Ad in the toilet nothing to throw. Causes of blockages in the sewer or Do not discharge into the sewer! Leaders of non-food waste - fabric materials

So your meeting came to an end, your head cleared up, your body felt better, and you, full of enthusiasm and vitality, got up to flush the toilet ... but it does not go away! O_O

Get desperate! In 90% of cases, cleaning the toilet is not at all difficult. To do this, we need a large rag, a stick more than a meter long (a mop will do) and a few more small rags. Small rags, you need to shut up all drain holes in the apartment: a bathtub (you can use a cork), a sink, a sink in the kitchen, etc. Do not miss a single one.

A large rag should be wetted and squeezed out. Wrap it on a stick in such a way that it does not go into the pipe under any circumstances. It must either be fixed with something, or held by the hand by the edge. The main thing - do not miss it in the bowels of a white friend! In general, it should turn out something like in the picture:

Now we lower our “torch” as shown in the figure at number 2, let the water down and sharply push the “torch” ... there! But abruptly - it's not with all the dope that the toilet bowl breaks. It is necessary to make a short, accurate and at the same time quick downward movement.

Pushed there. Stopped for a second. And just as sharply pulled out. Then again sharply push the "torch" into the toilet. Until the water comes down. After that, it is necessary to drain the water again and do everything again until the result is achieved. Keep in mind such a moment, if you have a drain left open somewhere or there are loose connections in the fan pipe, then this method of cleaning will not work. And at the same time, it is not necessary to push the “torch” into a push on a grand scale and with a run, because the poop will be on the walls.

If this clearing option did not work (but, as I said, 90% of this is enough to clear the congestion), then go to the “be” plan.

It is more time consuming and you will need a tool.

So let's start by removing the toilet. To do this, you need to find how it is attached and unscrew the fasteners:

When the toilet was removed, there was an impressive pile of shit in the vent pipe (just in case, bon appetit, although I did not dare to photograph it =) We extract everything ... superfluous from there:

Let's take a look at this series of pictures:

Missing rubber transition (Fig. 3) for cast-iron fanina, so the first cleaning method did not work. Knowing this, the "gum" was prepared in advance. Clean and wipe dry cast iron pipe in the place where the transition should be and paste it (Fig. 2)

Now we need to make a control descent. And, if the water drains well and does not flow at the joints, the meeting room is ready for work.

Afterword:

It happens that somehow floor rags, bags, bundles of condoms, etc. get into a large pipe. All this does not get stuck in the apartment and somehow passes down. But below, at the “dangerous turn” (the pipe from a vertical position goes into a horizontal one), this “rag” stops. And it can be understood, but there are no signs “dangerous turn” in the pipe, and there is nothing special to slow down. This is where the circus begins. The fun of the circus is directly proportional to the number of floors in the house. And the most fun will be the apartment closest to the congestion.

Everything that falls from the upper floors will accumulate in the pipe until it reaches the first apartment. And then through the toilet will flow to the floor ...

If the described situation is suddenly familiar to someone, you need to install check valve in fan pipe to avoid this in the future.

Not all today. Have a fruitful get-together!

The toilet is clogged, what should I do? Consider the main reasons why the toilet bowl may clog. The first and most common, at least in my practice, is dropping the roll toilet paper. The second reason that a refreshing hanging block falls is random reasons, because, just like that, a normal person will not throw them there on purpose, and there are many other reasons: they throw away cucumbers, tomatoes, rags, diapers ....., in general, consciously throw, but in many cases this passes, and only residents of the 1st floor suffer (if you live on the 1st floor, and because of careless neighbors you constantly suffer from a sewer bay, read the article on how you can protect yourself and your home from such residents, if you constantly )

What to do if the toilet is clogged

Do not listen to rewriters who write on websites that you first need to pour some acids into the toilet, you can immediately see what a person who has exactly 0 considerations in this writes, firstly, you can get burned, and secondly, the acid gradually corrodes the sewer risers and deck chairs in the basement, both plastic and cast iron, and for it to corrode a roll of paper, cucumbers ... and the like, you will go to the neighbors' toilet for a week.

For a clogged toilet, the first and most effective remedy is a plunger, I think you don’t need to learn how to use it, insert it into the outlet of the toilet (you need the water level to be higher than the plunger) and push it with sharp pushes. If the toilet is connected with corrugation, in principle, do not strain too much, if after several attempts nothing worked out, in 70 percent of cases everything will get stuck in the corrugation and will not go any further. So carefully remove the corrugation, and shake everything out of it, if the toilet connection goes into the socket, then in 90 percent of cases, the plunger will help break through the toilet clog (if the toilet is connected directly to the riser).

You can try to clean the toilet with an elastic cable, unless of course you have it available, which is unlikely (and the effect of it is only in some cases), in general, 90 out of a hundred that you clean yourself, well, but if the case is severe, then call a plumber.

Let's analyze another option, when the toilet is not directly connected to the sewer riser. The first thing to do is determine if the toilet is clogged or the sewer. If you drain water, for example, in the kitchen or in the bathroom, and the water level in the toilet bowl rises, then the toilet bowl has nothing to do with it, take a close look at the connections between the toilet bowl and the sewer, for sure the connections will leak.

Do not throw anything into the toilet, this is not a trash can, and then it will not clog!

In order to correctly understand the essence of the problem, one must imagine how the house and city sewerage is arranged and how it works. And from this it will be clear - what can clog, block or stop the sewer flow.

Sewerage is an extensive network of pipelines, laid inside or outside the building. Each house, each apartment is connected by a pipe to common system sewerage. This can be compared to big tree. Each leaf is an individual dwelling, an apartment. From the leaf-apartment there is a drain to a small branch, this small branch collects water from several apartments. Then a small branch is connected to a large branch. A large branch is connected to the trunk. Thus, hundreds and thousands of households are connected to sewer networks and the effluent goes to the treatment plant for treatment.

While the flow moves through these channels (pipes), it passes hundreds and thousands of meters, overcomes numerous turns, slopes, falls, where the flow velocity changes. Somewhere it slows down, somewhere it speeds up. And since sewage is a heterogeneous substance in itself, different substances have different physics of motion.

If a pure water passes quickly and smoothly. That water enriched with fats, organics, small debris tends to get stuck in the most inappropriate places. As a rule, on bends, in collector wells, etc.

Separate " headache"- the passage of wastewater through sewer pumping stations(KNS). Here the water enters a large well, where a powerful pump is installed, pumping the runoff further and raising the water to a certain height underground. Pumps are very often blocked by various kinds of debris and the movement of water stops - a real accident!

When we are talking about private households autonomous sewerage– drains can be delayed at large angles of turns of the route. Also in private households, with irregular drains and relatively small drainage, sewage can simply settle on pipes. After that, the pipes are safely overgrown with dirt, grease and other impurities.

To prevent or at least minimize the level of clogging and stagnation in sewer networks, you need nothing at all, namely:

• Observe the technology of laying sewer networks
• Do not dump waste not intended for sewerage into plumbing fixtures

And if the first paragraph concerns rather professional builders(although it happens that anyone lays the track, but not the builders), then the second one concerns everyone and everyone. By organizing a blockage in a private house with autonomous sewage, you create a problem for yourself. In case of blockage in the sewer apartment building You are creating a problem for many of your neighbors!

And before moving on to listing the bad things that are dumped into the sewer, I would like to convey to all residents with a central sewer:

When you dump something down the drain - nothing goes missing like in a black hole. AT best case decomposes. Most often, this is eliminated, including manually (!) At urban treatment plants.

Note!
If you dump large garbage or large food waste into the sewer, this is a direct threat to blocking the sewer of the entire house.

Common causes of blockages

The leaders of food waste are large products:

Chicken carcass, rabbit carcass, tangerines, oranges, etc. At once it would be desirable to address to housewives: Dear ladies! The sewer is not a garbage chute. There flows and must flow liquid! Let dirty, but liquid. This is not the place for cuts of meat, vegetables, food packaging!

The leaders of non-food waste are fabric materials:

Scarves, non-degradable napkins, shorts, T-shirts and even padded jackets (yes, there was a case). Perhaps, fabric materials are the biggest evil in the sewer. Do not flush diapers, an old hat or scarf down the toilet. Get stuck at 99.99%! Fabric materials easily cling to any bumps and sharp corners. It's very hard to get them!

Unfortunately, today the culture of using public property, communications, etc. is not yet so high among the population. Often, waste is not disposed of at home, but for example in hotels, airports and public toilets.

It is probably difficult to realize that patriotism and love for the motherland does not begin with watching TV programs about the president. And at least in order to be more reverent about the work of other people, to possible threat the life of others, neighbors, etc.

In February 2016, in Tyumen, a public initiative proposed distributing leaflets to residents of houses with the following content:

Perhaps you can take and print these flyers and hang them in your entryway. From this day on, there will be more than one patriot in our country.

Use sewerage correctly!
