Defrosting the sewage system

Since winter has been characterized by especially low temperatures, local natural disasters very often occur. No longer the surprise is that sewer systems freeze not only outside the house, but also inside. That is why you need to have an understanding of ways to solve this problem. First of all, they approach the determination of the scale of the incident. In some cases, it occurs in the pipe could elementarily freeze the waste, as a result of which it is necessary to determine the location and the cause of the problem. If the situation is such that the pipe has frozen inside the house, then the use of boiling water, the filling of which is produced directly into the sewer, will be a solution. When the problem area is outside the house, this solution, of course, is not effective.

If the sewage system of a country house froze outside the building, then it is likely to tear the ground under the pipe itself, which is done for maximum approximation to the pipe. It may be necessary to dismantle thermal insulation, which will help in warming up. If there is an opportunity, you can resort to a soldering lamp or a similar warming equipment in order to warm up the affected area as quickly as possible.

A sufficiently effective solution to such a problem is a heating cable that promotes the maximum efficiency of the warming process. The principle of the heating of the heating cable lies in the fact that, first of all, they wrap the problem area of ​​the pipe with a foil, on top of which they lay a heating cable, wrapping it on the pipe. As a result, there is a uniform distribution of heat flow along the entire freezing area. It is important to note that the role of foil here is to ensure the heat -saving effect.
