In country houses, sewage breakdowns arise both due to improper operation and in connection with errors in designing and construction. In the latter case, blockages are formed regularly and significantly complicate the life of homeowners. The method of eliminating a blockage at home is chosen depending on its cause and complexity. The frozen water in the pipe can be tried to melt boiling water. Frozen fat in the pipes of domestic sewage is led by means of household chemicals. It is most safe to use those that, when entering water, form a foam, breaking blocks in the pipes and many types of deposits on the pipes ("Flup", "Mr. Muskul", etc.). Note that chemicals can harm and the pipes and microflora of sewage treatment facilities.
With small clouds, Vatuzes or special chemicals ("Mole", "Tyret", "Pothana") can easily be replaced, which can be replaced by a glass of food soda in the sewage system, and then pour a glass of vinegar and leave half an hour. However, if the pipes are very worn, refuse to use high-picked products. To combat clouds, it is more comfortable to use a plumbing cable. Prices for cables vary from 100 rubles. up to 20 thousand rubles. For home use, purchase a cable with a diameter of 10-12 mm and a length of no more than 20 m. Such cables will cost 1-2 thousand rubles. After cleaning the sewage sanitary cable, use the chemical agent suitable for your type of pipes. So you can get rid of bacteria and unpleasant odor.

The universal mechanical means of cleaning is the traditional plumbing cable, which is a long steel spring with a handle. We simply use it, but the procedure itself is very dirty. It is much more convenient to manual turntables with a pistol handle (Power Spin, Kwik-Spin, "Domocyst"). They have a cable with a believable head, which is wounded and unwound into a compact drum using an auto-production mechanism. They can be effectively and without dirt, clean all the internal sewers where the most often stems occur.

So that the sewage is working properly, it is recommended regularly (for example, once a year) to clean the inner surface of the pipes from mineral and organic pollution. Washing machines are used for this, and in domestic conditions - special nozzles for household high pressure fleels. Water jets under high pressure as a knife are cut off from the inner surface of the deposits of any origin, including fat, which are cleaned.

If the blockage arose in external sewerage, then for its elimination, it is possible that professional equipment will be required, for example, a worn drum or rod type machine. Buying such a tool for personal use is hardly advisable. Cheaper use the services of professionals.
