How to tackle the choked waste pipes problem

What comes to mind quickly when faced with clogged drainage in your bathroom? The simplest one is to use the good old plunger. What’s involved is very clear, cover the drainage with the plunger and push. But the last thing you want to do is be too aggressive and pulse to quickly. The most effective procedure to adopt is to cover the drainpipe completely with the bell-shaped head of the plunger and push down gently, then come up quickly and forcefully creating suction. In theory the suction created by pulling up quickly will dislodge the material that is clogging your bathtub, toilet or sink. You may notice small overspill openings in your bath or sink and you should always remember to block these up with a wet paper towel or sponge to create maximum suction.

You can also use chemical cleaners you can buy in the shops to unclog your drainage, these uses certain chemicals to open up the blockage in the drain pipe. But it would only be recommended to resort to using chemicals after you have tried fixing the problem with a drains pipes plunger. Leave the chemical for a few minutes so that it loosens the blockage, and then use hot water to rinse out the drain, taking care not to splash yourself. Just to be careful, you must put on clothes that you wouldn’t care about if they get spoiled by dirt or harmful chemicals. Eye protection is not a bad idea either if you plan on plunging again in case there is any residual back splash of chemical laden water. The chemical product comes with specific manufacturer’s directions; it is important to read and follow them carefully.

You can use a pipe wrench or pliers to unscrew the P-trap if you are unable to remove the clog with the plunger, this will give you access to the pipe. Keep a bucket and towel to deal with the mess that will follow. Chrome plated fittings can be protected from scratches by taping up the teeth of the pliers or wrench; that should also give you a firmer grip on the nuts of the trap. After you have removed the P-trap, clean it thoroughly to eradicate any solid material that may be blocking the pipe opening. If, however you cannot find any solid materials the problem is probably harder to get to, between the trap and the soil stack deep in the drains pipework.

A toilet auger can be used for unclogging the toilet. If on the other hand you are attempting to unclog your tub or sink you may need to use a drain pipe snake. Because of their size and length, drainage snakes are well designed for getting at obstructions in small spaces in difficult to reach places. A plumbers drain pipe snake has an adjustable handle which is used to make a drill into the clog, it then becomes easy to remove the obstruction by pulling it upwards. When you are sure that all the clogging material is cleared, replace the P-trap and test the drain with hot water. Make sure that everything is tight and sealed properly and test the P-trap for leaks.

If none of the steps you have taken work, it is time to bring in a professional plumber. There are some incidents that cannot be solved by the common householder such as clogs in the soil stack or the sewer service near tree roots or even a broken pipe caused by age or pipe corrosion brought upon by nature or some “mysterious reason”, at these times contact a good drains pipes engineer.
