    Blockage after sink p trap

    I tried putting one of those metal flex rods down but can't seem to get round one corner even twisting it. Tried chemicals also and a hosepipe with pressure. Still flowing extremely slowly.

    Blockage after sink p trap

    Agreed but it should still flow at the moment? I'm just wondering if there's anything specific in the piping that would prevent it.

    Blockage after sink p trap

    Can't figure this one out. Have put a metal spring deblocker down the pipe but it stops after 2m, I presume it can't get round the bend. I put chemicals down but the sink still blocks. The ptrap on the left is clear. When I pour liquid down the flex pipe on right, if I lift it higher than the...

    House p trap?

    To allow a cleanout is there a wye that I can install? Problem is the inlet would be horizontal so what tee or wye would work with a 45 degree?

    House p trap?

    Would a wye 90 degree be too extreme for the entrance and exit? There are some 67 degree wyes to allow clean out access but my maths is not up to scratch to make that work. :) I assume to cut that in I have to use flexible couplers, there's no way to make the pipe fit in with cement weld? Also...

    Garage door open/close switch

    It is remote only at the moment. There is no infra red on this device it seems very clunky but maybe it stops automatically? Would a cardboard box provide enough force to stop it? The issue I have is that all my remotes but 1 have run out of battery and the 1 that is charged I left somewhere...

    Garage door open/close switch

    I have an electric garage door but the wall open/close switch was never installed. On my previous door, you could do this with a telephone wire plugged into the remote section but it seems like that connection doesn't exist on this and looks like it might take a 1.0 or 1.5 core but I can't...

    loud banging noise when washing machine spins

    With an empty drum it spins fine. With clothes in it, drained, it makes the noise again and shakes the entire machine violently.

    ejector pump flowing back after 1 min

    The ejector pump pumps directly to the septic tank. After about 1 minute, I can hear some gurgling and it sounds like water coming back through the pipe. Anything I can do to see what the problem might be? It's in the pipe closest in the video. the bizarre thing is that that pipe closest...

    grinder too powerful too sand?

    It's not thick wood- they are like these wood panels or cladding that you can put on the outside of a house. Should still work I hope.

    exposing floorboards

    Just pulled up carpet and MDF to find floorboards in good condition underneath. Would like to expose these but at the edge of the skirting, the MDF continues under a dry wall into the next room. How can I cut the MDF clean at the skirting board so that it doesn't show?

    cleaning sloppy brick

    There is a style of brick pointing used in the 70s called brick baveuse. How would you go about removing the excess pointing and tidying it up making it look like normal brickwork?
