🌺 There's a way the plumbers do it over here in the USA...they tell them that if they stand over you and tell you how to do this, the charge will triple for everytime they do.

[@oermama]

Great job 👌 why did the builders leave all that sand in the manhole? Doesn’t the flushed down sand cause problems in the long run? All those wipes, I heard the English gouvernement will ban wet wipes, cause they give lot of problems where the water is filtered.

[@NYDRAINS]

The trap for the main sewer is usually underneath the foundation and if it's not maintained the pit slowly fills with sand or dirt depending on the neighborhood. As for the sand, that will wash away with every flush.

[@hempseedaddict]

Seems like endless challenges keeping them brown rivers flowing....

[@MightyMuffins]

10c tip is always nice. :P But that was one deep pit and trap system. Wonder if they originally put all that dirt in there to act like a insulation to not have the cold air from the ground seep up into the house. Still that's kind of an exceessive amount. I think that scale from the pipe also helped potentially act like a fishing hook and caught all those wipes.

[@NYDRAINS]

It was actually 20+ years of dirt back filled from under the foundation, the scale definitely played a part.

[@MightyMuffins]

@@NYDRAINS Twenty years...yup that could definitely do that.

And for the sand, the main sewer is usually underneath the foundation and it time will fill with sand or dirt depending on where you live if it's not maintained on a regular basis or completely sealed off.
