Techniques for cleaning sewage drains
- Chemical. Includes the use of chemically active components to clean the sink. They act on the organic base of the plug, entering into a chemical reaction with it, namely decompose. This principle of cleaning is simple and does not require labor resources, it is enough to buy a product in the store and fill it in a pipe, and after a while rinse thoroughly with water.
But it's worth understanding that if the congestion in the pipe is impressive, then no chemistry here will help. Chemicals will cope only with organic, and for other contaminants it is worth taking more stringent measures and tools. - Mechanical. It is typical for him to use a mechanical tool, which, in fact, pierces the plug with direct contact. This method involves the use of a cable. As for the cable, it is inserted into the pipe and thereby breaks the mash. It should be taken into account that the method is cheap, once you have bought a cable, you can use it repeatedly, and household chemicals, besides expensive, is still quickly over and not always effective.
The cleaning process is roughly the same as labor, but it looks like the next step.
The cable is lowered into the open drainage space and gradually moved to the place of the plug while the tool is being scrolled. When the cork is groped, it is necessary to add strength and pierce a gap in it, so that the stream of jammed garbage merges, then several more times, roll the cable in place of the mash, and then rinse with plenty of water.
In words, it seems that there is nothing complicated in this, but difficulties will still arise. One of these is the search for sump opening( s).Often, plumbers unscrew the siphon in the toilet bowl, or revisions. Also, the cable will accumulate a large amount of dirt, which is pulled out of the pipe, so be prepared for the fact that the work is not clean.
Hydraulic. The method destroys the plug in the sink with the help of ordinary water, or rather, the force of its pressure and hydraulic shock. The working tool in this method is a plunger, and a hydrodynamic nozzle( expensive).How to clean the sewer pipe is undoubtedly decided by the landlord, it is worthwhile to understand that this kind of cleaning is no less labor-intensive than mechanical, but much more effective and productive.
The usual air hose, unfortunately, is able to relieve only small contaminants and then with the help of chemistry.
But the hydrodynamic nozzle, in the next photo can create almost miracles.
How to clean the sewer pipe with a plunger:
- The drain hole is filled with water, a plunger is put on top.
- The handle of the plunger forcefully pushes the top and bottom, from itself and towards itself, while creating water and pressure within the movement.
- Hydraulic shock destroys the plug.
Hydraulic nozzle
The nozzle is mounted on a cable and inserted into the pipeline to the plug itself, then a special compressor is supplied with ordinary water under high pressure. Again, a hydraulic shock destroys the cork. Under such a flow of water and pressure, no sewage discharge can resist.
Thermal. The point is to send the pair into the pipe. A tool similar to a nozzle is used. Instead of water, steam is formed, which pushes the blockage without excess fluid, as is the case with water. Steam does not add weight and volume to the clog, but also disinfects the pipe, it easily fights with organic clogs and even ice cork.
This method was the most effective for any type of pollution, the equipment costs a decent amount of money. Therefore, it is available in emergency brigades and private house cleaning services.
