Hi Guys
First time of posting
Need some advice.
I have just moved into a block of 8 flats of which I am on the second floor. I appear to have a problem with my drainage system ay home. Kitchen sink very slow to drain. Washing machine not draining at all but was draining back into sink. All waste pipes are run behind kitchen cupboards to a central hdden stack in the bathroom. The toilet is flushing normally so I am assuming the problem is with me internally. The flat had previously been let out and I think the cleanliness of the tenants left a lot to be desired so I would not be surprised if they had thrown all sorts down the sink!!!
I purchased a master plunger but this did not seem to do much to ease the problem. I feel it is probably blocked behind my cupboards. Is there anything that I can do to avoid taking out the back of my cupboards to get access? There is an access point under the sink but the waste then turns immediately at a right angle so would experience difficulty getting round the bend tool. Hope this all makes sense!!!
Any help would be grately appreciated as the flat is really starting to smell!!!
