Irritation time – choked sewers

At the end of a tough day’s work, you get into the shower and enjoy the buzz of hot water on your face and then,suddenly your feet seem to go under water too – Oh no, the drain pipe is blocked once again!. A plugged drainpipe, quite disgusting and a sign of problems to come!. Or while brushing your teeth by the sink, all of a sudden the sink starts to fill up. Everyone hates clogged up drains because they not only create problems but are also unhygienic and can create a mess. But the fact is that sooner or later, a bathroom drain pipe is going to become clogged up or suffer a stoppage. So you should know how to unblock them, well in advance.

Why Do They Happen?.

Blocked drainage can result from trapped solid objects such as hair, dust and particles between your bathroom drain pipe and the attached pipes. The condition gets worse when products like conditioners, shampoos and detergents accumulate in the already plugged drainage. Finally the accumulation becomes too thick to allow any water to pass through and it is then that the drainage get completely obstructed. If your sink or tub fills up fast with water while it should have drained out quickly, you could be in for a serious case of clogged up pipes.

How to unclog Your drains.

You can do a number of things to unclog your bathtub or bathroom sink drain pipe. The first step is to remove the plug whether the blocked drainpipe is in a sink or bathtub. You can easily remove the stopper by pulling it off from the bathroom sink, however if it’s fixed under the sink then you need to unscrew the nuts. With your bath tub, you can either unscrew the stopper right at the drainpipe or removing the overflow plate to remove the assembly.

The removal of the plug may allow you to spot the cause for the blockage. Those greasy lumps of entangled hair and residue can be seen sticking to the sides and corners of the drain pipe. Clear out as much of the stoppage as possible. If the debris is further down than your hand can reach, push in a bent wire or coat hanger and coax the clumps out. There is a good chance that by removing this mass of material the problem will be rectified and your water will flow smoothly.

However, there is a chance that you will not be able to reach the blockage with the wire so you will have to try something else. Use a drainpipe plunger to loosen the blockage that is deeper down the pipework. In the first step, use a wet cloth to cover the overflowing drain, and then use the plunger; this will make the suction stronger. Then put the plunger over the drainpipe mouth and press it up and down repeatedly. When you let go of the plunger, any excess water should flow out right away if you have dislodged the blockage.

Even the plunger may not clear the most dense and hardened matter inside your plumbing system – that’s when you will have to deploy a chemical drain pipe clearing product. The chemicals have the potential to harm your bathroom fixtures, and they are dangerous too; for this reason, they should be used only when all the above methods fail to unclog your drain.

If all else fails, get a professional drainage service in.

After taking all the steps that you can carry out yourself, if the blockage still remains, it will be wise to call your neighborhood plumber or drainage services company for some assistance. Alternatively experienced drainage contractors like Dynorod have all the necessary equipment required to unblock the drains and inspect the interior with a CCTV inspection or drainage camera. Although availing plumber services can be a high-priced proposition it gives you the much needed peace of mind as the water starts running and the mess is cleaned up.
