Up came a bright yellow sponge. The one his wife, Martha, had been looking for last week. He stared at it. He tossed it aside. He reached back in.
It started as a Monday. Not just any Monday, but the kind where the sky decides to unload a month’s worth of rain in twenty minutes. Arthur was in the kitchen, humming along to the radio, when he noticed the water level in the sink rising. It wasn’t going down.
Dave’s wife, Sarah, screamed from the top floor. Dave looked up just in time to see a geyser of brown, turkey-infused water erupt from the kitchen sink faucet, spraying the ceiling, the freshly painted walls, and the brand new curtains.
If that doesn’t work, next stop is a wet vac or calling someone with a jetter. And if it keeps blocking, could be a collapsed pipe or root intrusion.
Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from the kitchen solidify in cold pipes, while "flushable" wipes and hair create stubborn clogs.
