Sewage works efficiently as long as the performance requirements are met. If they are violated, then there are problems that can not always be solved by yourself. Common causes of problems with sewerage are known to specialists who use various tools and devices for their elimination.
Before starting repair work, you need to determine the cause and choose the best way to eliminate it. To do this, use a metal cable, wire and chemicals that can disintegrate solid contaminants that get into the sewer.
Common causes
There are several reasons that can worsen the operation of the sewage system. The speed and accuracy of their establishment depends on the experience of specialists. The most common causes of problems are:
- clogging of sewer line;
- pipe crack;
- unpleasant odor;
- poor patency;
- flow.
Litter may occur if waste is discharged into the sewage system, which may impede its normal operation by its size. The situation is aggravated when, over time, such debris begins to accumulate the rest of the debris. As a result, all this begins to rot, causing an unpleasant smell in the sewer.
For this reason, it is not recommended to drop large objects and wash food. Compliance with this rule will reduce the possibility of clogging the pipe and causing problems with the operation of the system.
Problems can arise even because of years of fat accumulated on the walls of pipes. It is not advisable to pour liquid into the sewer system, which can lead to system failure. Repair can take a long time and will require financial costs.
Troubleshoot problems
The simplest way to clean the sewer is to use household chemicals that are designed for this purpose. Special fluids and compounds are able to corrode remnants of products and accumulated debris. In this case, when used at home, care must be taken for personal protective equipment.
If you can not clean the sewer pipes yourself, contact the plumbers for help or call the sewerage service. They have professional equipment and chemicals to solve the problem efficiently and quickly.
It is necessary to monitor the condition of pipes, seams, joints and insulation in the system. It is necessary to change pipes in a damaged area on time. We advise such work to be given to experienced plumbers.
