Blocked sink

I can hardly type for laughing.

Mr Paw is upstairs doing the whole u-bend thing now while I'm down here eating my tea.

He just came down to get something longer to poke about with (fnar) and said in passing he's made of fail.

He unscrewed the pipey thing, and it was full of water, obviously, so he emptied it down the sink :D

I can't stop laughing. I'm actually crying now. :D :D :D
 
I use this, concentrated sodium hydroxide for 30 mins followed by flushing with boiling water. Works every time.

I'm scared it'll be a design problem, since it recurrs every few months. Our bath plug hole gets far more of a battering with acres of my hair getting matted in it. But a swift pull of the hair in the hole and it's all clear again. No idea what could be causing the sink one to block every now and again. Unless Mr Paw is keeping something from me :hmm:

Do you live in flats? If so it could be a neighbour causing the blockage further down.
 
It's clear. He said there was a big blockage, maybe 5 inches long. He said it looked like it consisted of a mixture of hair and toothpaste :hmm:

I'm confused as to where this hair is coming from though. Maybe over the course of 9 years the odd strand has fallen in the sink and it's accumulated. Who knows. Either way, Mr Paw has acquired a new skill, I've added a good 3 or 4 years onto my life by laughing so hard I nearly wet myself, and we can now brush our teeth without spitting toothpaste into standing water.

Will buy some of those soda crystals though, for monthly maintenance.

Ooh, we don't live in flats Mr Onket - old victorian terrace.
 
It's one of the reasons I loves him so ... he's so made of fail it's ridiculous :D


:D We match cos Flashy is like that too. :p Our outside drain has suddenly blocked in the last couple of weeks and we've been pouring all sorts down it starting with the softly softly stuff. I made him don rubber gloves and a pair of goggles before even opening the caustic soda cos I just knew something would happen otherwise.

in fairness i doubt he's the first person to do this - but you let the man near your plumbing ? :D
