Managed to knacker my back again :'( ::)
Had to unblock a drain at home which involved opening the manhole cover. Normally OK but this one was 2"+ of concrete and although I thought I was being careful and sensible it appears not :'( :'(
Hope it improves overnight

Easy to do. Think you've sussed how far to push it, then wallop :-\
-
Didn't help that after I felt it go I still had to rummage around down the drain, get it cleared and flowing and then get the cover slid back into place ::)
Walking like I've crapped myself again now ::)

Not sure what it's like round your way, but we found out recently if a drain blocks, ring Thames water, and they just come and sort it. No charge.
Depends on your particular water authority I guess, but worth a call...?

Private land, the whole estate ;) Although Anglian Water have just adopted the sewers :-\
Mind you... Sunday morning and completely blocked with SWMBO hair and grease/fat from kitchen/dishwasher etc ::)
Just had to get on with it ;)
Mind you... We've lived here 7 years (to the day) and that's the first time they've blocked completely, although it has been warning me for about 15 months ::)
