Sewerage system - an engineering network that is responsible for the discharge of effluents and sewage outside the house, buildings or structures. The paramount task of property owners is to periodically maintain sewer networks. Only in this way it is possible to achieve long-term operation of the sewer system, its uninterrupted and efficient operation.
Service Objectives
Effective sewage operation is based on the cleanliness of the pipes that make up the engineering network. Therefore, they must be cleaned periodically. And this is the main goal of the service. Many do not understand the importance of the processes, therefore, after a short period of operation, the sewage system ceases to work. Mud plugs form on one of the pipe sections that do not allow used water to pass through. Punching them is not easy, especially on their own. Therefore, you have to call the plumbing, for the work of which you have to pay.
To avoid this, it is necessary to take some not very complicated steps:
- Before washing dirty dishes, it is necessary to clean it of the remnants of food and oil.
- Every day, pour two or three liters of boiling water into the sink of the kitchen sink, after pouring a tablespoon of coarse salt or a teaspoon of baking soda into the drain hole.
- Once a week, pour a chemical household cleaning agent into the sink drain.
- Once every six months remove the siphon and clean it.
- In the drain of the bath, it is better to install a rare lattice that will not let hair through. The same thing needs to be done with the sink.
Neglect of maintenance of the sewage system inside the house or apartment is gradually moving into its repair. We have to call plumbing and punch mud plugs. Usually, the master applies a plumbing cable for this.
The sewer system of a private house consists of two sections: internal and external. The second circuit is pipes, usually made of PVC, laid to a certain depth at an angle of 2-3 °. Plus, a reservoir where sewage and sewage merge. The minimum diameter of the pipe used is 100 mm. This is enough for the efficient passage of sewage pollution from a small house, but traffic jams can also arise here. Therefore, it is important to carry out maintenance and repair of the sewage system in a timely manner.
Autonomous sewage service
The main task is to prevent force majeure situations from occurring in the communication network: breakouts, leaks, etc. It is recommended that once every 2-3 years, depending on the intensity of use, call special services that will carry out maintenance.
The wizards will first conduct an inspection (diagnosis). For this, in their arsenal there is special equipment that works on the basis of television technology. Inside the sewer, a cable is launched with a small camera at the end. The signal is sent to the monitor, where it is clearly visible in what condition the sewer system is.
Having identified the problem areas, as well as the degree of contamination, the craftsmen proceed to clean the pipe structure. To do this, they can use different ways.
- Mechanical. Use a plumbing cable, thicker than for cleaning the internal sewage. Tips in the form of a spiral, a brush or a spatula are mounted on its free end, depending on which mud plug needs to be punched. The disadvantage of this method is that the cable can break through the congestion, but they cannot clean the walls of sewer pipes.
- Hydrodynamic. A hose with a nozzle at the end is used. It is supplied with water under high pressure. The liquid not only breaks through mud congestion, but also cleans the inner surfaces of the pipes. This technology has many advantages: high quality, the time for punching traffic jams is minimal, no chemistry - only clean water, it can remove dirt and solid objects.
- Chemical. The method is based on foamed water to which chemicals are added. The first softens the dirt, the second corrodes. The prepared mixture using hoses is poured into the sewage system. Efficiency is high, but such a service is expensive.
In an autonomous sewer system, it is rarely necessary to apply hydrodynamic and chemical methods. Usually it is possible to clean the pipes with a cable.
Features of storm sewer service
Livnevka is a sewer network whose functions include the removal of rain and melt water from the roofs of buildings and structures, as well as from the territory of the site. It is also a gravity flow system, the main element of which is pipe wiring.
Problems with storm sewers are rare because its main function is to drain water. But over the years, sand and particles of soil accumulate in the pipes, which fall there together with the rains and melted snow.
There are two varieties of rainfall:
- Open type - ditches dug in the ground, or concrete, plastic or metal trays. They are covered with gravel or gravel or covered with bars. Maintenance of such a system boils down to periodically cleaning the trays of debris and sand.
- Closed type - pipe structure buried in the ground. It is not visible, so the service is quite difficult.
To clean the pipe storm system, call a specialist. Cleaning is carried out hydraulically, that is, water under high pressure. Manufacturers of household appliances offer equipment of small dimensions, with which you can independently carry out stormwater maintenance. The pump is connected to a water supply or an open reservoir, and on the other hand there is a long hose. The latter is inserted into the sewer, turn on the pump and push the hose into the system.
The whole process is carried out through inspection wells, which are installed on pipe distributions, their connections, on bends and every 50 m of linear sections. Since a closed storm shower network is laid shallow in the ground, the height of the inspection wells does not exceed half a meter. Therefore, a hose with a length of not more than 6 m enters the pump.
To avoid frequent stormwater maintenance, it is recommended to competently install it using all the protective elements: grilles installed in the design of the water intake funnels, sand traps and sumps. It is important to periodically clean these parts from debris and sand.
Instruction for maintenance and repair of sewage and water supply includes simple operations. The main task is to prevent a decrease in the efficiency of these systems. It is recommended that all work is carried out by specialists who have in their arsenal all the necessary equipment.
