CLEARING THE MAIN DRAIN LINE

Te main line is the passageway for the waste that comes from the toilet and from all of the sink and tub traps. The line leads outside the house to the sanitary sewer or septic system. This text tells you how to clear a clog in that main line, which is also, called the sewer line. Makes sense, right? When the Clog is Beyond the Fixture Sometimes, the clogs are so far from the toilet or sink drain that you can’t reach it with a snake. If you’ve fed the snake through the toilet or sink drain to its full length and still haven’t reached the clog, your last resort before calling in the pros is to feed the snake through the main clean-out in the sewer line that leads out of your house.
Removing the clean-out plug The sewer clean-out is a fitting with a removable plug. It’s usually located at the base of the main soil pipe (a large diameter cast iron, copper, or plastic pipe) where it enters the floor of the basement or takes a 90 degree turn to pass through the foundation wall. The clean-out may also be located in the basement floor. To keep the waste inside the pipe, this fitting has a removable plug that’s screwed into the clean-out fitting. Plastic clean-out plugs usually come out easily, but removing a clean-out plug from a cast iron plumbing systems can be a challenge.

Opening Clogged Drains with Friendly Persuasion In order to remove the clean-out plug, gather up the following tools:

• Large pipe wrench
• Small can of penetrating oil, such as Liquid Wrench or WD-40
• Hammer
• Cold chisel (a thick, short hexagonal, steel bar tool)
• Bucket
• Pair of work gloves
• Goggles or safety glasses
• After you assemble your tools, follow these steps
• Locate the clean-out plug.
• Look for a round plug with a square lug on it
• With your work gloves on, try to open the clean-out plug with a pipe wrench.
• Place the wrench in the square tab located in the center of the clean-out plug and turn it in a counterclockwise direction.
• If using a pipe wrench doesn’t work, apply oil to the joint between the soil pipe and plug.
• Allow the oil to work its way into the joint for 10 or 15 minutes, and then give the pipe wrench another try. This usually loosens a brass plug.
• If the plug isn’t brass, it probably has rusted into place in order to get it open, you have to break it into pieces. This is a standard practice with plumbers, but may seem a bit extreme for you to tackle. If you’re not comfortable with this, call a professional plumber.

To break up the clean-out plug, follow these steps:

1. Purchase a new plastic plug so that you can close up the opening after you break up the old plug
2. Put your safety glasses on
3. Use a hammer and cold chisel to break the plug.

Place the point of the chisel on the outer edge of the clean-out plug and pound the chisel in a counterclockwise direction. This usually loosens the plug. If not, break off the square tab in the center, and then smash the plug into smaller parts with your hammer.

Keep in mind that water may be standing in the pipe, just waiting to come gushing out when you crack the plug. Use the bucket to catch any draining water.
