Well the much awaited for drain clearing vehicle finally arrived this morning at about 10.00am.
Two wonderful characters called Nimmy & Mick appeared. (Mick was your typical Irishman - Irish brogue so thick you could cut it with a knife, totally laid back, and happy with his work of clearing the "you know what" from the sewer) He took great pride in his work, and explained in great detail what was in the sewer and what he had to do to clear it.
After first using a narrow low pressure hose to no effect, he decided he would use the thicker, higher pressure hose, and with a cry of "Watch out for blowbacks!" he turned up the pressure. There were great gurglings and swooshing sounds, much sludge spewing out of the inspection chamber and down the next door but ones drive, but no signs of the blockage clearing.
He then resorted to rods and explored every nook and cranny of the insepction chamber, before coming up with loads of entangled "Wet Wipes"
"To be sure," he said , in his thick Irish Brouge, "Them's yer problem!" He then continued to "rod" every pipe he could find explaining. "Dis'll shift de Buggers!"
More high pressure hose work and suddenly "SWOOSH!!" and the sewer was clear.
A high pressure jetting of the next door and next door but ones drives, followed by a liberal spreading of disinfectant, and Mick and his mate went on their merry way.
