5. Zhihu highly praised emergency plan
For different degrees of urgency, Zhihu Wanzan’s answer recommends the following processing procedures:
1.First level emergency(Water is about to overflow): Immediately close the angle valve at the rear of the toilet → block the overflow port with a towel → take out the water in the toilet tank
2.Level 2 emergency(The water level continues to rise): Use rubber gloves to directly remove the blockage → cooperate with a clothes hanger to clear it → it is strictly prohibited to continue flushing
3.Routine maintenance: Flush the pipes with 1L boiling water every week → use pipe dredging agent every month → check the water tank parts every quarter
As a final reminder, if the problem is still not solved after trying the above methods for 2 hours, it is recommended to contact professional dredging personnel immediately to avoid more serious pipeline damage. Maintaining good toilet habits can fundamentally solve the problem.
