Toilet clogged and sewage won't stop running: The repairman taught me to poke this hole to save a bundle on repair costs
When it comes to the hardest thing to choose when renovating the bathroom at home, it has to be the toilet, right? The toilet is something we need to use every day in our daily lives, so whether its quality is good or bad directly affects the quality of our lives. But sometimes, no matter how good the toilet is, it still can't avoid the embarrassment of getting clogged.
A clogged toilet is a very annoying and disgusting thing. Because once the toilet is clogged, sewage will appear, and not only is the scene "very lovely," but at this time almost the entire bathroom will be filled with the foul smell of sewage, and you simply won't know where to start. Once you call a toilet repairman over, a few hundred yuan is gone just like that, which really hurts. Actually, next time your toilet gets clogged again, poking this hole can solve it.
At first, Huahua didn't know that toilets actually have an air return hole either. Many times when our home toilet gets clogged, it's because the air return hole is blocked. The toilet at home is generally a gathering place for sewage. When we pour sewage into the toilet, it will definitely contain some garbage, and over time, this garbage will block the toilet's air return hole. This will cause the toilet's flushing power to drop greatly, and clogging becomes a common occurrence.
Generally, the air return hole of a household toilet is located at the bottom of the drain outlet. It is a small hole with a diameter of about two cm. You can try to find it. Once you find it, you can regularly clean the toilet's air return hole, which can reduce the chance of toilet clogs. In addition, if the toilet is clogged, poking this small hole can also instantly flush away the blockage. It's super convenient, and there is no need for a repairman to come to your home at all.
At this point, many friends will definitely want to ask, so how do you clean the toilet's air return hole? When cleaning the toilet's air return hole at home, we can use some small tools. There are currently two main types of cleaning tools on the market: one is a plunger, and the other is a relatively hard tube. Now Huahua will explain the specific method of operation to everyone.
1. When using a plunger to clean, we can poke it hard several times toward the toilet's drain outlet. In this way, the suction of the plunger itself can clean the garbage inside the air return hole. It's convenient and efficient.
2. Cleaning with a tube is more troublesome, but the cleaning effect is also quite ideal. We locate the toilet's air return hole, then insert the tube into it, and then flush, until the water flow washes through without any problem, which means it has been cleaned thoroughly.
Locating the air return hole to solve the toilet clogging problem can be said to be simple and efficient. Next time the toilet runs into this situation again, you don't need to call a repairman. You can handle it yourself and save yourself a lot of trouble! If you have any better ways to solve toilet clogs, you can also leave a comment to tell Huahua!
