    What should I do about a blocked sink drainpipe?

    Hi all Today I had a blockage in my sink’s drain pipe – I decided to unblock it using some drain unblocker liquid, thinking the block may just be some leftovers that had gotten stuck somehow. Unfortunately, this hasn’t helped and now I have a blocked drain pipe with unblocking liquid in there too. Is there any way I could try and fix this myself or would I be best to ask a plumber to take a look?

    Surface Water Issue

    Since my neighbour had artificial grass installed I seem to be getting damp patches on my property which are now showing on the external wall, and some puddles at the boundary between our gardens. I've been in the house for seventeen years, the artificial grass was installed two years ago and the problems started showing at the turn of this year. The buildings are on a slope with our house lower than next door. I don't think there was any drainage installed with the artificial grass and I think we're getting much more run off than previously. At the front of the house I dug down to the water in / out and there was no sign of leakage. The damps is at both front and back, as is the artificial turf. I'm trying to find out which trade would be able to diagnose this so I can employ someone to investigate and provide professional advice on what's causing the damp areas / puddles.
