    Stubborn urinal. But success at last!
    Leave workplace clean, good business strategy. We clients appreciate that.

    Urinals are the worst to pull. I recently pulled a waterless urinal! Rough! Glad that you got the sanitary tee cleared out!

    yes yes it is getting hung up on something probably from being throttled down its not flushing with enough water and over time the urine runs down the pipe and hardens up in the line

      Urinals are gross 🤢, the salt and different enzymes that the body releases turns to like cement in them blah. (Shelly)

    Are they saving a few cents on water while costing themselves several dollars to unclog the urinals? Would they be better off setting the valves for more water and making sure they work properly? I've been in restrooms that barely flushed.

      Some can be very hard to clear for sure. I'll never forget when I broke one while tightening the bolts. Luckily it was at the place my uncle works at so I got a pass. Lol (Shelly)

    This is why I always suggest urinals with a removable trap, I think they are called washout urinals.

    How come you all didn’t use acid I’ve been watching a lot of these kind of videos and I’m told that the urine Chris goals create a clog and the acid turns it into like a gel the canopy flush down I’ve seen it working like for videos, so I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t try the acid
