Was the bath drain drained? Vantuz - the first tool
First, close the upper overflow opening of the bath to create a seal. Best of all, when the assistant closes it with the second plunger. Another option is to glue it with adhesive tape. After this, take the plunger, the rubber cup of which completely covers the drain hole in diameter. Tightly press it to the sink and do about ten vigorous pumping.
For better loosening and pushing the blockage, pour in a hot water bath so that it reaches the height of the bowl of the plunger. If the cork can not be deleted the first time - we repeat all over again.
The tub is clogged. What to do with the plumbing cable?
If the plug is very dense and is far in the pipe, then a plumbing cable will be required. The task of the plumbing cable is to hook the garbage and pull it out. If this is not possible, then a useful device must push the plug into the main line.
This work is better done together. We put the cable in the drain hole and, rotating it, gradually pushing inward. One person pushes, and the other - rotates. In this case, you need to make sure that the cable is constantly tense. Rotation helps to easier pass the turns of the sewer pipe and, screwing into the blockage, it is better to break it.
Once the clogged area has been overcome, the voltage will decrease. This means you need to make several jerks "forward-backward", open hot water and carefully pull out the cable. Simultaneously, the dirt will be washed.
If the sewerage is clogged, you can use chemical agents
Since chemicals contain acids or alkalis, safety must be observed. So we'll put on gloves and open the window. Before work, we will necessarily study the instruction and check whether this product is suitable for our pipes.
Warning! Do not mix acid-containing and alkaline agents: there will be a neutralization reaction.
Following the instructions, pour the drug into the sink and leave it for a while for the reaction to proceed. After that, we wash out the sink with a strong head of water. If necessary, we can use a plunger. You can recall the folk method - baking soda and vinegar. The use of these products is safe for health. Therefore, do not rush to apply chemicals immediately.
So:
- put a half-pint of soda into the pipe and fill it with about a glass of vinegar. After the vinegar is poured, immediately we will plug the drain hole with a rag;
- leave the mixture for about thirty minutes to complete the reaction;
- half an hour slowly fill the kettle of boiling water and check the result.
If necessary, repeat the procedure.
