Dunbar Plumbing was called out yesterday to a clogged main drain that is connected to a septic tank. This job was located at State Route 16, Taylor Mill Road in Independence Kentucky.

This is the second time this has happened but over the course of 3 years.


I believe the issue was caused by the mentioning that one of the people who lived there dumped a whole gallon of expiring paint down the laundry tub drain.

This along with a possible issue of buildup the last few feet before entering the septic tank.


Both times, from cleanout to septic tank, I've managed to open this drain at 32' each and every time.

The fellow who lived there is 'sort of' mentally distressed. He still works but needs supervision. The family member who heard of him doing this afterwards, she knew it was a clogged drain for sure.

Definitely a "shit happens" scenario.
