Hi all!
I have a *vintage* kitchen drain thats clogged. I know exactly where the clog is and I also know that the main riser needs replacing, but I cant quite afford that now so I want to try snaking it.
the problem is I can't get at the clog through the p-trap because it is a few inches below the T in the riser. I'm surprised to find that it just an ordinary T rather than a san Tee or wye but oh well.
Any tips or tricks? I'm willing to try chemicals too. What I'm finding as a clog is thick black grease, a combo of rotting cast iron and soap and such. But I'm afraid to go with anything too aggressive for fear of eating through the CI.
thanks for any advice!
