So I just got back from the gym.
A late night session and I'm drinking this recovery shake with water.
The water came from the same sink (clogged pipe) I fought not to long ago.
All the hours and products and trying were a 100% waste of time and I learned a lesson.
Don't bother to much with things you don't understand unless you want to learn more about it.
I have no interest in plumbing.
I should have called a plumber straight away.
This morning the guy arrived.
He looked like someone that spends a lot of time underground.
A pro, I knew it straight away. I nicknamed him 'the mole'.
I showed him the the sink and he gave a small grunt.
He wasn't impressed with my half ass repair.
I also came clean about the fake teeth cleaner, mixed with drain cleaner and coffee filter smuck.
I was afraid it might hurt him.
He couldn't care less.
He was annoyed because he had to put the thing back together because this was not the solution to the problem.
I apologised..
The mole went outside and found the kitchen sewer pipe connection.
I have no idea how he found it so quick (considering it was underground) but I wasn't going to ask this psychic plumber.
A pro is a pro and that's good enough for me.
'Just wait....I'm going to get the hose', he said.
I waited.
He came back with a huge hose he rolled out of his van.
The mole inserted the hose in the pipe and then pressed a button on a remote control.
The hose kicked into life.
'100 bars of raw water power', he said.
I nodded in awe.
It made me wonder how much bars I had manage to produce with my plunger...
He moved his black snake up and down while it slipped deeper into the hole.
At some point he must have found the blockage because he was franticly moving his hose up and down now.
It would not budge.
He then looked at me and said.
"You better go close your toilet lid, because we are going 200 bars".
This was getting serious now..
I did as I was told.
I gave the mole the thumbs up.
He pressed the button on the remote.
The noise was intense.
Again he was moving his hose up and down. And then..
PLOOP!
Big chunks of white gunk came out of the hole.
He looked at me and said, 'you need to relearn how to wash the dishes'.
His explanation how it all happened was pretty simple.
When you wash dishes and there is too much grease or fat on the plates/pans it will turn liquid because of the hot water.
But then it enters the pipe, and then it will solidify especially when it's cold
Repeat this process long enough and it will clog the pipe.
Made sense too me.
I paid him and that was that.
All my problems were solved by a pro in 15 minutes, 10 faster and better then I already spend trying to fix it myself.
I learned my lesson.
Let pro's be pro's.
