Hydro jet for clearing kitchen line

Higgs Boson · 2013-10-09T17:27:54+00:00

I have been in plumbing hell for the last few months. One damn me$$ after another. Now I ask your input on some procedure quoted to me by Plumber A as "Hydrojet". Supposed to clean around the interior pipe rather than snake a hole though it (my unscientific interpretation!). Just checked with Plumber B who snaked my line in *Feb*. Clogged up in *Ju ly*. Plumber B snaked it again. Two days later, had major work in bathroom done by Plumber A. Kitchen clog ged up again *5 days later.* I was afraid something got stuck in there fro m bathroom work by Plumber B. I've been letting kitchen water run into dri veway; afraid to investigate whose "fault" it is if anyone, and how to fix problem. Called Plumber A. They said no chance anything stuck in line; they do not converge. Recommended Hydrojet. They haven't followed through as promised . End of THEM! Called Plumber B (snaker). He said in 25 years he had rarelu of ever used Hydrojet. He is coming over to see. Says sometimes 2 snakings needed. If a kitchen snake job can seize up IN A FEW DAYS doesn't that mean somethi ng is radically wrong? Esp. if it was snaked in Feb, then again in July? Normally over [censored] years, I've only had to have it snaked every few Y EARS! Who is scamming me, if anybody? Does anyone agree with Plumber B (snaker) that Hydrojet is not often needed ? Sorry for the length, but I have family coming in 2 days and I don't want t hem to see mess in driveway. Any input welcome. HB

No. I'll sit in Drano for months with little or no damage.

I have no idea but it *WASN'T* Drano. Maybe they used some sort of acid but if so, mom's pan was the least of the problems.

How do you know HB is a female? What have I missed?

HB is an old bag. Female? Well...

You missed the logic used by some posters when they do not agree with the other person.

Or when they are simply badly brought up, ill-mannered, and patently insecure.

Yep. HB admitted to being an old bag.

It really is pretty funny, though.
