Howdy fellas,

Looking for some DWV tips:

I am so ready for this workweek to be finished.

Cheers from the land of enchantment,



Retarded post. No info. Obviously spam. Nope, no clickie from me. Is
this a dumb **** survey?

No problem with the video. Poor guy has a slow drain, and cant auger his
way past a "solid obstruction". Since the water does eventually drain,
it isn't a total obstruction.

My bath also gets very slow to drain. Most likely because there isn't
much pitch between tub and stack. Generally no big clogs (except the
usual hair clog when longhaired people visit for a long time). Drain
gets much better when I use a plumbers helper vigorously with overflow
and vanity sink plugged. This brings up lots of black gooey stuff that
can be flushed through, and then the drain is fine again for a year or
so. Should have redone the drain pipe when the kitchen ceiling was open.
Too many different materials were used in that drain pipe ...


I got **nothing** with my hand auger, not a single hair, no sludge.
We'll see how I do with a power augur. cheers,
