Our recently restored kitchen initially had no sink and no water. The only water was from the well adjacent to the scullery. Now we have two sinks in the kitchen but the waste is a 20m 40mm push-fit run through three rooms to the 100mm soil pipe. The slope is better than 1:40.
I can reluctantly dismantle this waste pipe for cleaning but as an alternative I installed a vertical pipe (higher than the bottom of the kitchen sinks) in the waste run adjacent to the soil pipe, which enables me to cut off the flow from the sink and then fully fill the waste pipe with a cleaning chemical to dissolve grease. The cleaning chemical can be left to work overnight, with the dissolved grease then flushed away in the morning.
But I cannot find a waste cleaning chemical that will do the job. Can anyone please recommend a strong cleaning chemical that will fully dissolve the grease and not damage the push-fit seals?
