Stuck Spring in Sewer Pipe: Removing WUKO Spiral from Basement Drain Grille (Detached House)

Question

Hello, I have such a problem and I would ask someone wise to consult. A few days ago I had a small blockage in the sewer pipe in the basement of a detached house. WUKO arrived, they removed the blockage. Everything would seem OK. However, yesterday I discovered that they had left a spiral in the...

Hello. At the beginning I would do it or, as you've seen somewhere, bought some long pliers to catch and squeeze. I would even make a makeshift ribbed wire. Forging the floor does not make sense. Only what comes to my mind. Write the diameter of this pipe and how deeply this spring is stuck.

My idea is to remove the spring ........... with the second spring I imagine that you crank the recessed spring and it wraps around what's in it.

Wait - if they left the spring, let them pull it out. Forging? Let them forge, and then bring everything to their previous state.

Welcome. If they've made it off, they should do it themselves. Why should you correct them? I understand that you may not trust them, but it's their concern to leave an efficient installation. Unless there's something else you haven't written about? greetings edit: Loker colleague beat me

They want to forge, except that the basement is not used for screed, but for large panels, something like terrazzo, by the eye about 1.5x2m. If they start forging in such a record, in my opinion, it will crack and it will be glory. Probably later they would have to make the whole floor in the basement and it goes into thousands (basement + garage is about 40m2). In addition, I am not sure if the spring is exactly in the place that experts talk about. Apparently, some 6m of spring got stuck so a lot. It would be more convenient for me to get her out of it, but I don't know if it's possible. Maybe someone did such a miracle? I can tug on this today, maybe I can do it, damn it, it should come out.

Loker · Answer

As you wish. Two things:
- somehow I can't imagine how this spring could get stuck - caught on something? About what?
- hurry up with this pulling out, because if this spring starts to catch garbage then you will have such a blockage that without forging you will certainly not do without.

@Loker
1. She had to catch something because they left her there and apparently it cost PLN 600, but nobody knows what. 3 pipes meet in the floor in one place, maybe there she stood on this tee.
2. I just know, the morons have not said anything yet, and it has been lying there for a week. It is good that my wife did the laundry yesterday and checked the clothes, she saw a surprise.

Let the inspection camera in and let everything be clear if it is exactly there.

I had a similar case. The spring was folded from several pieces (it can be extended) and one of the attached segments detached and remained in the pipe.
The guests let in an inspection camera and it was immediately obvious what and how.
There is no unnecessary forging and undressing of side things.

olek2601 · Answer

And how did they get her out?

Anonymous · Answer

It could have been rusted and crumbled in a corroded place.

RADU23 · Answer

There was no problem because the installation goes under a suspended floor. So only one pipe element was dismantled and the spring was removed.

Tommy82 · Answer

But how is it you see it or do you know there is what you have access there don't you have any search along the way? maybe from the settler's side in the garden as you have. More details.

I support and some photo would be useful.

The idea is 50% successful, except that if two springs are broken in the pipe, nothing will help. To make sensible advice, you need to know the reason and the real reason for the presence of the spring in the pipe. If she broke off, she twisted and was in good condition, there is probably nothing else but forging, because she had to hook herself completely. However, if it was strained before use, i.e. just had a weak place in its structure, it will be pulled out with anything. To find out, you need to press those professionals who cut her off. If forging has occurred, do not forge from the grille to the end of the pipe, but make a inspection hole a few meters from the grille - it would be good to know how many meters of this spring sits in the pipe. Can you catch and pull her out through this hole? greetings

I wrote that this is my idea and not a recommendation for a colleague of the author. However, I would try this way first with a feeling and a new spring.

If they could, they would pull it out, cut it off and leave it. Also it is very fast clogged with dirt and then it will be a lime.

KaW · Answer

Report the problem to WUKO. They work in it and have their own patents ...

jalop · Answer

Not only to report, but to write a complaint and support the one who left a viper.

The spiral probably got stuck somewhere and they left it there, "and maybe nobody will notice?"
My daughter rinsed the kitchen towel two months ago, traveled halfway and finished. After many fights for a rod welded to the viper, he finally managed to pull it out.
It will not be so easy with a spiral. I estimate the chances at zero.

olek2601 · Answer

The problem was solved, luckily it was done without forging, but another WUKO employee did. He clipped the protruding spring into the pusher and released it at minimum speed. As it turned out earlier, they set too high revolutions on the plunger and that's why they couldn't. They were scared because they saw that the floor was terrazzo and forging would cost them a lot of money. The best part is that in his opinion, they didn't need this spring unnecessarily earlier, it could have been pushed through differently.
