Hillside terraces around Chatham put a lot of pressure on shared rear drainage, and fat build-up in older 100mm runs is a constant.
Standing water in the bath cleared at the trap, the branch or the stack — whichever is actually at fault. Whether you are near the Historic Dockyard or elsewhere in the ME4, ME5 area, call for emergency help or a same-day visit from a plumber in Chatham.
