Is it me - blocked basin

[rocketmanbkk]

Here I go again

Gf maisonette, bathroom basin blocked, old woman, take it apart & clean, all ok

Still blocked.

Now the pipe at the back runs along to the drain & can't be accessed.

I stick a auger a far as it'll go & prod/twist etc. nothing comes out in the end.

I go outside, the drain pipe for the gutter is out of its hole & there's pea shingle & muck, I can't get my hand down.

As you look from outside, on the left is the kitchen - all ok, in the centre the drain pipe & on the right the blocked basin.


The bath in the bathroom drains. It on the wall closest the kitchen.

Toilet ok.

This is the 4th sink/basin I've failed to unblock.

I recommended jetting it. I prodded the drain hole but it's bunged up

Any thoughts?

Last one i couldnt get my auger into As it had too many bends and behind kitchen units. so i got it into a position where i cleaned the end took a deep breath and blew it through. Funny taste in my mouth all day but it worked

Couldn't get in there. I'm baffled

Memo: Carry bottle of mouthwash in the van? (Or use the customers bottle in the bathroom)

Any chance of using a wet vac?.....just a thought..regards Turnpin

If its solvent weld, get a air pump unblocked, save sucking your mouth round the pipe

Just had a call, neighbour went round, plunged it 5 seconds - all clear!!

Now I'm stumped

Next time wet vac - if there is a next time.

Unbelievable
