Even the most experienced emergency plumber professional in Melbourne is still surprised at some of the things that they find in household plumbing systems. It is not known why so many people seem to view their toilet as a trash can. Instead of simply walking ot the bin under the sink or the outdoor garbage bin, many people think it is just easier to flush something away in their bathroom. Perhaps it is that they want to get rid of something secretly. Unfortunately for them, the toilet plan of attack is ill thought out, as more often than not the foreign object will cause a blockage, which will need to be fixed by a plumber. Your secret flushing will be secret no longer. As such, plumbers are privy to some hilarious finds, and some that are just plain bizarre. Cigarettes that people think they are secretly disposing of is a common culprit. The dead goldfish is another popular find, although these little guys rarely cause much of a problem.
In Japan in 2009, tens of thousands worth of glimmering gold was pulled from a sewer system. This even occurred during a bad recession, and so it is unknown whether the goods were stolen and therefore carried some sort of burden on the previous owner, or whether they thought that flushing such a bounty would be a way of storing it safely. Other items are more accidental, such as iPhones, keys and even underwear have been reported. Jewellery can also be a particularly expensive loss. A word to the wise: empty your pockets before entering the bathroom! Or if something does fall, don't flush the toilet. This will compound your predicament, with a damaged item and a blocked toilet.
The toilet isn't the only entrance point, and sometimes things just find their way into pipes from an outdoor drain or pipe outlet. This means that plumbers called to a house can sometimes get a bit of a shock when they are greeted with a pair of eyes. A moist pipe outlet would look like the perfect nesting place or burrow for a number of animals, which is why pipes become a not so rare place to find animals, both living and those who have gotten stuck and died. In Scotland, a live badger was found struggling inside a pipe. They thought the job was just a routine drain cleaning, but instead they made a new friend. He was able to be rescued, unharmed. In some cases, the toilet is actually the exit point. It is the stuff of nightmares, but snakes have been known to survive in the pipes and surface in domestic toilet bowls. This is not just urban legend. Everything from rattle snakes to seven foot boa constrictors have been encountered in the bathroom. It is enough to make you double check under the rim for the rest of your life. While boas might give you a nasty shock, they are not immediately dangerous if you slam the lid quickly, as they squeeze their prey. The rattle snake and other venimous varieties are the ones to look out for and worry about, especially as they are likely to be just as shocked as you and would understandably get a bit defensive.
Perhaps the most impressive find was in Laberta, Canada. A storm sewer which was encountered during construction for a housing development was the resting place of a dinosaur fossil. Experts believe that the find belonged to a Hypacrosaurus. There is no doubt that the life of an elite emergency plumber specialist in Melbourne, Roof Leaks Melbourne can be an exciting and strange one, and for all of your problems you can call Chadoak or visit http://chadoak.com.au.
