Plumbing work. How to clean the blockage in the toilet?

Sooner or later the sewage system fails. This happens regardless of where it is installed: in a high-rise apartment or in a private house. Especially unpleasant situation when the toilet was hammered. How do I clean a sanitary product? What methods and adaptations are there? About this later in the article.

Causes

First, you need to find out why the toilet was hammered. With proper use of plumbing, this problem should not arise. But if an unpleasant situation does happen, then there is an extraneous object in the toilet. Usually it is a rag, packets or a lot of paper. To solve the problem, you need to extract the object from the system. As a rule, tenants of multi-apartment high-rise buildings face this situation. Most of all, no luck for those who live on the lower floors.

How to clear the blockage in the toilet quickly? What is a plunger, many know. This object is effectively used to eliminate small blockages. Ideally, the plunger must be present at the farm. Ego's functionality allows you to "loosen up" the blockage quickly enough. A few recommendations, how to clear the blockage in the toilet using a plunger. The pumping technology is quite simple, and you can cope with it without much difficulty. Before you start cleaning the drain hole, you should fill the toilet with water. Further, the hole is covered with a dome of a plunger, and several clicks are made on its handle. The device must then be abruptly removed. These manipulations are carried out several times. It is thanks to these simple consecutive movements that there is a rapid loosening of uncomplicated obstructions. After a while, water can begin to leave unimpeded, where it should be.

How to clean the toilet with a cable?

It also happens that the use of the plunger does not bring the expected result. In this case, experts recommend using a special flexible cable. This device is actually a hollow rigid axis. It is equipped with a rotary handle. At the end of the axis is attached a thick spiral process, made of thick wire. He is connected to the cable with a flexible tube. It is thanks to its availability that the entire device is generally more mobile and prevents mechanical damage to the surface of the sanitary ware. How can I clean the litter in the toilet with this device? To begin with, the spiral end of the cable should be lowered into the drain hole until it stops. The handle should be turned clockwise. In this case, the cable is pushed deeper into the water trap. By these actions the blockage must be destroyed. This cleaning is completed by flushing the drainage system.

Homemade accessories

If the jig has not helped and there is no cable, then you can take advantage of what is at hand. For example, make a "doll". A small rag bag should be filled with sand and a rope tied to it. "Doll" falls into the drain hole. Then press the flush lever while simultaneously lowering the rope so that the water flow carries it into the funnel. The bag is heavy enough, so it must break through the blockage. This method is good, but the sand, again, may not be at hand. To help in this case can come an ordinary plastic bottle. It is not difficult to find such a thing. How to clean the toilet with a bottle? Very simple. The bottle is cut off the bottom - it will be a homemade plunger. It should be said that all movements by this device must be carried out abruptly. As with the plunger, the toilet should be filled with water, the bottle covered with a drainage hole cut off by a part downwards. Further on the device is sharply pressed and also sharply it is taken out. For greater efficiency, manipulations are performed several times.

Chemicals

The above are recommendations on how to clean the obstruction in a toilet bowl by mechanical means. But chemical means are also quite popular. They fall into several categories:

- powders;

- Sprays;

- granules;

- liquid.

In order to determine what means to use, it is necessary to understand the nature of the clogging. If you have a problem, do not panic. You should calmly understand the situation and make the best decision. If you do not have special synthetic agents at hand, you can use ordinary baking soda. This method is effective for simple blockages. To eliminate them, poured a half-pint of soda into the drain hole. Alkaline environment, which is formed, contributes to the destruction of some blockages. But in difficult situations it is better to use more effective methods.

Conclusion

Of course, the litter in the toilet - the situation is not pleasant. Eliminate the problem as quickly as possible, as it can lead to malfunctioning of other parts of the sewage system. The most important thing is to understand the reason. This will allow you to choose the most suitable tool. Meanwhile, experts do not recommend abusing household chemicals. Some products can negatively affect the condition of sanitary elements. Therefore, when choosing household chemicals in the store, you should consult the seller. Usually, the elimination of blockages in the toilet bowl or other parts of the sewage system does not take much time. But, as has already been said above, it all depends on the nature of the pollution. If the blockage can not be eliminated with the help of the described means and devices, it is necessary to call a specialist. In this case, all the work will be done by a professional.
