[@heathercortes9567]

This is why I own a duplex and refuse to rent out one of the apartments. One of my sons lives down there. The neighbors have caused this in my house bt backflow after a heavy rain. I had the sewer guys come out a couple of times the last few years. It was always clogged with fast food crap, tampons and grease. A few times it was condoms and things of that nature. We don't use any of that stuff. I dispose of grease in a container or dump it in the compost if I'm lazy. The city messed up the pipes a few years ago redoing the streets and wont fix it. Every time it happens it costs me at least $300 to drain my basement.

[@wmilesstonem]

[@TokoNuttz808]

Im more intrigued about the shower being a bathroom.

[@wickedsai]

This is common in multiple eastern countries. It makes so much sense to have the entire restroom be water proof. Makes cleaning it so much easier. No worries about damaging the walls. Only downside is if you want tonchange the decor, it's an entire change, not just one part.

[@Kgp-c6l]

Sus though

[@GamerNerdess]

It has nothing to do with "making sense since it's easier to clean". They do it that way since most Asian households and apartments are incredibly tiny. Having it all in one saves a ton of space. This is normal in Asia.

[@jinatlas8674]

I wonder why one way check valves aren't being use to prevent backflow.

[@leannkennedy6568]

@Nick Kirschner Oh, ok. Thank you.

[@tanawilliams7498]

I was a pretty good plumber not that long ago but a long time ago I remember using a one-way check valve and I remember there was a reason for it but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. In my 15-year experience I found that one-way check valves are very very rarely used. If something happens you have to cut out all the pipe around it and then put the pipe back in. I prefer good old-fashioned ball joint valves

[@tanawilliams7498]

I remember when we had to go to a combination small apartment building with a big restaurant on the first floor. The drains were backed up all the way into the basement and the landlord was swearing up and down that the tenants were bad that tenants did all this stuff just so he have to spend money. I should say he owned the restaurant on the first floor. So we're down there opening up all the cleanouts trying to find which waste line this clog was coming from. Well we finally found it and we were pulling out washcloths and underwear and a lot of tampons and several small white towels and the landlord was jumping up and down about how he's going to find out which tenant did this and he's going to throw him out. The waste line that it was coming from was directly from the restaurant. He was so mad that he couldn't charge a tenant for our services he tried not to pay us. No my boss was an old softy who didn't like confrontation. That's one of the reasons he hired me. There is no way I'm working in human waste for 4 hours and not getting paid for it I had a few words with the landlord and he paid right up. You can mess with me you can mess with my house but there are three things you never mess with with me. My animals my kids and my money

[@danachappell3861]

What a mess!! Veggies mixed in with grease. Even I know that you aren't supposed to put any kind of vegetation down the drain, especially if it's still whole like that. Here in Canada, that goes in the green bags, which is wet or compost trash. Sad how so many people are getting lazy and just don't want to do that little bit extra to dispose of it properly. If I did that, I'd end up costing myself a pile of money, as I have to pay to have my septic system cleaned out. It's a private septic system (rural area). Then I'd have to pay for a plumber to come in and clean out my pipes inside the house. That gets freaking expensive. Been there, done that. lol Keep up the excellent work, gentlemen!!

[@roxy918]

Almost all sinks in kitchens have strainers to catch food waste. I think people don't use it well..... or it's easier to just pour it down the drain and hope it goes away. Food waste is separated fro normal waste. There can be a communal bin downstairs of a apartment complex to throw away food waste. There are also special bins specifically for food waste. It's up to the individual though, to follow the rules correctly.

Sunken bathrooms with a floor drain is the norm in Asia. Also the floor and walls all tiled. They call them “wet rooms”. Hard to get used to since you have to put on shoes to go into the bathroom. I bought a house in the Philippines and renovated it to a western style. I gutted the bathrooms, stripped the tile from the walls except for the shower, sealed up and tiled over the floor drains, and put wax seals and bolts on the toilet. I now have a bathroom I can walk into in the middle of the night without fear of slipping. Never had an issue in 7 years now.
