Drainage problems...

It’s very hot in Belgium… already a few weeks now. And what is more relaxing in this hot weather then to shower regularly? But what happens if this comfort suddenly is not available anymore? shock-horror! It happened already once a week or so ago, the toilet blocked, the bathtub blocked, water (and not so clean water) everywhere in the bathroom… First tried with one of those chemical plungers, but nothing happened and then the more serious albeit old-fashioned plastic plunger (thnx to an & Mr J who still have one of those) – which I must say made a lot of promising noises but didn’t help a bit...

So finally we called in the rescue team (the landlord and his side-kick). They brought a tube cleaning system under high pressure and cleaned out the tube-system…

all fine you would think, until a week later, all the water that had to leave the house, left again each day a bit more slowly…

So finally our landlord came again, doing his thing, leaving a bathroom full of dirty water and our flat in an odour I wish not to describe… hopefully the last time for a long period now…
