Clogging is a common process in sewer systems. The most effective drug, many call the tool for cleaning pipes Mole, the composition of which was invented in the nineteenth century. Therefore, it is believed that this tool has been tested by more than one generation.
Mole is available in the form of a liquid, gel, powder and granules

Why clogging occurs
Clogs in sewer systems most often occur in elbows, siphons, bends, on pipe seals, in places where waste can accumulate. The causes of such blockages are organic fiber (hair, animal hair, fish scales), vegetable and animal fats. Most difficult clean sewer pipes from animal fats and salts of fatty acids. How clogging occurs: food waste layers are formed in the pipe, collagen fibers are attached to them, which serve as a frame for fats. Pipe cleaning involves the breakdown of these substances through a chemical reaction.
Important! The mole pipe cleaner is a strong alkaline preparation, therefore it is extremely important to observe safety precautions!
Before using the drug, you must completely drain the water
The composition of the pipe cleaner Mole
The mole cleaning agent is a mixture of chemically active components. Mole is the basis for cleaning sewer pipes. Caustic soda (sodium hydrochloride) is used. The composition is used to remove blockages in both steel and plastic pipes. Component components:
- potassium hydroxide - 5-10 parts;
- sodium hydroxide - 40-60 parts;
- ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - 5-10 parts;
- surfactants 10 parts;
- distilled water - 5-25 parts.
Mole - a remedy for blockage, depending on the proportions of the reagents, they release the usual one, for prevention and for severe blockages. The drug is in the form of granules, gel and solution.
Clogs in the sink do a good job of preventing blockages.
How to eliminate blockage with the use of the drug Mole
So, a clogged sewer pipe. One of the most effective ways is to use cleaning products for the Mole pipes. To clean a clogged drain, you need to accurately follow the instructions for use. The technology for the forms of release - gel, solution and granules is the same:
- firstly, you need to pour the right amount of the drug Mole into the creamy hole of the sink;
- secondly, wait 1-2 hours in order to turn the accumulated garbage into a jelly-like state;
- thirdly, wash off the resulting mass with plenty of water.
Helpful advice! In order for all layers of food and household waste to dissolve better, it is necessary to increase the temperature inside the pipes. Pour boiled water or hot water over the clogged area. Thus, cleaning becomes more efficient.
As a result, in just a couple of hours the problem is resolved and the drain is again clean. This is a much better way than using a plunger or calling a plumber at home.

Precautions when working with the drug Mole
Since the mole pipe cleaner is a very aggressive preparation, safety precautions must be followed. If inside the pipes, the cleaning agent starts a chemical reaction.Sodium hydroxide interacts with fats and other organics. As a result of splitting, heat is not released, but there is a specific unpleasant odor. Therefore, while using means to clean the sewage systems, the Mole needs to ventilate the room. Precautions when working with this drug are to protect the skin and mucous membranes, as severe burns can occur, and if it gets into the eyes, caustic soda, which is part of the Mole, can cause blindness. It is important to close your eyes with special splashproof glasses, put on rubberized gloves on your hands.
- If it happened that the product got on the skin, it is necessary to wipe the affected area with a solution of acetic acid and call a doctor.
- In case of contact with eyes, it is important to rinse with plenty of water and urgently call an ambulance to save the cornea from destruction.
Keep the means for cleaning sewer pipes Mole should be in tightly closed packaging in a dark, cool and out of reach of children, next to other household chemicals. By following these simple rules, you can be sure that the use of the above means is safe.
Before using the product, you need to read the instructions for its use
Prevention of obstruction in sewer pipes
To prevent the entry of household garbage into the sewer system, lining for the drain hole and entire systems for crushing garbage are used. As in many other areas, it is necessary to deal with prevention, and then there are no problems with operation. This applies to water supply systems and sewage systems. With timely prevention, the occurrence of blockages is observed only in 12% of cases. Prevention is carried out in the same way as cleansing from blockages. Moreover, doing this procedure is enough only 2 times a year.
Helpful advice! To clean the drain in the bathroom, use the Mole in the form of a gel or solution; in the kitchen it is better to use granular powder, the composition of which is more suitable for cleaning food waste.
All these actions are aimed at maintaining and uninterrupted operation of the sewer system. The use of cleaning agent Mole for sewer pipes is one of the highest quality and proven cleaning agents. It is better to carry out prophylaxis on time than to get rid of blockages.
