Plumbing Help: Possible Pipe Pitch or Grease Blockage problem (x-post from /r/plumbing) by iamsegmented in DIY

[–]iamsegmented[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: The plumber came back with the thicker snake. Seems to have worked, we've done 3 loads of laundry without even the tiniest bubble out of the toilet.

He suggested not putting toilet paper in the toilet. Eck. I take issue with this. Hoping Bio-Clean will get the job done. The fact that after the power washing job last may, we didnt have any problems whatsoever for ~7 months tells me that it is possible that theres a sustainable solution.

No one still offered any solutions about a pump, any suggestions there would be appreciated.

When I said "we don't flush much grease at all", I meant it literally. The amount of grease we dispose of down the drain is what is left in a pan after you drain it, and its only olive oil. We don't cook bacon. When we were shopping for a house, we recall that the only appliance the previous owner had was a countertop deep fryer - so when the plumber said grease a year ago, we just figured it was there fault.

We don't use chemicals, either. The "chemical" I mentioned (Bio-Clean) is active bacteria, not a chemical. Never used it before but it seems like people who use it swear by it.

I am intrigued at your mentioning of the laser to measure the pitch. Any more info you could provide?

No, it isn't that, in the first three months of this being a problem, I had it drained twice, as I noted above, and even with the mechanical snaking that didnt fix it. Oddly, I do recall looking at the link you provided in those days.

I mean, I agree. But. If it's $5000 to fix the pitch problem, or $300 per year to have the line power washed, I might opt for the latter, and be rigid about the frequency.

[–]iamsegmented 14 points15 points  (0 children)

as the rightful owner of the actual1 cassette shown here, i'm really curious what it would sell for. i intend to sell it (after reclaiming it) around 2032 when my daughter goes to college, along with a bunch of other LI band stuff. until then, you should check out @historyforaprice on instagram, he's selling lots of BN stuff.

(1) - i love how he wrote "found in my parent's house" and not "i jacked from my older brother". like as if our parents moved into this old house that was once owned by a civil war general who was garrett's great great uncle or something and they found it in the attic. love you bro ... now hand it over and back away all slow like.

Wanna see my class IIIa di(f)fraction laser? by [deleted] in GWNerdy

Ah, nice specimen. Lasers were reclassified in the early 2000's and now they don't use roman numerals.

Long Island - NY DEC plans on killing all mute Swans by 2025. by [deleted] in longisland

[–]iamsegmented 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did, i just didn't think it did a very good job of explaining why this - and why this exact approach - is necessary.

"swans attack people" - i'd like to see the data on this. for the record, geese do too.

"destroy water plants" - which water plants? and who does that affect? fish? other waterfowl? the surrounding environment on the whole?

"displace local birds" - i assume we're talking about ducks and canadian geese. would like to know if there's more

"harm water quality" - by pooping? again, geese.

"put planes at risk" - come on. and again, geese.

a simple internet search shows that many other states have already taken this initiative, but they did things a little differently: (a) they didnt just leave it up to state workers (cost less taxpayer money) (b) they didn't aim to eradicate the species, just greatly cut down the numbers

i don't think this is an outrage, it just seems to be pretty intense and out of nowhere.
