I partially improved the water flow with the snake, then he cleaned up the pipes with a professional snake tool connected to a compressor. Secondly, he replaced the pipes under the...

    Pipe connector stuck due to Teflon duct tape

    In the meanwhile I checked what happened there. The good news is my repair is actually working once I plug off the drain pipe from the wall. The bad news is that the problem is now either the strainers or the drain pipe in the wall itself. The last part of the pipe is fine it doesn’t contain or...

    Pipe connector stuck due to Teflon duct tape

    Solved... And now there is another much worse problem hahaha The duct tape was incredibly tight, like cement.

    Pipe connector stuck due to Teflon duct tape

    Thanks and that’s exactly what I did. Since the connectors are not that big I had to use smaller wrenches, 2 of them used as you said. But it didn’t work. I tried with different tools, probably I need a bigger monkey wrench or even better Stillson wrench
