    How to remove cement in plastic tube under the floor
    Hi,

    When they were building my house, I put a yellow electric pipe in the cement where the tiles comes on. Purpose is to lead so lines true it later for connection of sound or TV and computer from 1 side of the room to the other.

    Now I see that some water with cement seep true the connections and prevent me to easy putting the wires true. (yes I should have glued them)

    Is there any way to remove that cement without breaking the floor ? Here in my country they sell like a sodium (heavy biting product) to clean cement of from tiles, if you put it in water the water start bubbling.

    I not sure it is wise to put that product in... any other solution ?

    Thanks
    Chris

    Forgive me but I do not understand your question.

    Are you asking if there is a product available to clean the floor or do you want to find out how to remove the conduit?

    If the conduit is imbedded in the foundation slab concrete, you will have to cut it out, which means breaking the floor.

    Yes

    The conduit is imbedded in the foundation slab concrete but the pipe is open on both sides.

    So no way to add a product that only cut the entered cement ? Is just a little but enough to dive me trouble to push the wire true

    How long is the pipe?
    Can you push anything through from either end?
    Is the blockage only in one spot or along the length of the pipe?
    If just one spot, how far from the end? (either end)
    If it is just one spot and you can get to it, there are snakes that may be able to break through the concrete... depending on how thick the blockage is. The more information you supply the greater the likelihood that you will get an answer that will work.
