Post by: Nick on October 09, 2010, 08:33:17 PM
Say you were having a shower and instead of running away the water got higher and higher and flooded the bathroom, hypothetically like, what is that chemical you can bung down the drain to stop it happening again, like?

Spirits of Salts - try your local hardware store.

Sulphuric acid (98% like), you get it here for about a tenner a gallon.
