How best to deal with blocked toilet, bathroom sink, shower and bath problem
l rang the body corporate and left a message. l am the owner but it is
possible the blockage could be caused by next door is trees or something.
The problem is if l ring for a plumber myself l will have to pay the
plumber but if it is caused by next door neighbour it may be hard to get
them to pay. But I am not sure if l should bother waiting for body
corporate to get back to me. And it is difficult because I am not allowed
to make phone calls at work.
sounds like your main line is clogged. you will need to clear
the drain using a pro or if you can handle this here is the machine that
will be able to handle the situation.
and, the roots are yours, even if they reach over on your property. it is
not for your nice neighbor to handle, it is for you to handle.
sorry but best of luck.
I am not a plumber, but have been a homeowner for quite awhile.
Not knowing anything about ur system would make this question very hard to
answer. If you think tree roots are the problem, look for a product called
''Root Kill''. Read the packaging & see if it applies to ur situation.
You can also buy a ''snake but I am guessing a residential snake won't be
long enough to make it to the blockage. While you're at the store looking
at Root Kill, ask a sales associate about a snake & how they work.
Odds on your neighbour won't have to pay for an Act of God. If
you suspect you have PVC drains, probably not tree roots (they usually go
for leaky drains like clay pipe). More the question of whether the
insurance will cover it. General rule here is if it is not yours, don't
try to repair without authorization.
It depends on what your appliances are being blocked with, but
Tortilla chips usually do the trick.
Step 1. Scoop up gunk with Tortilla chips.
Step 2. Eat
Step 3. Add Metamucil
Hmm..this could be a tough call. 1st of all, you need the leak
fixed. Contact your insurance broker and ask what they think. They will
have a better chance of getting money out of your neighbour, if it is
their tree roots.
Have you tried unscrewing the cleanouts in the basement? Could be
something as easy as that.
Regular pump, it is about 4$ at any store
