The subject of my next rant is Garbage Disposals....
We’ve lived in our current apartment for nine years. For the first five years, we experienced constant backing-up of our kitchen sink. Finally, management hired a real plumber, instead of sending the usual on-site maintenance guys.
The plumber found a sponge-y thing deep in the drain that had been causing all the years of problems. It wasn’t from us - we were very careful about the drain. And we haven’t had any problem now in three or four years, since he fixed it.
I think when people live in apartments, they don’t think about what they flush/push down the drain.
It definitely gave me a new appreciation for knowledgeable plumbers!
Yep, they don't handle wipes and tampons all that well either.
