      Nice work with the spider. But what I don't get is just flushing the paint residue blocking the drain through the pipes instead of taking it out and getting rid of it the proper way. The resident of this dwelling should be fined for disposing of paint through the sewer. Or is that OK in the UK?

    mm paint down the drains :)
    I was getting water ingress under the house when the toilet was flushed. The pipes wouldn't rod for some reason... When I started breaking up the concrete to investigate the issue the whole slab fell into the void. Then I heard the wife in the bathroom, that was a less than optimal start to the day.
    The drain below the stink pipe had leaked then washed the clay out underneath it, so the pipe started to collapse into the void... The owner before me tried to fix the issue by lifting out the stink pipe and pouring what I can only describe as runny brilliant white artex slowly down the hole, so when I dug up the whole mess the pipes were half full of hard white paint stuff and the waste was overflowing back into the drains from an impromptu septic tank....
