Solved the problem with blockage in the pipes once and for all. It only takes 5 minutes, I manage without expensive gels and plumbing
Clogged pipes are always a big problem. Water stagnates, it is impossible to use the sink, plus there is an unpleasant smell. At the same time, gels and means for removing blockages are not so cheap as to use them often. I don't even want to call a plumber. Therefore, I recommend you a very simple and inexpensive way to clean your pipes. We have been using it for a long time and successfully, which we recommend to you.
What do we need
In order to eliminate the blockage, we need:
- soda ash - 6 tbsp. l. with a top (70-80 grams);
- table salt - 2 tbsp. l. (50 grams);
- table vinegar 9% - 0.5 liters;
- boiling water - 1.5-2 liters (approximately a whole kettle).
You can also use regular baking soda, but its reaction will be a little slower. It is calcined that has a stronger alkaline reaction.
How to use a folk remedy
Mix baking soda and salt until smooth. We fall asleep in the pipe, with an ordinary metal spoon. If the hole is wet with water and the powder sticks together, you can help it by pushing it in with a wooden skewer or Q-tip. Completely pour the entire mass into the pipe.
Slowly pour in the vinegar. The vinegar will immediately react with the powder. Let it finish, add more vinegar. The slower this is done, the more effective the result will be.
You will even hear, even after the vinegar disappears from above, how a violent reaction takes place inside the pipe. Yes, and outwardly it will be visible immediately - a hissing agent will quickly free your sink from stagnant water. Close the hole with a cap or stopper. You can even use a sponge, an old cloth or rags.
Wait 5-10 minutes and listen to see if the hiss continues in the pipe. If the blockage is serious, it is better to leave our remedy for at least half an hour. In principle, it will not be worse from this even with a small blockage.
Open the cork and pour in boiling water - about 1.5-2 liters. And your problem should be solved.
Blockage Prevention
In order to prevent this situation from happening again, turn on very hot water at least once a week and let it flow without stopping for 5-10 minutes. Or also, pour boiling water from the kettle.
Well, this method is still good because after it your pipe will not only be cleaned of blockage, but also remove excess rust. Be sure to use this folk remedy and you will forget why you need to buy expensive pipe cleaners.
