    Another case of people putting plastic or wipes or trash or grease in the drain. No wonder there is trouble. Build your own drain blockage is a new hobby the world over. Good work finding and clearing the issues.

      יש דרך נכון לעשות מפל (שינוי גובהה של הצינור) ומה שעשו הוא באמת השיטה הנפוצה ביותר. אבל הוא לא השיטה הנכונה. אם מסתכלים בהל"ת אתה בכלל לא תראה אופציה כזאת. מה שקורה לפעמים, אם יש שיפוע חזק לקראת המפל או זרימה מהירה, במקום שכל המי ביוב יזרמו למטה דרך הטע, הניירות מדלגים מעל הטע (כמעט) ונתקעים. איפה נתקעים ניסיתי להסביר אבל עדיף בסרטון זה יהיה יותר ברור

I know you've probably developed a great immunity to the many different levels of 'gross' that its on. Ultimately, it may turn a customer off and you may loose business. Use gloves.
