The bathroom is always associated with cleanliness and freshness. Unpleasant smell from the sink or drain hole of the bath can disrupt the atmosphere of comfort in the room. In addition, along with the smell in the human respiratory system penetrate all sorts of chemical elements and compounds that live in the sewer system. You can fix the problem only by determining the cause of its occurrence.

System drain water and unpleasant smell from the sink

The design of any plum provides for a siphon, the S-shaped knee of which forms the so-called "water lock". There is always a certain amount of water in the siphon, which traps odors from sewage and prevents their penetration into the room. The reason for the appearance of odors in the bathroom can be any violation of this design:

  • incorrect installation of the siphon. The plastic nipple should be submerged a few centimeters in water. If it does not reach the water seal, the smell will leak out. You can solve the problem by adjusting the height of the nozzle;

  • deformation of the corrugations. Using a corrugated pipe as a siphon, it is necessary to fix it with special devices that come with it. Otherwise, it will hang and stretch;

If it was not a specialist who was installing the siphon, the air trap can be formed incorrectly, as a result of which the water will run into the sewer system without delay or pour back into the sink.

  • long simple. If the drain has not been used for a long period, the water in the siphon can evaporate. To eliminate the unpleasant odor formed, run a large amount of water through the siphon. To prevent such a situation before a long trip, pour a little vegetable oil into the drain hole.

Other causes of odor formation and how to eliminate them

Even with a good siphon, you can detect an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. The method of its elimination depends on the cause of the appearance:

  1. The formation of damage in the sewer pipe. An unpleasant smell may not come out of the drain hole, but through chipped and cracked pipes. In this case, you should repair the damage or replace it completely.
  2. Depressurization of the seam between the drain and sewer pipe. Remove the old sealant and fill the joint with a new mixture.
  3. Airing or clogging of the riser. To solve this problem will have to seek help from specialists ZHEK.
  4. The accumulation of dirt and grease at the bottom of the siphon. Siphon can be cleaned by chemical means or mechanically.

Cleaning the siphon from contamination

If the stench is caused by a clogged siphon, try cleaning it with chemical or improvised means. In the departments of household chemicals you can buy one of the special tools (Mole, San Klin, Domestos, etc.). All of them are made on the basis of caustic soda (caustic sodium). And the difference between drugs from different manufacturers is the concentration of caustic and the difference in auxiliary additives. They can be produced in powder, liquid or gel state.

When cleaning pipes with chemicals you should follow personal safety measures. Wear rubber gloves and protect your eyes from splashing. After completing the procedure, ventilate the room.

With fresh blockages you can cope with the help of available tools:

  1. Pour table salt into the drain hole, and after 1-1.5 hours, rinse it with water.
  2. Pour soda ash into the drain, pour vinegar and close the hole with a stopper. After 30 minutes, flush the water.
  3. In a liter of boiling water dissolve 2 tablespoons of washing soda and sharply pour the solution into the hole.

If these methods do not help, you should perform a mechanical cleaning of the siphon using one of the special tools:

  • plunger  - tool for pumping air and dirt from water pipes. May be mechanical or electromechanical;
  • cable  - pushes mechanical impurities towards the larger diameter by-pass pipe.

Knowledge of the causes of the unpleasant smell from the sink or the drain hole of the bath and how to eliminate them will allow you to quickly and competently deal with this problem on your own.

Video about the causes of unpleasant smell from the sink

Modern plumbing is able to provide an adequate level of cleanliness and freshness in the kitchen or bathroom. If everything is assembled according to the instructions, it is used in accordance with the operational standards, no problems should arise. But the reality is that sometimes the functioning of the drain is disturbed, with the result that a characteristic odor may appear. Remove the smell from the sink in the kitchen will help the recommendations outlined in this article.

Before embarking on the active phase of getting rid of the fetid sewage scent, you need to find out the reasons for its occurrence.

  1. Siphon clogged. This knot first encounters leftover food, fat and other kitchen waste. And not all of them can easily pass through it further down the drain. But even those that pass, partially remain on the inner walls of the pipes and directly in the siphon. As a result, it stinks from it, and not from the sewage system, and everything is normalized if the siphon is washed or replaced with a new one.
  2. Sink is not used.  In this case, the siphon is also to blame, but not because it is clogged, but on the contrary - because there is nothing in it, not even water. The full functioning of the siphon is impossible without a certain amount of fluid inside it. The purpose of this fluid is to create the so-called water seal, which is the only barrier that prevents the penetration of air and gases from the sewer system.
  3. Siphon not properly assembled.  The installation process is quite simple and an error is possible only through ignorance and unwillingness to receive this knowledge, since the manufacturer completed the product with instruction with pictures. The correctness of the assembly depends on the design of the siphon and even a minor defect leads to the fact that the hydraulic lock is not formed. As a result, an unpleasant smell from the sewage easily gets into the room.
  4. Airlock in the riser.  The first sign of the airing of the system is the slow discharge of water and the accompanying gurgling. In multi-storey buildings, it is solved only by calling plumbing from the housing office. If this is a private mansion, the problem is in the home sewer system, which can be clogged at a considerable distance from the sink.
  5. Insufficient sealing between the riser and the corrugated pipe.  The diameter of the inlet of the riser may not correspond to the outer diameter of the corrugated pipe that comes with the siphon. If you dock these two elements without a rubber seal or an adapter, the smell will enter the room directly from the main riser.
  6. Sagging of corrugated pipe.  During operation, the corrugation is stretched and may sag. As a result, the discharge is disturbed: the wastewater either stagnates in the sagging region of the pipe, or flows out completely, without leaving a hydraulic seal.
  7. Pipe or siphon damage. Over time, the plastic on the corrugated pipe becomes less elastic, which contributes to its cracking. As for other pipes or siphons, this can happen to them only as a result of a direct destructive impact from outside.

What is dangerous sewer smell

The air from the sewage, entering the apartment or house, in addition to the disgusting smell, has a negative impact on the health of people breathing it. A person not for nothing feels an aversion to certain aromas, this happens in cases when substances emitting these smells can be harmful.

In this case, such substances as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and methane. The most strongly smelling of them is ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, methane is generally odorless, but this does not make it less harmful. If you breathe these gases constantly, the consequences will not be long in coming. First of all, the respiratory and nervous systems are affected. Perhaps for no reason, there is a feeling of anxiety, a nervous breakdown or, in rare cases, a faint.

What to do to troubleshoot

The easiest way to seek help from a plumber. But you have to wait for some time and its services are not free. In the case of complex damage without a professional can not do, but in many situations you can cope on their own.

First of all, observe the operation of the wash. If the water leaves as it should be, and the intensity of the smell does not decrease, try flushing the drainage system with hot water and cleaning products for the plumbing. If there is no positive result, we disassemble and clean the siphon, look at the pipes and, if necessary, clean them too.

A visual inspection of the drainage units from the sink will help identify cracks in the corrugated pipe or other causes of untight connections of the sewage elements. You need to make sure that the pipes are dry, there are no cracks and gaps. In case of detection of such faults, they can be eliminated with a sealant, fum, installation of special adapters or rubber seals. Unfit parts will have to be replaced.

How to eliminate unpleasant smell

Having detected a malfunction, it is necessary to immediately start its elimination; this can be done using the methods described below.

A way to get rid of the smell from the sink drain - video:

Use the cable to clean the sewer pipe

If you take an ordinary metal cable and try to clean the pipe with them, there will most likely not be a positive result. For these tasks there are special cables that are equipped with some specific modifications. Their length is 3-5 meters (there are more). The cable can be equipped with a special brush at the end or spiral hook. There is necessarily a handle with which rotational movements are performed.

To remove sewer blockage with a cable you need:

  • Free up access to the riser and pull out the corrugated siphon tube from it.
  • Insert the cable into the pipe and push it as deeply as possible.
  • With one hand we begin to rotate the movable handle of the device, while the other hand holds the outer casing. In the process of cleaning the cable, as if screwed into the pipe.
  • Having done these manipulations until the cable rests on the blockage, we try to push it further along the pipe or pull it out with a hook at the end of the cable.
  • There is a third option - to try to break through the cable with a cable, and then to destroy it as much as possible, consistently moving the cable in opposite directions.


  After the procedure, the instrument should be thoroughly washed, lubricated with engine oil to prevent corrosion, and folded for storage.

Vantuz

This sanitary fixture should be used if there is confidence that the siphon is clogged and there is no desire to disassemble it. Remove the clog from the sink with a small plunger. If the range is limited to one copy, use the one that is.

  1. Install the rubber cap on the hole for the sink in the sink.
  2. Turn on the hot water and collect such a quantity of it so that it covers the cap of the plunger.
  3. We close the water and make movements with a plunger, alternating directions up and down, pumping water inside the cap.
  4. After several forward movements, the plunger must be pulled out, with the result that part of the siphon contents will be in the sink.
  5. Turn on hot water and wash away the remaining dirt.

If suddenly the plunger was not at hand, and you need to quickly get rid of clogging in the sink, you can use improvised means, for example, a paper bag from milk or juice. We cut the top cover of the package, cover the cut-off hole in the sink and follow the instructions for cleaning with a plunger, starting with 3 points.

Disassemble siphon

Before you disassemble it, you need to make sure that the reason is in it. To do this, it is enough to pull the corrugation out of the riser, put it in a bucket and pour water into the sink. If the water from the flutes does not flow, disassemble and look siphon.

  1. Substituting the bucket under the siphon so as not to pour out the water that may be in it
  2. Turn off the bottom, the so-called reservoir. Inspect, clean, if you do not help disassemble further.
  3. We unscrew all plastic nuts and carefully remove the pipes. Then you need to remove the blockage, and collect the siphon back.

After complete disassembly and cleaning, everything should work as expected, if properly assembled (see instructions for the siphon).

We use cleaning products

Remove contamination in the sink can be both kitchen products, and with the help of special tools. Consider the most effective ways:


In addition to the "mole" there is still a lot of special tools, the use of which is regulated by the instructions attached to them. You can buy them in supermarkets or shops of household chemicals.

Preventive actions

In order to remove sewage odor from the sink in the kitchen or bathroom as few as possible, you need to follow some rules:


Conclusion

There are many methods to get rid of the smell of washing. The main thing is to identify the cause and choose the appropriate way to eliminate it. In most situations, the problem can be solved on its own using the above recommendations. If all attempts do not bring the desired result, or simply do not want to poke around in siphons and pipes, leave it to the professionals - let people earn.

The smell of pipes in the kitchen: 3 main reasons and methods for their elimination

You do not know how to get rid of the unpleasant smell coming from the sewer pipes in the kitchen? The experience I have gained suggests that it is not necessary to call the plumber for this, in most cases it is quite possible to cope with the problem yourself. Consider them in more detail.

We find the cause and eliminate it.

Why the sink can start to stink? As a result:

  1. Pipe clogging;
  2. Depressurization of the body part of the pipeline;
  3. Violations of the water seal.

Consider everything in order:

Reason number 1: clogged pipes

The most common reason for the appearance of malodorous evaporation from the sink is the accumulation in the pipeline of fat, food debris and other debris that interferes with the free movement of wastewater. We are not talking about the formation of a complete congestion, since in this situation the problems will be much more serious than some odors.

But some reduction in the diameter of the sewer pipe is enough to make staying indoors problematic without a gas mask. The following methods will help to eliminate the smell from the sink in the kitchen:

Before proceeding with cleaning the pipes themselves, I recommend that you first disassemble and remove all the accumulated debris from the siphon. It is likely that the source of the stench is just in it, and not in the pipeline.

A photo Description

Home remedies. The price of such a solution to the problem is relatively low, since you will most likely be able to find everything you need right there in the kitchen:
  1. Fall asleep  with your hands into the drain hole of soda and salt;
  2. Fill  boiling water. The solution that has poured in will corrode the fat deposits and resume normal water flow in the sink.

The volume of ingredients can be changed depending on the severity of the problem:

  • A glass of soda, a glass of salt and a kettle of boiling water  for periodic pipeline prevention;
  • A pack of soda, a pack of salt and 2 liters of boiling waterif the bad smell has already appeared.

Household chemicals. This option will be a little more expensive, but it will show greater efficiency in the event of a significant accumulation of waste in the pipes and will be able to eliminate the smell of sewage more quickly.

Suitable tools such as:

  • Mole;
  • Tiret;
  • Pipe Cleaner;
  • Steril;
  • Pothan;
  • Deboucher.

Vantuz. The appearance resembles a large suction cup on a wooden or plastic handle. It helps to get rid of even serious jams.

Application instruction:

  1. Dial  in the sink water;
  2. Attach  plunger suction cup to the drain hole;
  3. To make  several forward movements upwards;
  4. Sharp  remove the tool, letting the water flow complete the cleaning of the pipeline.

Before using household chemicals, I recommend wearing rubber gloves and opening the window. With large volumes it is worth using even a respirator. The fact is that direct contact with cleaning substances and their evaporation can harm a person.

Reason 2: depressurization of the body of the pipeline

If smells come from under the sink, then it’s not a matter of clogging up the pipeline, but of breaking its tightness. There are also several situations possible:

A photo Description

Deformation  threaded connection in the siphon or the appearance of cracks in it. Both situations are due to the fact that the installed hydraulic device does not cope with the volumes of fluid that enter it. Therefore, it makes no sense to try to fix it, it is better to immediately change to a more voluminous model.

Deformation  sealing ring at the junction of the sewer pipe and socket. What to do in this case?

There are three possible solutions to the problem:

  • Dismantling  joints and seal replacement;
  • Sealing  joints with silicone sealant when it comes to plastic pipes;
  • Sealing  joints with rubber strap when it comes to cast iron pipes.

Pipeline crack. There is no need to rely on silicone, only a rubber band or a clamp with similar properties will help.

Reason number 3: violation of the trap

The hydraulic lock forms a siphon or a bent pipe made of corrugations, plastic or stainless steel. It is a permanent water plug, which does not let the smell of sewage into the kitchen. If the water level in it drops, then all unpleasant odors enter the room.

Consider the situations in which there may be a violation of the water castle:

  • Straightened corrugated tube. We return it to the desired position, fixing with scotch tape;
  • Small diameter in the riser or poor ventilation in the sewer. In these cases, it is better to immediately call the plumber, you yourself can not handle;
  • Water evaporated due to long downtime.. Just start using the sink again.

If you leave the house for a long time and do not want unpleasant smells to creep into rooms during your absence, add engine oil to the water seal. It will significantly slow down the evaporation process.

Conclusion

You are familiar with how to get rid of the unpleasant smell from the pipes in the kitchen. The video in this article contains additional material. In the comments you can ask questions.

It happens that a persistent unpleasant odor appears in the kitchen room, which is impossible to get rid of by simple ventilation. When the search for a source of stench begins, the cause reveals itself rather quickly - the smell comes from the drain hole of the kitchen sink.

It smells like it is like an open sewer in the room. It is quite clear that in such conditions, where disgusting aromas hover, and even more so, to eat food, is not at all pleasant and comfortable. If there is such a nuisance, you need to take adequate measures.

Do not rush to the challenge of professional, expensive plumbing. You can first try to cope with the problem and eliminate the cause of the malfunction. We begin consideration of the set of measures that need to be taken.

How to remove the smell from the sink?

1. Flushing pipes with active agents

On the inner surface of the walls of the drain pipe and the siphon is constantly increasing accumulation of fat deposits with particles of food debris.

In such “comfortable” conditions, of course, the processes of decay begin — moisture is present, heat and air — nothing else is needed.

Watch the video how to get rid of the unpleasant smell from the sink

  If the situation is not too neglected and the fat has not yet had time to become strongly compacted and very tightly adhering to the walls of the pipes, flushing the channel with special means can help. These compounds are specifically designed for the active destruction and removal of fatty, decaying deposits and blockages in the domestic areas of the drain pipes. Perfectly cope with this task:

- Domestos;

- Odorgon

- “Mole” and similar means.

2. If there is no special equipment at home

When the special cleaning agent ends, and it is not possible to quickly acquire a new one, you can try cleaning it with improvised means and substances.

Probably, someone remembers from the school chemistry course that fat is perfectly split by ordinary soda. It is necessary to dilute 2 tablespoons (with a slide) of baking soda in 1.1 liter of heated water and pour the prepared solution into the sink drain pipe. The result will be felt in about 20 minutes - the smell will significantly weaken. It will not completely disappear, but the situation will noticeably improve.

  The second method involves the use of the same soda, in combination with 9% vinegar, and not with hot water. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of soda directly into the sink hole to drain, and then pour 120 ml of vinegar (lemon juice) into the same place.

There will be a violent chemical reaction, which will “well” pass through the inner surface of the pipes and destroy fatty, rotting adhesions.

Such procedures must be performed regularly, about two to three times per month.

3. Troubleshooting in the drain system

When, after several consecutive washings with active substances, the smell has remained, it is worth looking for another reason. Most often it consists in the breakdown and improper functioning of plumbing equipment.

It is necessary to provide access to the pipe and conduct a thorough inspection of it. May be:

- depressurization of butt joints;

- loss of integrity of the pipe itself.

If there are no external defects, then it is necessary to listen to the sounds of water flowing from the sink. The definition of gurgling effect indicates breakage of the water seal.

Attention!  During normal operation of the drain system, water must always be present in the siphon cavity. This is a kind of obstacle to fumes and odors from the sewer system!

The reason for the lack of water retention in the knee of the siphon may be in the erroneous assembly of the liner - it may be too long or an excessively large bias will be made.

  Also, the cause of the stench may be technological omissions made during the construction of the house, for example, the mismatch of the diameter of the sewer riser engineering calculations.

Washing dirty dishes with bits of fat and sticky food leaves its mark on the walls of the drain system. A large accumulation of these particles leads to decay and an unpleasant odor. No less important in this case is the state of the drain and siphon, whose exit from the work also makes itself felt.

  Sources of smell

It is easy to determine the source of your troubles, it is enough to examine all possible objects that can cause an unpleasant smell in the kitchen. First of all, pay special attention to the siphon, the drain pipe and the sewage system. These three plumbing parts are most vulnerable to clogging and dirt buildup. Also inspect the space between the sink and the wall; a hose may have broken off, water flowed, or an old dirty washcloth or floor cloth stuck.

If the water passes badly and as a result, there is a smell, you should inspect the sewer system. Perhaps a large object has fallen into the sink, which has created a cork or a blockage has formed. It is the last option is one of the most common causes of the very darling of the shell. The greatest blockage is concentrated in the siphon. It is here during the washing of dirty dishes accumulates a huge amount of fat, debris, dirt, hair particles, sticky food debris and burning. Of course, special gratings for the sink hole help minimize waste getting into the drain system. However, over time, even such gentle care gives cracks. A precipitate forms on the walls of the siphon, which begins to rot and smell.

Help solve this problem by cleaning the siphon. The mechanism of action is as follows. Substitute a bucket under the bottom of the siphon bottom, carefully unscrew the lid and remove all accumulated dirt, fix the lid in its place. After that, wash plums with boiling water with a small amount of detergent. If the siphon has a corrugated tube, then it must also be disconnected and thoroughly cleaned. But in houses with an old drainage system, it is quite problematic to disconnect the siphon, especially with a cast-iron knee.

If the water passes badly and as a result, there is a smell, you should inspect the sewer system.

The main purpose of the siphon is to create a water seal, that is, a special barrier blocking the evaporation and penetration of foreign odors into the apartment from the hole in the sink. If there is no odor trap in the siphon, then the appearance of extraneous odors is inevitable.

Most often, the problem lies in the improper installation of the drain system itself with a siphon. Depending on the type of construction, this problem can be solved in the following ways. If you have a bottle-type siphon, properly fix the location of the drain pipe so that it is about 2-3 cm below the water level.

With a corrugated sink, it is important that the tube remains slightly bent and does not straighten. Check the installation and, if necessary, give the desired shape. This will help create a water seal, and so that the tube does not return to its previous position again, fix it with special clips.

If there is no odor trap in the siphon, then the appearance of foreign odors is inevitable.

Other reasons for the violation of a hydraulic lock may be a vacuum breakdown. A characteristic sign of this violation is the gurgling of water in the clogged drain hole. To solve this problem in two ways. The first of them is the cleaning of the fan tube, for which it is best to seek help from a specialist. The second is the installation of a vacuum valve, which normalizes the pressure in the sewer.

  Other causes of smell from the sink

In addition to the main reasons for the appearance of the smell from the drain hole, there are minor, which also provoke this problem.

If the unpleasant smell is concentrated under the sink, then perhaps the reason lies in the violation of the tightness of the structure and the appearance of cracks. To find the same source, you need to smoothly open the water and look at the state of pipes and joints. If water seeps at the junction of the pipes, then fixing the problem will help secure fixing with silicone sealant or replacement of the sealant. In case of cracks, we immediately replace the old pipe with a new one. If a leak occurs, it can be absorbed into the flooring. Therefore, after replacing pipes and linings, thoroughly clean the floor with a refreshing detergent.

The reason for the smell may lie in the violation of tightness

  Long absence of operation

If you have not used the sink for a long time, the water in the drain system may stagnate and the walls dry up, which also provokes an unpleasant smell. Therefore, before a long trip or trip, add a couple of spoons of vegetable oil to the drain hole. This will allow you to create a reliable coating film, prevent moisture evaporation and odor distribution at the same time.

  Methods for cleaning the drain system

To clean the sewage system and all parts of the drain system from clogging, as well as remove odor from the sink, chemical and mechanical means are used. Recently, the hydrodynamic installation that flushes the sewage system under high water pressure is no less popular.

The basis of soda is sodium carbonate, however, as in many chemical cleaners. Therefore, this substance can be attributed to the national means of combating odor, clogging in the sink and similar chemical exposure. This tool can be combined or used separately.

For the first option, prepare a solution. Dissolve three tablespoons of baking soda or soda in heat water and pour the mixture into a drain, leaving it for 20-30 minutes. After some time, wash the drain with warm water, and even better scald with boiling water.

   Vinegar
   Soda

This method works well with minor blockages. If the problem is more pronounced, then you can combine the use of soda with vinegar. To do this, pour about half a pack of soda into the drain hole and pour it with a glass of vinegar. The mixture will begin to sizzle and foam, this is a normal chemical process. We also leave this mixture to interact with the walls of the drain system, then scald everything with boiling water and rinse thoroughly. To combine the healthy with the pleasant, use lemon juice instead of vinegar. This will allow you to not only cope with the problem, but also fill the kitchen with a citrus scent.

For better results and higher pH levels, like chemical cleaning agents, experts recommend to heat the soda in a dry frying pan, and after cooling down, dilute it with water and pour it into the drain hole.

Attention, do not pour water into the pan with hot soda, otherwise you can get a chemical burn.

If you have a serious blockage and unbearably terrible smell, use chemical means of cleaning sewer pipes. They contain sodium, which softens the plaque that forms on the walls. However, when using these tools, be extremely careful to follow the instructions carefully so that the caustic chemical components do not tear apart the walls of the plastic pipes. So before using the tool, familiarize yourself with the proportions and application rules.

Such drugs are sold in a wide variety of variations, in the form of powders, granules, gels and liquids. Powdered preparations are slow, so consumers prefer more liquid ingredients. They have a relatively equal cost, so here it is important to rely on the gentle impact of the means that does not destroy the polymer base of the drain system. We can recommend Tiret, Mr. Muskul and the well-known Mole.

Observe safety precautions.

While working with any means for cleaning the sewage do not forget about safety rules.

Wear rubber gloves and a respirator on your hands to avoid skin burns and mucositis. Pour the liquid into the sink hole slowly, without splashing. Leave the solution to interact with sediments on the walls of the sewer for the time specified in the instructions. After that, rinse the drain system with plenty of water and scald it with boiling water. Such an event will help you get rid of the blockage and completely eliminate the smells disturbing you from the sink.

Unfortunately, not all types of blockages and odor can be eliminated with the help of folk and chemical means. Occasionally, seals and congestion in the sewer pipes are so serious that only special mechanical devices can cope with them. Among them, plumbing cable, metal tape, spiral loops, etc. are used. Outwardly, all these devices differ from each other, but in practice they have one mechanism of action - the elimination of blockage and the removal of residual solid particles into the central sewage system or septic tank.

If you do not have such specialized tools in your home, you can use steel wire. The main thing that it was flexible and easily penetrated into all hard-to-reach places. When removing hair and pieces of cloth, use a hook attachment.

   Plumbing cable
   Steel wire

However, the best adaptation is still a plumbing cable, thanks to a convenient design. The spiral has good flexibility and penetrates into all parts of the drain system, and the handle allows rotational movements without sliding along the arm. In addition, you can always choose a model that is convenient for you, based on the characteristics and diameter of the pipes.

Before you start cleaning, do not forget to prepare buckets and rags, as well as put on old clothes. Believe me, this is all for you. After the end of the procedure, and washstand, using for this.

  Hydrodynamic installation - a new solution

An unusual way to combat clogging is to remove the plug with the help of strong water pressure that pushes all the clogged particles out. For these purposes, a special compressor is used that runs on mains or on gasoline. It provides a large flow of water into the hose under pressure. This method helps to cope even with extra syllables themselves.

When conducting this procedure yourself, consider several important rules:

  • pressure and pressure of water supply;
  • the amount of solid particles and the scale of the blockage;
  • material of which sewer system is made.

Especially be careful when using this installation with plastic pipes. If the plastic is of poor quality and is made of cheap polymeric materials, then under high pressure of water and mechanical impact, its fragile walls can not withstand the pressure and collapse.
