Fulla-Carp
|
Big terrible very serious clog in the kitchen sink, probably at or in the trap. Poured in a whole bottle of Liquid Plumber in installments (accidentally bought the cheap knockoff because they designed their packaging to look exactly like the good kind, the evil barstids), along with loads of hot water and plunging -- nothing. Finally in desperation consulted the Internet; a DIY guy told me to do all this stuff in one drainhole and BLOCK THE OTHER ONE so the pressure can build up to bust the clog loose -- instead of standing there like a dummy and marveling that the water was just sloshing from one drain to the other. Yep, it's the trap all right, yessiree. Confirming this about a DOZEN TIMES. So I blocked off the other drain and plunged, and boom, big clog-clearing slurp-and-gurgle and the the problem disappeared, just like that. |

Fluid dynamics FTW! Well done. Now you know! Also, those plastic drain snake things work well. |
