Bath and shower blockage cleared in New Parks

The bath and shower at this New Parks property would not drain. Plunging had failed and a strong sulphuric-acid drain cleaner had already been used, but the obstruction remained.

New bath and shower waste pipework installed after a severe blockage in New Parks

What we found

The plumbing fault

Further investigation showed that hair and other debris had accumulated around the branch connection before the waste entered the 110mm soil pipe, almost completely closing the opening.

What AFS did

Diagnosis and repair

Access was carefully created through the ceiling below so the affected section of waste pipe could be removed. The blockage was cleared, new pipework was installed and the drainage was tested.

Useful guidance

What to watch for

Never mix drain-cleaning chemicals. Always tell the attending plumber exactly what products have been used so they can protect themselves and handle the pipework safely.
