  • spent most of yesterday removing congealed fat from my less than effective 1 1/2 kitchen sink pipes.
    No wonder it wasn't draining properly.
    When installed my builder said it would never drain super well, because of the lack of drop between sink and waste pipe.
    Is there anything I can do to ensure I don't have to get elbow deep in congealed fat clogged pipes again? Replace sink for a more conventional model?
    Should note it's in an ex council flat, with communal service pipes, which mine link to..

  • Don't pour fat down the sink.

  • I find the Mr Muscle foaming cleaner works pretty well for slow running drains (not sure if there's a more industrial version out there). Maybe lob some of that down pretty regularly.

    On meters, anyone had a water meter fitted? As I live in a two bed flat by myself and shower at work half the time due to cycling in I suspect it should work out better for me.
