cmsally Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Must admit am very intrigued as to what plumbing problem is immediately obvious - impromptu fountain in front garden where there shouldn't be one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyinasia Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I don't actually have anything meaningful to add, just that when I glanced at the OPs name "womblejamie" out of the corner of my eye, my mind read it as "women blame me" before I completed the double-take. I must have latent issues or somesuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblejamie Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Must admit am very intrigued as to what plumbing problem is immediately obvious - impromptu fountain in front garden where there shouldn't be one?? No fountain... obvious problem is blocked sink pipe and I've done all I can with it like drain clearer and a long bendy thingy to go round the pipes!! In England we had this company called Dynorod (I Think) bloody excellent and this job would be done in 5 minutes, not holding out hope here...

cmsally Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Try boiling water (at least a pan full) as its probably grease. If it works, lots of soapy water to follow until well cleaned out. If that doesn't work; if you have a trap in the pipe under the sink; you can probably unscrew it and clean it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Is the problem in the smallest room? If so there are crystals that you can buy from any hardware store that you just chuck in and leave them to do their job, flush about an hour later, I have found this to work effectively far to many times !!!

womblejamie Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for the above advice, but although I am not the best DIY person I have already tried boiling water, bleach, the crystal drain unblocker and even a coat hanger. all pipes have been done as far as i can go as they now travel under the house and i don't think me ripping up the floor will go down to well with the owners!!

AmeriThai Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for the above advice, but although I am not the best DIY person I have already tried boiling water, bleach, the crystal drain unblocker and even a coat hanger. all pipes have been done as far as i can go as they now travel under the house and i don't think me ripping up the floor will go down to well with the owners!! It sounds like it's just the kitchen sink pipes that are clogged, and that bathroom sink and toilet are draining fine. My guess is would be a buildup of grease, along with other slimy stuff like rice rinsed off from the dishes, etc. The crystal drain cleaners can take some time to break through, and may need more than one or two applications. If it still doesn't help, then a plumber may be the only other solution. My wife has a bad habit of pouring grease and oil down the drain, which ultimately ends up getting clogged. On one occasion the clog was in deep and required having to tear things apart to some degree to get to it. We have screens in the sink now to prevent rice and so forth from going down the drain only to get stuck by the grease. Grease is now poured into a metal pot with a lid. If you opt for the plumber, I too would be interested i hearing the results. Never know when it might be handy to know someone who can get the job done.

StevieH Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 hydrochloric acid poured down the drain and left for a wee while generally works and melts through grease, hair, rice, just about anything. just try not to spill any on yourself when pouring.
