blocked
Hi guys, the waste pipe (is that what it is called? it is the pipe leading from my sink) in my bathroom is blocked. I have cleared the P-trap, used a gel-like drain cleaner I got from a supermarket, poured boiling hot water down it, poured strong bleach down it, none of which worked. I even separated the P-trap from the remainder of the pipe and rammed a sharp pole down it in an attempt to dislodge what is causing the blockage. I suspect I may have just compacted whatever is is causing the blockage. I have attached photos of the substance I think may be causing the blockage. To me it looks like limescale but I am from a soft water area so I am not sure. Let me know if it is.
I've also attached a photo of the part of the pipe where the blockage is.
Obviously, I am trying to avoid using a plumber as I think the problem should be easily solved and I am broke. If anyone can suggest a way of clearing the blockage without the use of a plumber and cheaply I'd be really appreciative. I have thought about putting something down the part of the pipe where the blockage is that may 'dissolve' limescale.:smile:.
