It must be it. super. Did anyone get a chance ot look at the pictures in this thread?

i have neglected a few months of bio clean maintenance. can you guys comment from the photo if the foreign material appears in the pictures appears to be toilet paper or oxidized metal pipe on a 45 or 23 degree elbow.. The contractor said it was oxidation due the orange colour. He was...

they have no children although i can see how you would come to that concusion. i just posted two pics of the pipe itself

Here are the pictures of the snaked line. the drain company told me that my flange section was lead, the pipe was cast iron (what you can see in the picture). He said that what i am looking at is the iron oxidation (rust). last year, i saw this whole area spick and span after a 2 week bio...

no the drain line was clogged

I scooped most of it out of the bowl. What would this do to my plumbing/drain system if some pieces got in? i don't understand why a drain company would do this. the toilet was removed and put back. would bio clean break this up if it ended up in my pipes? i am dumbstruck

I was just having some plumbing problems. A drain clog. Drain company came and snaked it. someone else uses in the basement. After the clog was cleared by the drain company, i found a strange substance in the bowl and don't know what it is. maybe 1 quarts worth of the stuff. i put a small...

the tile will be saved. I didn't realize the trip lever did not serve the same function as the diverter being this is a very old tub. It is funny i have never used this thing before. The water coming out the the tub spout hits the lever. Is this normal?. I am concerned that water will get...

Sorry, It has been a while. My plumber installed a new diverter. We did not change any of the plumbing hardware and left it as is. It is a little delicate. The water still comes out "lumpy", and is hitting the old unsed tub diverter lever that is still in the tub. I am a little concerned...

i found out some information that should be useful to members of this forum This is about the smell and the bio clean product and the rotten egg smell. This is just one scenario, but i hope it will help someone else. The smell which definitely smelled like sulpher dioxide was most pungent...

Yeah, I really noticed the smell when i put my head in the sink and smell the drains (2 sinks with 1 trap). I wonder if the Bio-clean is eating something in there that is causing the smell. I have not flushed the water out in days in any fixture exept for bio clean treatments. (i was planning...

rotten egg smell is coming from sink again this morning I checked the water level in the trap, and it seemed to be fine. I am curious where such a smell could be coming from. any thoughts? Please help!

The symptoms: A basement shower has backed up 2 times in the last 6 months and cleared by a plumber 2times in a branch line., most recently last week. Gurgling sounds happened during the backup. I am currently going through a bio-clean treatment after the plumber left last week. I have been...

After the drain company came in, they scoped the lines, and we had quite a it of grease buildup. They recommended spraying it with a special machine. The only concern i have is that i have old clay pipes that don't fit together perfectly, and they may be spraying the soil out that is between...

any thoughts?

I tired to snake it myself with (no laughing!) a hand auger for a sink because that is all i had, unfortunately it is only 1/4" and did felt to be not stiff enough. I tried renting a 1/2" snake, but it didn't fit around a turn in the pipe. (i didn't want to force it) It also had a "claw" on...

he said toilet paper. toilet paper he said will find a little spot and build up over time. When he snaked it, it literally took 5 seconds when the camera hit the blockage and then everything cleared. side note, i was wondering if putting a liner would work. i really don't want to rip up my...

2 years ago or so I replaced all of the clay tile pipe in my laundry room with PVC. there were some clay to PVC connections when the drain company installed it. However 6 months ago, and again yesturday (has not be repaired yet), a branch line is clogged. The first time this happened i had...

Does anyone have any ideas about what this could be? -g
