Blocked 7 metres long kitchen sink drain

[Murdochcat]

All I intend to do is drill small hole in an existing plastic pipe and put a rubber plug in the hole. What's odd about that.

and then another hole and another small hole. How do you think you can clear the blockage through a small hole?

Insert 1.5 metre rod through the hole and clear in both directions. No more holes were needed. It worked perfectly.

A bit of acid may get things going enough for the wet vac.

Don't use acid, let alone with a wet vac!

I mean obviously PPE + baking pwoder goes without saying. He seems competent enough to get this far.

Just thought I would show what I was up against by the attached pics.Cloakroom is to right of bay and kitchen is in middle. It was blocked solid to the right of bay and took some shifting with cables wires etc.
Apart from that it was doddle and rubber grommet is hardly noticeable.

You said it was inaccessible

It’s a shame none of the underground could have been changed to accommodate the pipe or the soil pipe.

+1. Basin waste would be better going straight into the stack, but the lower waste emerging next to the stack may be too low to connect, depending on depth to invert of the rest bend, a Gully could have been provided when the stack was fitted if that was the case. Would have avoided that long run and all those bends.
