Every once in a life with such a problem everyone faced. The water descends, but does not escape through the pipes, and as a result - a full toilet bowl of water. And of course, this happens just when there is not a drop of chemistry at hand, or the plunger has been immured under a pile of rubbish on the balcony. But even if all the necessary means are at hand, the water fills the toilet again and again. How to eliminate the clog in the toilet and do everything competently, we will consider below.
What should I do if there is clog in the toilet?
First and foremost - do not panic. And now let's go ahead a little and note that the blockage in the toilet itself is by far not the most common option. Here you poured a whole bottle of chemistry or used any other means (they are described in more detail below), but the water does not go away. The fact is that often the problem is somewhat higher, or rather in the riser itself. Before clearing the blockage in the toilet, it's not superfluous to visit your neighbors from above. If they notice this "ailment" and at the toilet, it is necessary to clean a riser. So we move higher and find neighbors who are all right. Next, we call the workers of the housing office. If the problem is on the first floor, and above everything is in order, then it is again not in the toilet itself, but in the lounger in the basement. Again, this is a task for the workers of the valiant housing office.
How to eliminate the blockage in the toilet?
Suppose, in your case, everything is much more optimistic and the problem is really in the toilet itself. Then you will be able to solve it on your own. Below we will consider a kind of rating of the most popular and effective methods of cleaning the clog.
- The most famous method is to work with a plunger. No matter how much industry does not invent gels and powders, and the plunger can be found in the pantry of almost any person in the post-Soviet expanses. And to tell you the truth, this is indeed a good method of dealing with minor clogs. We draw water into the toilet and insert the plunger into it, and then with all the familiar movements we shake and thus loosen the blockage.
- There is also a more reliable means against the litter of the toilet bowl, if the cause is already in the very water seal. It's simple: we fill a small bag of cloth with sand. Further we lower it on a long rope in a toilet bowl and wash off water. The flow will definitely grab this "doll" and carry it with you, and then the sand will break through and you will be able to pull the bag back with a rope.
- Cleaning the toilet from a blockage with a plastic bottle is one of the products of folk savvy. In fact, you make homemade vantuz. Your task is to cut off the bottom of a two-liter bottle and tighten the lid as much as possible. Next, insert the bottle into the toilet bowl bottom down. As soon as resistance is felt, press sharply on the bottle. You use the same hydraulic shock as when working with a plunger.
- You can try the so-called flexible cable. What it is: a piece of thick wire in the form of a spiral is fixed on the end of a flexible hollow tube. It is necessary to lower this spiral into the toilet bowl until it stops and start the rotational movements with the handle, as the fishermen on the winter fishing make a hole. The only thing to consider - sometimes the spiral just makes a hole in a dense blockage. It is advisable immediately after that to puncture the remnants of hot water or add chemicals to it.
- The remedy for the litter of the toilet bowl in the form of liquids and powders is the simplest solution to solve the problem today. As a rule, all manufacturers offer chemistry for plastic pipes and it works quite efficiently. Your task is simply to pour the remedy and after a while wash off the water.
- The cheapest way to clear the litter in the toilet is known to all our moms and is to use soda. Approximately polpachki poured directly into the toilet and thereby creates a very concentrated alkaline environment. But this method is suitable for minor blockages.
