It’s almost 1am, but I just had to write this post!
I hoped the plumber would have called while I was at my mother’s. When he hadn’t called by the time I got home, I called again and left another message. This time I mentioned we had only the one bathroom, and were using a honeypot.
No call. Which probably means they are really busy.
With the drain cleaner having no effect, and the plunger just splashing and making a mess, we were getting pretty frustrated.
Then I remembered we might have another option to try. After looking around, I found this stuff.

There wasn’t a lot left in the bottle. We’d been using it for a while, but when I tried to get more, I couldn’t find it. Even the employee that tried to help me had never seen it before, though she did still try to find it for me. Then we just forgot to use what we had left.
I dumped the last of the bottle into the toilet bowl, then left it for several hours.
Just a little while ago, I tried plunging again, and it actually worked! We have a flushing toilet again!!!
We have seriously got to find more of this stuff.
It also confirms for me that the root of the problem is the main drain pipe itself. Too many decades of grime coating the inside.
So we definitely still need to get it cleaned out, or it’s going to clog up again.
Plus we need to stock up on this stuff and use it regularly!!! It’s like magic!

remember the book title? Ha – it must be such a relief to have a working toilet again, for now –
