When you or your downstream neighbours put FAT down the sewer
Emptying fat residues down the sink or toilet is tempting and almost seems sensible when flushed down with hot water but
How long will the water stay hot or the fat stay liquid in the waste pipes?
Actually NOT very long at all!
So then it combines with hair, other paticles and (God-forbid) wipes to make an effective blockage.
It can start slowly but builds until the blockage is complete and the first you know is
raw sewage overflows the manholes
these are REAL images from a recent disater caused by my neighbour's history of fat disposal...
