got a call today from a customer that i see a couple of times a year as he is a hands on guy and will try it first before he calls me.

so this morning he has a kitchen sink and island sink stoppage. only c/o was under the island. so he rigs up a couple of caps for the traps. removes the 2'' island c/o plug and shoves a rubber "drain king" into the line.

10 minutes into the drain king his soon to be 3 year old daughter tells her dad "it's raining outside"

i guess he got lucky that the water went up to the second story roof vent instead of downstream into an unoccupied bathroom.

so i go there and use my k-50 to clean the line with the 5/8'' cable and bulb auger.

pretty lucky i guess:rolleyes:

I`ve shot water out the roof vent by doing the old G/D trick....rotflmao

I'd have to guess that was a single story, even then I'd never figure a g/d to have that much power...wow.

you go outside and see water dripping off the roof and a pile of food laying by the vent....lol
