I am not pleased

Last night quite suddenly our kitchen sink got blocked. No big deal I thought. Poured down some drain cleaner and waited. Nada. Repeat performance. Nothing. Once more, avec sentiment - still no result.

 

This morning I solicited help from our head porter. After some discussion he brought up some sulphuric acid and waited to take its effect. All in wain.

 

One more try I thought before bringing in the pros. Trip to the nearest builder's merchant and purchased a waist cleaning 'worm', a new pipe seal and my own sulphuric acid.

 

Returned home and thought it best to fit the seal before doing anything else. Done that and proceeded to test it gently. Let a little water into the sink and checked for drips. Not a drop. OK so a bit more water. What's this? The water is actually clearing from the sink. Fill the sink half full and unplug. Whoa! All of it gashes down the holes - go figure.

 

Now I am left with a redundant worm.
