One of the most common household problems is blocked pipes. They create an unsightly mess that can damage your floor, carpets, or tiles if not taken care of. You have many possibilities to unclog your pipe, in particular by using boiling water, also called hydro jet. This process involves sending pressurized water and detergent through the pipes to unclog them. Boiling water works great on the tub and sinks pipes, but its application is limited to other types of pipes. It is recommended that this method be used for clogged sinks rather than bathtubs, as bathtubs can rupture under pressure and cause serious injury. Always use protective goggles and gloves when handling hot water or pressurized water. Start by shutting off the main water supply to the house to prevent flooding in the event of a ruptured drain. Next, use tools that won't harden, like pliers or screwdrivers, so that they don't get stuck in the drain. Then, stand near the drain and pour enough boiling water into it until you reach the drain. That you feel it has passed its obstruction point. The water will turn to foam and fizz as it clears debris from the pipes. You may need to repeat this process a few times before. Once you are sure the drain is clear, turn on the water supply to allow discharge of the remaining pressurized hot water. The last important thing is after unblocking a pipe, it is imperative to clean up the mess and disinfect your tools with bleach or an antiseptic solution as soon as possible to avoid infection. Use protective clothing when handling hot water. Boiling water can cause injury if debris causes burns or backs up if there are obstructions in the pipes. By these guidelines, you can unclog your dirty stuck drain in few minutes.
