Why do sewer pipes get clogged?

Accumulation of fat and oil in the kitchen

Hair and lint in the bathroom

In the bathroom, hair is the main culprit. The accumulation of hair strands and their combination with soap and body fat creates hard masses that easily get stuck in the elbow of the pipes. In this case, removing the sewage blockage with normal methods becomes a bit difficult and the need for a spring tool will be felt.

Falling foreign objects

Sometimes a piece of soap, a shampoo lid, a children's toy, or even a paper towel can cause a blockage. These types of blockages usually occur suddenly, and in order to remove the sewage blockage in this situation, the foreign body must be removed.

Sediment and old clogging

In old buildings, the pipes (especially cast iron pipes) get deposits over time. These deposits reduce the inner diameter of the pipe and cause the water to drain slowly. The best way to remove sewage clogging in these cases is to scrape sediments with advanced devices in which the specialists of Amir Facilities are highly skilled.

Early signs of the need to clear the sewer blockage

We should not always wait for the water to rise completely. Pipes usually give us warnings before they become completely blocked:

1. Slow water draining: If the water in the sink or tub drains slowly, it is a warning sign of blockage.
2. Unpleasant smell: The smell of sewage in the kitchen or bathroom indicates that perishable materials are stuck in the pipe path. is.

If you see any of these symptoms, taking quick action to remove the sewer blockage can prevent heavy costs later on.

Home remedies for unclogging sewers (effective for minor blockages)

If the clog is superficial, you may be able to solve the problem with a few simple tricks. However, remember that frequent use of strong chemicals can damage the pipes.

Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar

This is a classic and low-risk way to remove sewer blockages. Pour half a cup of baking soda into the tube and then add half a cup of vinegar to it. The resulting chemical reaction causes foaming and boiling, which can dissolve fats. After 30 minutes, pour plenty of hot water.

Using a hand pump

The hand pump is a simple but effective tool to unclog sewage in the toilet and sink. By creating suction and air pressure, soft blockages can be moved to open the way.

Boiling water and detergent

For clogging caused by grease in the kitchen, pouring a kettle of boiling water mixed with dishwashing liquid can help soften the grease and unclog the drain.

Important note: If these methods do not work, do not under any circumstances apply excessive pressure or use very strong pipe-opening acids. This can cause holes in the pipes and water leakage to the lower floors. At this stage, contacting Amir Facilities for professional and guaranteed services is the best option.

Professional services for unclogging sewage with Amir facilities

When the home methods do not work or the blockage has occurred deep in the pipes, you need industrial equipment and expert personnel. Amir Facilities, with years of experience in the field of pipe unblocking and building facilities, is ready to provide sewage unclogging services with the highest quality and fair price.

Using an electric spring device (generator)

One of the most widely used and effective methods to remove sewage clogging is to use a generator and a steel spring. This device crushes and removes any hard clogs, tree roots, cloth, and sediments by rapidly rotating the spring inside the pipe. Amir facilities springs are available in different sizes to solve even the deepest clogs.

Air compression pump

In cases where the blockage is caused by sand or soft materials and the spring does not have the necessary efficiency, our experts use an air compression pump to remove the sewage blockage. By compressing the air and suddenly releasing it inside the pipe, this device gives a strong shock to the blockage and opens the way.

Tube endoscope camera

Sometimes the cause of blockage is not clear or a valuable object has fallen into the pipe. In this situation, Amir facilities uses special cameras to inspect the inside of the pipe to identify the exact location and cause of the problem and then implement the best method to remove the sewage blockage.

Why is the right price important in plumbing services?

Many people are concerned about the high costs of utility services. Unfortunately, some profit-seeking people deceive customers by announcing low prices at the beginning and then shaving unnecessary side costs. But in Amir facilities, financial transparency is our first principle.

Sewage blockage removal at a reasonable price does not mean using poor quality tools or hasty work; Rather, it means eliminating middlemen, proper time management and providing a union rate sheet. We believe that every citizen has the right to receive quality and cheap services.

Factors affecting the price of sewage blockage removal

1. Type of clog: Toilet clogs are different from kitchen sink clogs and require different tools.
2. Spring size: The deeper the clog, the longer the spring and the stronger the device.
3. Requires carving: In very rare cases, if the pipe is broken, construction repairs are required, which has a separate cost.

However, the experts of Amir Facilities will provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost before starting the work, so that you can place your order with ease.

The dangers of using pipe-opening acids

You may be tempted to use strong acid solutions available in the market to save money on unclogging the drain. You should know that these acids are highly corrosive. They destroy the adhesive of the joints of the plastic pipes and cause the corrosion of the metal pipes. The cost of repairing punctured pipes is much higher than the cost of a simple pipe unclogging by an expert. In addition, the toxic vapors of these acids are very dangerous for the lungs and skin.
