The domestic waste water we have used in our home will be discharged through the sewer. If foreign matter enters the sewer, and the foreign matter cannot decompose by itself or melts in water, it is easy to get stuck in the sewer, so that the water and foreign matter that come in later become more and more serious. If it is too much, if it cannot be flushed down smoothly, it will cause the sewer to be blocked. If the blockage is not very severe, we can try the tips by ourselves. The common methods are white vinegar and baking soda.
Does white vinegar have a dredging effect on the sewer?
A combination of white vinegar and baking soda can unclog clogged drains. Baking soda is alkaline and vinegar is acidic. When the two are put together, a chemical reaction will occur to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, that is, a large number of air bubbles, which will increase the air pressure in the sewer, thereby dredging the sewer. Baking soda solid begins to decompose gradually above 50°C, producing sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water, and decomposes completely at 440°C. Sodium bicarbonate is a salt formed by the neutralization of a strong base and a weak acid, and when dissolved in water, it behaves as a weak base.
White Vinegar and Baking Soda How to Unclog Your Drain
Use white vinegar to clear clogged kitchen drains. You can pour table salt and baking soda into the sink, add white vinegar to mix and dilute until white bubbles appear, rinse them down the drain, boil a pot of hot water, let it cool down and pour it down the drain. 15 minutes to clear it.
If you don’t have white vinegar at home, you can use a plumbing tool for the treatment. Insert the spring end of the pipe cleaner into the drain as far as it will go, then turn the handle on the head to hook the spring and blockage together, then pull the spring out to clear the blockage.
Tips for unclogging the sewer
1. Pour 1 cup of cleaner into the clogged drain, then pour 3 cups of hot water. If that still doesn’t clear the drain, pour in another cup of vinegar.
2. Remove the water accumulated in the sink or sanitary ware, and pour 50 to 100 grams of drain agent into the sewer. If there is no water in the drain, add half a cup of water. At this time, the pipe is boiling. Rinse with plenty of water after about 20 minutes.
3. If the sewer is blocked by oil, you can mix 20% baking soda and water to clear the sewer.
4. If you have a plastic soft straw in your home, you can also use it as a tool to dredge the water pipe. Just use scissors to cut some small holes on the sides of the straw wall to make a soft hook. Insert it down the drain and poke it back and forth a few times to bring out a lot of hair and debris.
Why is the sewer always blocked
Sewers usually don’t get clogged very often. It will be abnormal if it blocks frequently. There are four reasons. One: The pipe is small and has many elbows; Two: Chopsticks, plastics, etc. fall into the pipe; cement or construction slag; Four: The pipe is used for a long time, and the oil on the inner edge of the pipe is often blocked.
Note that leftover vegetable soup cannot be poured directly into the kitchen drain. Fatty kitchen waste condenses into solid fat as it cools down the drain. Condensed grease can often stick to other junk, causing serious clogs.
