Blocked Drain - Manly Vale - Northern Beaches

DY Plumbers • August 6, 2020

Ok - this post comes with a gross warning to look away now if you are queasy. Wondering what we have found blocking the pipe? That is a poor dead lorikeet.  :-(

What has happened is the vent cowl that sits on top of the pipe as it sticks through the roof and protects the pipe from animals going down it is missing. This poor lorikeet was obviously looking for a little hollow to nest in and instead has fallen down the pipe that is actually a stack in a unit block. It has not been able to get out so has come to a grim end. 


The moral to this story is to make sure if your vent cowls come off or rust away, that they are replaced.
