Why can pipes and siphon clog? There are many reasons: this is fat mixed with detergents, hair, pets wool, pieces of washcloth and rags. Water can take place in the sink and bath more slowly and slower, an unpleasant smell may appear. All this is not only annoying, but also interferes with normally accepting water procedures. You can get rid of the problem yourself, there are many ways to clean the blockage in the bathroom.
Why do blocks in the bathroom arise?
Before starting to solve the problem, you must try to find out the reason. There may be several of them. The most dangerous - if a bath or sink clogged because the error was allowed during the installation of sewer pipes. For example, the angle was incorrectly sustained during the installation of pipes. This is one of the most common reasons that to fight improvised means and any folk methods will not work. We will have to eliminate the problem in this way: to dismantle old pipes and carry out the installation of pipes, according to the norms.
The second reason and one of the most common is neglect of preventive measures during the adoption of water procedures. Small objects, hair, spools from clothes, threads, pieces of washcloth, rags can fall into the drain and score a hole.
There is a third option-if metal sewer pipes are installed in the apartment, they can clog due to the fact that a mineral growth is formed inside. The reason is the time, such pipes remained in the old houses, over the years the internal diameter could decrease significantly, which caused a blockage. It is no longer possible to fix the situation, it is only necessary to change the old metal pipes to modern plastic ones.
How to get rid of a blockage in the bathroom
There are several ways to eliminate blockage in the bathroom:
- Mechanically, using special tools.
- Eliminating a strong blockage in the bath - using special drugs. It can be both chemicals and folk remedies.
How to clean the blockage in the bath:
- You will need a plunger that will help clean the drain hole. Take a plunger, prepare a cork or dense rag to close the drain hole in order to prevent the “corridor” of air. Vaselin will also need to lubricate the paste of the vantuse. Thus, you can ensure a tight contact of the device for cleaning pipes with a drain hole. It is necessary to insert the plum to the plum and with sharp movements to the back and forth try to burn out the blockage and all the existing pollution. If the blockage is dense, perhaps the first time you will not succeed. You need to try again and again or try the second method.
- We take the same plunger and turn on hot water. The hotter, the better. It is necessary to dial the third part of the bath, and then pump this water into the pipeline with a plunger. Rolling - with sharp movements, pulling out the vantuz as sharply as possible. Thus, you can clean the drain hole. It will be seen if the water begins to leave faster, then the blockage was almost able to remove.
How else can you break the blockage in the bath? A special cable for cleaning sewer plums. This device is sold in any business store, it is inexpensive. But if you do not have such an adaptation at home, it can be made from a piece of a metal flexible rod so that it is possible to wrap it on one side and fluff the tip on the other side. So the device will penetrate the bends of the pipes well and will not rest on the knee (this is one of the most common errors when performing such work). To make it more convenient to work, it is advisable to wrap the cable with a braid to make a comfortable handle.
How to work with a cable:
- First of all, you need to understand that if it is necessary to remove the blockage formed inside plastic pipes, you need to act carefully so as not to break through the thin plastic.
- It is better to work with an assistant so that one introduces, pushing the cable into the drain, and the second assistant rotated the cable. As soon as you go through a couple of turns and reach the place of Zasor, it will immediately be felt, since then the cable will enter heavier.
- At this stage, it is necessary to make several jerks “back and forth” with the movement, and then turn on the hot water strong pressure and slowly remove the cable, gradually washing off the dirt that will go out.
Using a cable, you can both take out accumulated garbage and push it inside, into a wide part of the sewer. But you always need to try to take out the garbage outward so that the dense lump does not get stuck in the depths of sewer pipes, where the cable cannot reach.
There is another way to eliminate the blockage in the bathroom if the garbage has accumulated almost on the surface. To do this, use the crook with a hook at the end. It must be lowered into a drain hole, crochet garbage to remove it to the surface. This method is effective only if the blockage is formed almost on top, on the surface of the drain hole.
How to remove blockage in a bath with chemicals
When there is no time for dirty work, because a hook, a plunger and a cable, although effective devices, but always on the surface are pieces of hair mixed with detergents, fat, wool. It is quite unpleasant when you have to clean the blockage and then eliminate the garbage. Therefore, there are special chemicals that allow you to easily and quickly get rid of blockage.
Recommendations for the choice of chemicals:
- We go to a household chemical store, select a tool that can dissolve pets wool and hair.
- We carefully read the instructions on the package so that this drug is really designed to clean sewer pipes.
- You can choose both liquid agents and powder.
- How to use chemicals: according to the instructions. As a rule, powder or liquid should be poured/poured into a drain hole, it is immediately necessary to pour 1 cup of warm water.

- After the time is withstanded, it is necessary to open a crane with hot water in order to wash off all the garbage and rinse the pipes well.
