sometimes sharp) odor, which does not disappear even after prolonged ventilation of the room.

For preventive maintenance of private buildings throughout the sewer system (taking into account its length and configuration), it is useful to periodically invite specialists and clean pipe machine - hydrodynamic method.This service costs from 3 800 rubles (Moscow region), but the money spent guarantee trouble-free operation for a long time communication.If we compare with the cost of a single service to eliminate the clogging (of the order of 2 900 - 3 200 rubles, depending on the complexity of the operation), the expenditure on prevention more than justified.

quality cleaning pipes is only possible by the combined method.For example, the "chemistry" + "Fluid Dynamics";"Mechanics", coupled with the subsequent strait system.Only an integrated approach to service line will give the desired effect.
