A misplaced toy digger

Mum, have you seen my toy digger?

That was the question posed to the boys Mum but despite searching high and low, the toy digger was not found.  Where did you last see it was the next question – I was playing with it in the garden.   So the search continued in the garden.  But again, it couldn’t be found.

The mysterious case of the missing digger was not solved and the family moved on.  But then a couple of days later, the thunder and heavy rain hit Glasgow and all of a sudden, the garden was flooded and the water was not draining away.

The drain had blocked.  And to make matters worse, the kitchen sink drain was now not draining away.  The home owner had a blocked garden drain AND a blocked kitchen drain.

This was the time to call in the professional blocked drain company.

Enter JSL Drainage.  We arrived at the time slot agreed upon and began inspecting the issue.

It didn’t take long before we identified the problem and the mystery of the missing digger was solved.

It turned out that the young boy, while playing in the back garden of the West End of Glasgow homes garden during the heat wave had ‘parked’ the digger in an imaginary construction pipe which we as adults know as the drain pipe.  It managed to fall down the pipe and partially drain away in the main drainage pipe for the home.  It was at this point that it got stuff and began collecting other obstacles so that when the heavy rain hit, the drain was well and truly blocked.  And because it was the main drain pipe that got blocked, it affected the garden drain and the house drain (which led to the kitchen sink).  So to the boys delight, we had to dig out his digger from the pipe because blasting it would not have worked.

It was a happy ending in a way.  We unblocked the drain and the boy got his favourite digger back.  Which he could park next to the new replacement digger toy that his Mum had bought him after not being able to find the first one.

So if you have a blocked drain because your child have put their favourite toy down the drain pipe, call in Glasgow’s drainage company with the 5 star reviews and customer service – JSL Drainage.
