Accumulation of debris clogs the pipes
Accumulation of residue clogs the pipes and often the culprit is the excessive waste of detergents, but also food and other things that, in the long run, get trapped in the household pipes. Too much water in the drain can also cause bad smells in the pipes, but in most cases, the waste that accumulates in the sink is to blame.
Their decomposition is the cause of the bad smells that can invade the room. In this case, it will be necessary to open the drain and carry out a thorough cleaning. However, the fault of the wrongdoers can also be the type of drain present in the pipes and it can happen that the cause is even the lack of water.
This is the case of homes where the water has been cut off for a long time. Even a sink, toilet or washbasin that is rarely used can be the cause of these inconveniences. In this case, you just need to reuse these pipes and everything is sorted.
In other cases, it is possible to unclog without using industrial products, often full of harmful chemicals. A simple solution to prepare will allow you to carry out a deep unclogging and get rid of bad odors.
