Down the Drain

Category: Daily Diary

Photographic evidence of the importance of having the drains under the house cleaned out at least once a year.

Roots. Lots and lots of roots. And what looks like baby wipes. Not quite sure who flushed those. That's a no-no.

(Hi Mom! Hope you weren't eating breakfast in front of the laptop this morning!)

With that many roots it appears you may have a major break in your sewer line. The old clay pipes they used in the old days were very prone to separate & allow tree roots to enter. The roots seek out any water they can find. Good Luck. POPS --30--

No, I wasn't eating breakfast - it was lunch. And the babywipe villian is NOT me. Just in case you were wondering.....

What a nightmare! Our kitchen pipes had 2 feet of this black gunk... solid black gunk. I guess 100 years worth. Since I could not clean it, I replaced the pipes with all new black PVC and the water flows effortlessly now. That was 6 months ago. Last weekend our bathroom sink had the same problem, luckily I was able to clean the pipes and now it works great, but ohhhh what a smelly mess!
