Gibbs to the rescue

Had a plumbing problem at Gibbs Central. Had some waterproofing work done a few years back. There was a torrential rain storm a couple weeks ago, lucky us. What had been dry for all these years is now wet. Call the shop that did the work.

The shop owner shows up today with a plumbing crew. He wants to snake out the drain to the sump pump. Sounds like a plan. Plumbing crew brings in the snake machine. They are fighting to get the couplings together to run the snake.

Hold the phone. Break out a can of Gibbs and tell they to give the coupling a shot. Doesn't take much. The couplings slide together without a fight. They snake the blockage. The couplings come apart without a fight. The crew left with a case of Gibbs to take back to the shop and put on their service trucks. Gibbs came through again.
