Housewives who often cook may know that the frequent washing of vegetables, vegetable leaves, or oil in the kitchen can easily cause the blockage of the water pipes, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to our lives. What should we do if the kitchen pipes are blocked? ? Many people may ask, we all know that if the kitchen water pipe is blocked, the cause must be found out, and then dredge according to the situation. The following editor will introduce to you how to unclog a blocked kitchen water pipe!

simple kitchen plumbing dredging

Why this method is only for the kitchen, because most of the dirt in the kitchen sewers is oil or rice and vegetable leaves. Add vinegar with hot water. First, use high temperature to scald the oil, and secondly, vinegar is acidic, so It can also play a certain role in cleaning. Third, it is relatively safe. Hot water and vinegar will never hurt the water pipes in the home, nor will it produce harmful gases. Because most of the kitchen is full of greasy dirt, I will teach you a method that I created by myself. It is easier to use if I use it myself. The method is very simple. First, boil a pot of water. After the water is boiled, pour some water into the pot. After the water boils, pour it directly down the water outlet and let the water soak for a while to see if the dirt can go down? If it still can't go down, then it depends on the sewer of your home What is it like? Some sewer pipes are section by section. You can unscrew it and clean up the debris inside.

Unclogging according to the type of drain pipe in your kitchen

Washing pots and basins in the kitchen every day can easily accumulate oil stains on the inner walls of the sewer pipes. After a long time, the water flow is not smooth or even blocked. The method of unblocking the sewer is as follows:

Generally, the places where the kitchen drain pipes are blocked are mostly U-shaped bends. If it is a drain pipe with a sewage screw, it is easy to handle and unscrew it directly. However, it is best to put a sewage basin under it before treatment. so as not to stain the cabinets. After unscrewing, use steel wire to pass through both sides, which can usually be solved quickly.

If it has not been solved, you can remove all the sewer pipes, unscrew all the plastic connections, rinse them clean, remove the impurities inside, and then assemble them in sequence, which will be done in less than half an hour. However, I also remind friends who are planning to buy a sink. I chose a sink in the front, and running water is the key. I said in it that you must pay attention to the sewer pipe to avoid big trouble in the future.

So what should I do if the sewer pipe without the sewage screw is blocked? Some people say that the hard iron wire is used to pass through it. In fact, this is not right. This will not only solve the problem, but also make it stronger. If it is a vertical sewer pipe, we can bend the front of the wire into a small hook, then remove the sewer, and use the wire to hook out the impurities. If it has not been solved, first enlarge half a basin of water in the sink, then roll a rag into a ball, press the rag against the water outlet of the sink with both hands in the water, and press it up and down like artificial respiration. Generally, small problems can be solved, of course. It can also be solved with a peeler.

If the blockage is relatively strong, then we can dredge it with a hand-cranked pipe dredge. The method of use is to first turn the anti-rotation screw counterclockwise, then pull out the spring and put it into the sewer pipe until it reaches the obstacle, then pull out the spring about 10 cm, tighten the anti-rotation screw, install the handle, and apply When the pressure is fully in, loosen the stop screw and pull out the 10 cm spring... In this way, repeat the movement until you feel it is easy to turn the handle, indicating that the obstruction has been passed, and then slowly pull up, so that the problem can be solved solved. This can usually be done when the sink pipes or toilet pipes are blocked.

Warm reminder, when we usually wash dishes and chopsticks, we can put larger things into the trash can first to avoid blocking the kitchen drain, which is not only clean and hygienic, but also avoids a lot of trouble. Clean up the kitchen!

Ways to unclog water pipes

Use the water pressure dredging method

Take a water pipe with a diameter a little smaller than that of the sewer, put one end tightly on the faucet, and insert the other end into the blockage of the pool, wrap the rubber tube with a cloth, and plug the drain of the pool (but I omitted this for the editor). In the link, let the dirt come back up, maybe it will pass), turn on the faucet and turn it to the maximum, the water pressure is enough to flush the blockage away. I have tried it and it works fine. Of course, there's nothing you can do if you fall into something larger and block it. I wish you success!

Soda and vinegar dredging method

Pour half a cup of cooked baking soda down the drain, then half a cup of vinegar, the soda reacts with the acid in the vinegar to remove the sticky stuff in the pipes.

Log dredging method

First, insert a log with a diameter close to the drain port into the water pipe, put a certain amount of water in the pool, and move the log up and down quickly without interruption. Under the action of suction and pressure, the dirt in the pipe will be removed. was washed away.

Pump dredging method

When the kitchen sewer is blocked, plug the hose of the pump into the sewer, add a small amount of clean water, and keep pumping in, and the pipe can be unclogged.

Some tips for water pipes that don't work

1. Add some irritating things such as washing powder or salt, then cover the lid, and the sewer pipe will be open in an instant!

2. The green way to unclog the sewer: Pour 1 cup of washing powder into the blocked sewer, and then pour 3 cups of hot water. If that doesn't clear the drain, pour another cup of vinegar into it.

3. Simple, spend 5-10 yuan to buy a pipe that is about 2 meters long (manual pipe dredging wire) through the sewer. If there is a handle, you can shake it (I have seen it on the street stall, and the hardware store also has it). My house was blocked too. The hair was blocked a lot. When I pulled it out, I thought it was a stocking.

4. There are "pipeline" (liquid, bottled) products sold in supermarkets, which are specially designed to clean up such blockages. Pour the appropriate amount according to the degree of blockage, and a bottle can be done for 20 yuan.

5. If it is oil pollution, it is recommended to use boiling water to pass through it. Cement is blocked: 70% hydrochloric acid cannot be found, and 35% is sold everywhere. You can try it. A small amount of flour is added in it to act as a corrosion inhibitor, and urotropine is the best. Can reduce corrosion to steel.
