The en-suite sink waste pipe gets clogged up every few years with gunk (tootpaste, soap, etc). This was installed by a professional plumber and he is long gone.

Hi,
I have a dry blue plastic water pipe emerging in my detached garage. I have no idea where it originates from. I’m guessing it must be either in the kitchen or bathroom of my 2003 bungalow. But there is no evidence of this - short of taking units apart.
