Blocked drain

[mrsmac]

I arrived home from driving the kids to school this morning to find my kitchen sink blocked up cause DD2 poured the fat from the sausages last night down the drain and it has set. (I didn;t know she had done this as she proudly cooked all by herself!! I did wonder this morning where the fat had gone, now I know)
Anyway I poured some bi carb and vinegar down there with a bit of boiling water but no luck, what do I do???????????????

Don't have one, may have to go to Bunnings !!

Whatever you do don't pour Drano or any of those products that supposedly are supposed to undrain blocked pipes as we found out first hand the plumber told us they actually set the blockage like concrete in the pipes. Hope you get it unblocked. All the best.

did you pour the bicarb down, wait 20minutes, then vinegar and wait another 20minutes and then flush it with boiling water???

God love her.

I would try some dishwashing liquid followed with about a cup of boiling water, leave it for a minute then the rest of the kettle down after it. Try to pour it straight down the drain hole from a distance above the sink (make sure you don't burn yourself)- the force of the water is sometimes enough to push it through.
