What is the toilet drain?

The toilet drain is a hole in the floor of your bathroom through which all waste water from the toilet is passed. The toilet bowl connects to the drain opening over a piece of metal or plastic called "Flange" or "Flange of the Cabinet". A few screws in the flange hold the toilet bowl safely in place above the drain. Clogged drain can be the result of too much waste that tries to leave the bowl at once, or it could be a problem deeper on the toilet drain pipe. The waste line on the toilet bowl of the curve up and forth before it ascends to the opening of the flange, keeps a small amount of water trapped in the bowl to prevent seepage of sewer gases from the sewer to your house. The tank on the back of the bowl is connected to the water supply of your home. The flushing of the tank sends water from the tank and to the bowl where the waste is operated by a bowl to the toilet outlet. The toilet drain pipe then crashes into the main sewer main sewer, pipes that carry all the waste water in your house in the city or communalease of waste system or in more rural places in septic tank.

Many people do not consider their toilet drain until one attempt to repair one, often using a piston to try to release clogging. Soap of a bowl and hot water added to the bowl can also release some seals that the Plunjr could solve. If this effort does not work, a person can put a snail cabinet - a basically long flexible metal tube with a small screw at the end and a handle on the other - into a bowl and feed it into the runoff. When turning the handle, move the snail several times and try to clean the clogging. The water level in the bowl should decrease noticeably when the clogging is cleaned.

If the snail method does not work, the problem is probably clogging further down the toilet opening that will require a more serious version of a snail called a plumbing snake. It is a cumbersome, electric version of the box of the cabinet. These snakes are larger than a snailY cabinets and at the end use a few claws to cut obstacles. Plumbing snakes are good for cleaning trees that can penetrate older pipes.

The plumber can look at the main plumbing line of the house in opening and say where the water flows, where the plumbing is likely to be a plug. Then in this direction snakes the main line. If everything else fails, the toilet drain can be "suffered" after the water is turned off into the tank and the toilet is discussed. The snake is then brought to the toilet drain and rotates with an electric motor to break all the seals.

A person trying to keep the toilet drain and without plugs should insert only soluble paper goods inside. While the ribbon napkins are more common, the plumbers advise that they do not have to decompose as fast as standard toilet paper and can lead to clogging, especially in older pipes. Female hygiene products can cause similar problems. Try not to use harmful CHemicals to treat clogging because these can damage the pipes.
