I spent the better part of two day trying to unclog our kitchen sink. Ended up having to rent a large electric drain snake. My dad is a license plumber and pipe fitter at a chemical plant, was really wishing he was here to help. He'd be proud of me though I managed to install a pvc clean out tree after I couldn't get the clog from under the sink.
After I hacked sawed through the pipe I found the main factor of the clog. Rice and lots of it, was put down the drain and expanded into a plug. It was so thick that the snake would poke through and it would close itself up as soon as I would pull the snake out again.
Plumber tip from my dad, "Know when pay day is, crap doesn't go up hill, and don't eat with your fingers."
There's a certain satisfaction to making repairs to your own home. Good to see you have your dads "hands-on" intuitiveness...
