Blocked Drain

[Munroast]

I have noticed in the past when our sink gets a bit bunged up that it is fatty deposits that form just after the U-Bend. Not in the U-Bend just after it (downstream)

Is this just a phenomenon of my sinks plumbing, or is this a common place for deposits to build up ? I was thinking that was probably where it had cooled down enough to solidify.

And what drain cleaner best dissolves this sort of fatty build up ?

Drain cleaner chemical drain buster if you can get its sulphuric acid

leathal stuff use with caution
Don’t tip it directly onto chrome or it will turn it black

wear goggles

don’t get it on yer hands and def not yer Willy

and don’t mix it with house hold bleach or you will end up with chlorine gas

other than that and numerous other safety precautions crack on

DON'T USE SULPHURIC ACID!

It might be hydrochloric acid and bleach that produces chlorine gas

cleared a pub out ounce when I used it to unblock a urinal and chlorine gas was produced in abundance

def tell you the punters had no sense of humour

if I recall and it was a good while back I was referred to as a lady’s Willy by some whilst they were
Coughing and spluttering out side

And if said bottle of dam buster has not got the skull and cross bones warning on it don’t bother getting it

If it's just fat deposits try some boiling water first.

Once it is flowing, just run the hot tap through for a while..
