Can't unblock outside drain.

dave13 · 2011-04-03 16:35:38

Hi Drain where all the water from my kitchen goes is blocked and I can't clear. So far I have used a sulphuric acid solution which made no impact and I have also cleaned out the gully(took out a lot of crap). but it has made no difference, drain still blocked and water pooling around it. Any ideas on the next step?

Not an expert, but have you tried rodding it to break down the blockage?
