Just washed my hands at the bathroom sink. The water would not drain off. Just tried the bath, the water would not drain off. The common drain point is the hopper and as I have left my steps at work and I cannot get up there for a look. It's not that cold is it?
If one of the taps was dripping for an extended period the external hopper could well block with ice. Bob
Thinks ARW deep in thought - how can I blame the f***ing apprentice for that one?
Just wash your hands of the whole thing then.
2 + 2 = frozen up. HTH (Happy to help).
yes. It is
Bastard plastic bag blocking the hopper. Just borrowed some steps from the neighbours.
The apprentice must know where you live...
Had he learnt anything then he would know that you should use expanding foam.
How does that stop the pipes draining into the hopper and the hopper then overflowing?
could be, its been that cold here, but It kept running slowly then suddenly cleared.

Keeps the hopper full overnight so it can freeze and then that blocks the pipe? (Assuming the ends of the pipes are below the top of the hopper - if they end above it, I can't see how it would (not) work either.)
Just had a blocked bathroom sink. Bath draining all right, hopper clear. I had forgotton that (for some strange reason) the sink outlet pipe goes all the way down to the drain where the hopper's pipe empties. Think one of the kids left a tap slightly on last night. Ran hot water down the bath and it got warm enough to clear it without getting hands dirty!
