The drain is clogged with fat. A trick that plumbers are in no hurry to talk about
Sewer pipes are often clogged with grease. Residents of new buildings rarely encounter this. For old buildings, the problem is more urgent. Although you can avoid fatty blockages by performing just one simple action.
There are many reasons why a blockage may appear. If the sewer is assembled correctly, the most likely is the accumulation of fat on the walls of the pipes. Most often, thin pipes (32, 50 mm) are clogged in long sections or bends. How does fat go down the drain?
It seems that grease gets into the pipes during dishwashing and there is no getting away from it. But let's rememberas we wash our plates. We don't just rub them with a sponge under cold water. We always use a detergent that breaks down grease. This means that the problem of clogged pipes is not in the washing of dishes. Not really wash.
Hostesses, let's remember when the fat actually flows down the drain.
- The meat was boiled. Oily foam has collected on top. They took it off with a slotted spoon and poured it into the sink.
- We fried delicious cutlets. What to do with the remaining fat? Of course, pour it into the sink, and then wash the pan clean.
- We ate delicious sprats. Fat in the sink. Tin can in the trash.
There are many similar examples. You face them daily. But what is to be done?
The solution is very simple. Toilet paper or paper towels come to the rescue.
They pushed toilet paper into a tin can and sent it to the trash can. It will absorb the fat. They wiped the pan with a paper towel and sent it to the trash can too. Business for a minute, and the pipes become much cleaner.
Yes, I know there is a lot of chemistry now. Any "mole" copes with the blockage in a matter of minutes. But do you really believe that these tools are as harmless as the manufacturers write? Safe for pipes? Safe for human inhalation?
To pour fat down the drain and indulge in chemistry every six months?
Or send greasy wipes to the trash can and clean the pipes every five years?
