			<![CDATA[What ho one and all,<br /><br />I posted some months ago regarding a 4" pipe kitchen waste blockage.  I figured the 'fatball' was inside the ceramic U bend in the ground.<br /><br />My tenant has cleared the blockage with a jet washer but I am going to do it again as I have a right angle fitting for car arches that will blast water directly into the U bend.<br /><br />However, the owner of the g/f property where the issue occurs is quite adamant that I should get a 'professional' to investigate and clean / replace it properly, 'once and for all.'  That is not going to happen unless he pays for the work, which would involve digging up a few meters of his patio!<br /><br />My question is, what do 'professionals' use to clean a below ground 4" U bend?  My drain shake kinda refuses to  negotiated the bends, as does my 10m long sewer cleaning hose for the pressure washer.<br /><br />Thanks and toodle pip]]>
