What about this for a beauty
This fella found a hole in a manhole in a church in Kilmacud, maybe he was looking for divine inspiration. Well he certainly got noticed cos he kept on digging and pulling soil into the manhole blocking the sewer. If there is a weak spot in a manhole a rat will find it and burrow to his hearts content, so make sure to concrete all those soft cavities in.

Broads trap removal
A broads trap or bucan trap is quite common in local authority housing throughout the city. The idea behind them is to stop the foul odour from the main sewer coming back through the pipework by providing a water barrier similar to how a toilet operates....

MONSTER FATBERGS ATTACK BRITISH AND IRISH SEWERS
Well not quite (poetic licence and all that), but a 64 meter long equivalent to 6 double decker buses amalgamation of fats and wet wipes has been found in a sewer in Sidmouth, England.
Fatbergs form when people put cooking oils and fats, nappies, wet wipes and sanitary products down the toilet. This fat berg is the largest discovered by the local council who estimate it will take 8 weeks to dissect this monster.
If you keep 1 new year resolution let it be not to pour fats, oil or grease down the drain or flush wet wipes down the toilet. The consequences can be significant including sewer flooding in you own home.
"Put your wipes on a diet and don’t feed the fat berg".
In 2017 a 250 meter long fatberg was found in sewers in East London, a chunk of that blockage later went on display at the museum of London.

Rats, rats and more rats
A plumbing contractor we know was called to a blocked sink in Cabinteely but when he opened the manhole out the back he thought to himself "this is a job for the big boys , I'm calling Ajax Drains and Plumbing".
A large build-up of soil or debris in a manhole is a sure sign of rodents burrowing out from the sewers/manholes.This manhole was badly formed with no concrete placed around the incoming pipes making it easy for the rodents to dig their way out as can be clearly seen from the rat-holes around the manhole. So after Dara dug out the clay, jetted out the lines/pipes and concreted in the pipes/rat-holes its a brand new manhole and its bye bye rats.

The things we do for a living
The tenant upstairs in this property in North Strand was oblivious to the fact that every time they flushed their loo it was dissappearing from their view but was re-surfacing up through the toilet downstairs. Alas the unit downstairs was un-occupied for a considerable period so nobody noticed events that were unfolding. The main sewer outlet was blocked so the waste had nowhere to go and found the easiest path....Read Full Article
