So your meeting has come to an end, your head has cleared up, your body has felt better and you, full of enthusiasm and vital energy, got up to flush the toilet... but it doesn’t go away! O_O
Wait to despair! In 90% of cases, cleaning the toilet is not at all difficult. For this we need a large rag, a long stick more than a meter(a mop will do) and a few more small rags. Small rags, you need to shut it up All drain holes in the apartment: bathtub (can be plugged), sink, kitchen sink, etc. Don’t miss a single one.
A large rag should be wetted and wrung out. Wrap it around a stick in such a way that it does not go down the pipe under any circumstances. It must either be secured with something or held by the edge with your hand. The main thing is not to let her fall into the depths of your white friend! In general, it should look something like the picture:
Now we lower our “torch” as shown in figure number 2, drain the water and sharply push the “torch”... there! But abruptly - it’s not so crazy that the toilet breaks. You need to make a short, neat and at the same time quick downward movement.
They pushed me there. We paused for a second. And just as sharply they pulled it out. Then sharply push the “torch” into the toilet again. Do this until the water recedes. After this, you need to drain the water again and do everything again until the result is achieved. Keep this point in mind, if you have an open drain somewhere or there are loose connections in the drain pipe, then this cleaning method will not work. And at the same time, there is no need to push the “torch” into the push with a full swing and running, because the poop will be on the walls.
If this clearing option does not work (but, as I said, in 90% of cases this is enough to clear the blockage), then we move on to the “be” plan.
It is more labor intensive and you will need a tool.
So, first, let's remove the toilet. To do this, you need to find how it is attached and unscrew the fasteners: 
When the toilet was removed, there was an impressive pile of crap in the drain pipe (just in case, bon appetit, although I didn’t dare take a photo of it =) Let’s extract everything... unnecessary from there:
Let's look at this sequence of pictures:
There was no rubber transition (Fig. 3) for cast iron fanin, which is why the first cleaning method did not work. Knowing this, the “elastic band” was prepared in advance. Clean and wipe dry cast iron pipe in the place where the transition should be and insert it (Fig. 2)
Now we need to make a control descent. And, if the water flows well and does not leak at the joints, the meeting room is ready for work.
Afterword:
It happens that somehow floor rags, bags, bundles of condoms, etc. get into the large pipe. All this does not get stuck in the apartment and somehow passes down. But below, at the “dangerous turn” (the pipe goes from a vertical position to a horizontal one), this “rag” stops. And she can be understood, there are no “dangerous turn” signs in the pipe and there is nothing special to slow down. This is where the circus begins. The fun of the circus is directly proportional to the number of floors in the house. And the apartment closest to the traffic jam will have the most fun.
Everything that falls from the upper floors will accumulate in the pipe until it reaches the first apartment. And then it will flow through the toilet onto the floor...
If the described situation suddenly sounds familiar to someone, you need to establish check valve V fan pipe to avoid this in the future.
Not all today. Have fruitful gatherings!
To correctly understand the essence of the problem, you need to understand how the intra-house and city sewage system is structured and works. And from this it will be clear -
what can clog, block or stop the sewer flow. The sewerage system is an extensive network of pipelines laid inside or outside the building. Every house, every apartment is connected by a pipe to common system sewerage. This can be compared to big tree . Each leaf is an individual home, an apartment. From the apartment leaf there is a drain to a small branch, this small branch collects water from several apartments. Then the small branch is connected to the large branch. And the large branch is connected to the trunk. Thus,
hundreds and thousands of households are connected to sewer networks and the wastewater comes to the treatment plant for treatment. While the flow moves through these channels (pipes), it travels hundreds and thousands of meters, overcomes numerous turns, slopes, drops, where the flow speed changes.
Somewhere it slows down, somewhere it speeds up. And since sewage is a heterogeneous substance in itself, then various substances passes quite quickly and unhindered. Water enriched with fats, organic matter, and small debris tends to get stuck in the most inappropriate places. As a rule, at turns, in collector wells, etc.
Separate" headache" - passage of wastewater through sewer pumping stations(KNS). Here the water flows into a large well, where a powerful pump is installed, pumping the drain further and raising the water to a certain height underground. Pumps are often blocked by various types of debris and the flow of water stops - a real accident!
When we're talking about about private households with autonomous sewerage– runoff can be retained at large turning angles of the route. Also in private households, with irregular drains and relatively little drainage, sewage can simply settle on the pipes. After this, the pipes are safely overgrown with dirt, grease and other impurities.
And if the first point concerns rather professional builders(although it happens that anyone but the builders lay the route), then the second one concerns everyone. By organizing a blockage in a private house with an autonomous sewer system, you are creating a problem for yourself. If the sewer is clogged
apartment building
– you are creating a problem for many of your neighbors! And before moving on to listing the bad things that are dumped into the sewer system, I would like to convey to all residents with a central sewer system: When you dump something down the drain - nothing is missing there like in a black hole. At best it decomposes.
Most often this is eliminated, including
manually
If you throw large garbage or large food waste down the drain, this is a direct threat to blocking the sewer system of the entire house.
Scarves, non-degradable napkins, underpants, T-shirts and even padded jackets (yes, there was a case). Perhaps fabric materials are the biggest evil in the sewer system. Do not flush diapers, old hats or scarves down the toilet. 99.99% stuck! Fabric materials easily cling to any unevenness and sharp corners. It's very difficult to get them!
Unfortunately, today the population does not yet have such a high culture of using public property, communications, etc.
Often waste is not disposed of at home, but for example in hotels, airports and public toilets.
It is probably difficult to realize that patriotism and love for the homeland does not begin with watching TV programs about the president. And at least in order to be more sensitive to the work of other people, to a possible threat to the livelihoods of others, neighbors, etc.
In Tyumen in February 2016, a public initiative proposed distributing leaflets with the following content to residents of houses:
Perhaps you will take and print these leaflets and hang them in your entrance. From this day on, there will be one more patriot in our country.
Use the sewer correctly! The toilet is clogged, what should I do? Let's look at the main reasons why a toilet may become clogged. The first and most common, at least in my practice, is to drop the roll toilet paper
. The second reason the refreshing hanging block falls is random reasons, since a normal person just won’t throw them there on purpose, and there are many other reasons: cucumbers, tomatoes, rags, diapers are thrown away....., in general they are deliberately thrown, but in many cases this goes away, and only the residents of the 1st floor suffer (if you live on the 1st floor, and because of careless neighbors you constantly suffer from sewer flooding, read the article on how you can protect yourself and your home from such residents, if you constantly )
What to do if the toilet is clogged
Don’t listen to rewriters who write on websites that you first need to pour some acids into the toilet, you can immediately see that this is written by a person who has exactly zero ideas about this, firstly, you can get burned, and secondly, the acid gradually corrodes the sewer risers and sun loungers in the basement, both plastic and cast iron, and for it to corrode a roll of paper, cucumbers... and the like, you will have to go to the neighbors’ toilet for a week. For a clogged toilet, the first and foremost- this is a plunger, I think you don’t need to learn how to use it, insert it into the outlet of the toilet (the water level must be above the plunger) and push it with sharp pushes. If the toilet is connected by corrugation, 
in principle, don’t strain too much, if after several attempts nothing works, in 70 percent of cases everything will get stuck in the corrugation and will not go further. So carefully remove the corrugation and shake everything out of it. If the toilet connection goes into the socket, then in 90 percent of cases, a plunger will help break through the blockage of the toilet (if the toilet is connected directly to the riser).
You can try to clean the toilet with an elastic cable, if of course you have one, which is unlikely (and its effect is only in individual cases), in general, 90 out of a hundred that you can clean yourself, well, if the case is severe, then call a plumber.
Let's look at another option, when the toilet is connected to sewer riser not directly. The first thing you need to do is determine whether the toilet is clogged or the drain is clogged. If you are draining water, for example in the kitchen or bathroom, and the water level in the toilet rises, then the toilet has nothing to do with it, also look carefully at the connections of the toilet to the sewer; the connections will probably leak.
Don’t throw anything into the toilet, it’s not a trash can, and then it won’t clog!
