Kitchen sink is plugged up again. It's really plugged up this time too. The water isn't even slowly going down. I replaced a big section of the drain pipe a couple of weeks ago (I had a picture in my blog of my crawlspace) and in the pipe I found grout, which I assume the minimum wage inbregnorants who tiled my house before I bought it dumped down the drain. There must be more down there, but the rest of the piping is inaccessible (under the house), meaning I can't replace it. Crap.
I might rent one of those heavy duty drain augers or buy one that I could power with the drill. Those are only 25 bucks. The hand operated one isn’t cutting it. Guess where I am spending Christmas Eve Day.
I read in a bunch of places on the interweb, google "grout in drain" you'll be surprised how many people think its okay to dump cement down a drain, that muriatic acid might help break up the grout. At least I have a few options before having to call in a professional.
