    I worked cleaning sewer lines off and on during my 7 year employment with the owner of a plumbing Co. I was mostly a home remodeler though. But...

    I was with the owner one day when he was called to check out an apartment complexes' sewer line that was backing up sometimes.

    We popped open a manhole cover and there it was...

    The BIGGEST grease/fat build-up we've ever seen. Not anything like that London build-up but there was A LOT down in that cavity below the manhole. So much that my boss said it was too much for him to want to mess with. He told the complex manager to call the County...LOL.
    And my boss NEVER turned down a job, except that one. :s:D

    Grease traps probably smell just as bad as a rotting corpse. I've never smelled a rotting corpse but I hear it's something you'll never forget. Well, a stirred up grease trap is about as bad as a skunks' spray. Instantly repulsive!!

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    This reminds me of a similar problem that frequently occurs at college dormitories.

    I feel ill now. :s
