also feel free to request for any outer banks characters i write for

turn on notifs here - @slvt4fakerealities-library - to be notified when i post a new fic

join taglist (add yourself to the outer banks section)

the lights were blazing, different colors zapping throughout the room as you made your way over to the couch. your head was slightly fuzzy from the intoxication, but you managed.

since the couch was empty, you took the chance to sprawl your whole body out on it, head on one arm and feet dangling off the other. you watched as everyone danced and made out and filled their bodies with even more toxins. soon, you found yourself just dazing up at the ceiling, lips opening and closing slightly as you lip-synced in a whispering tone to the loud music.

after what felt like hours, but could’ve only been a few minutes, you felt something nudge your thigh. without moving your neck, you let your eyes flash down to find the source of the movement.

hovering over you was rafe cameron. his dirty blonde hair framed his face messily, a single cross earring dangling from his left ear, a red solo cup in his hand as his free hand poked at your thigh.

“what?” you slurred, now moving up on your elbows and blinking back the haziness.

“i wanna sit,” he said, taking a sip from the cup. even in this state it wasn’t hard to notice how good the boy looked, tilting his head back and gulping down the liquid, eyes never leaving your own.

you groaned, pulling your knees to your chest and allowing rafe to throw himself onto the cushion. you were now facing his side, as his hands gripped your legs and pulled them back to their original position, except now they laid over his leg. giving him a curious look, you laid the side of your face on the back cushion and fidgeted with the bracelet around your wrist.

“shouldn’t you be like- getting shit faced or something.” rafe snickered at your words, sending you a glare before looking back down to his cup, which he was also mindlessly playing with.

“sorry, did i interrupt your little..nap?” he teased with a hint of amusement, referring to the previous state you were in, and you scoffed in return, mind clearing a bit more and making room for annoyance.

“whatever.” and then, you were pulling your legs off him and standing up, albeit wobbly as you almost fell to the side, caught by rafe’s firm grip around your arm.

“you good?”

“‘m fine,” you dismissed the boy, confused as to why he was even talking to you in the first place.

the truth was, you never liked him, he was rude and careless and selfish and way too much to put up with. but you couldn’t deny the attraction you felt towards the boy, and the tension that was always evident when the two of you were together.

but you always just pushed those thoughts aside, because even the thought of anything happening made your mind whirl with a plethora of emotions, not good ones by any means.

but then, you also couldn’t deny the recurring fantasies of things that could happen. could but wont, because he’s rafe cameron, and not even you’re desperate enough to be one of his bitches.

“hey?” a light tug of your arm pulled you back to the present, and you turned to see rafe at your side, cup forgotten as one of his hands molded around your waist and the other wrapped around your bicep to steady you.

“i’m really fine-.” you pulled away from him, and right as you did so, you felt someone back up on you, pushing you towards rafe and into his chest as a cold liquid spread from the lower half of your head and down your back.

you gasped in surprise, suddenly awake and alert as you sharply turned to see a boy standing there, cup tilted and empty as all its contents spilt on your back. he mumbled a quick apology, then took off laughing with his friends about something they said that probably wasn’t even funny.

“you sure about that?” rafe inquired, eyebrow raised in amusement as you stepped away from him, this time more cautiously. “c’mon, we’ll clean you up.”

although you wanted to say no and tell him to fuck off because you could handle it yourself, you were too exhausted from the long night to put up much protest other than a dramatic groan. then, you nodded, and rafe led you away from the crowd of people with a tug of your wrist.

—//—

now, you found yourself in a bedroom, rafes bedroom, waiting expectantly as you stood in front of the boy.

“what now?” you ask, palming your eyes and yawning, looking back at rafe with glossy eyes now, which were sending waves of tingles through the boys stomach.

“take a shower,” he implied, as if it was obvious. you scrunched your brows as he pointed to the bathroom on the other side of the room.

“i don’t have any spare clothes.”

“i’ll find you something to wear,” rafe shrugged, “go on,” he urged you to the bathroom, and you followed obediently, not having it in you to put up any sort of fight or ask questions.

“i’ll be right back,” rafe said from the room as you closed the bathroom door, only to hear the door to the bedroom close as well, meaning rafe left.

your mind was filled with the thought that he just ditched you, which was a possibility, but you ignored that thought and slipped your shirt over your head. once all the articles of clothing were thrown onto the cold tile floor, along with your shoes which sat messily in the corner, you lift a foot into the tub, stepping in.

immediately, you played with the oddly fancy knobs and managed to turn them on, warm water rushing through the shower head as your tilted your head back into it. the odd colored drink washed away from your hair, falling onto the floor of the tub and down the drain smoothly. you searched for soap, quickly cleaning up and scrubbing your hair twice for good measure. the smell of the soap reminded you of rafe, not surprising considering it was literally his own soap, you told yourself, annoyed by your current thoughts.

the feeling of the slightly cold water hitting your skin was enough to wake you up fully, but you were too lost in the blissful feeling of the water to pay much attention to your surroundings.

that was until you heard the door to the bathroom open, and you peaked your head through the curtain to find rafe, setting a towel on the counter, along with a shirt and a pair of shorts.

“who’s are those?” you questioned, making rafe jump as he realized you were watching him.

“sarah, i just took some from her,” he shrugged, and now you were even more confused.

first, he started talking to you randomly. then he’s helping you stand. then he’s taking you to his room..so you can shower. then he’s getting clothes for you to wear? how much did you have to drink? you started to ask yourself, questioning if this was all you just being wasted.

but it wasn’t, you felt pretty much fine. so there had to be something you were missing.

“just hurry up and change, i’ll be in the other room.” without another glance towards you, rafe left the bathroom, leaving you standing there, wet hair dripping forward from the way you had tilted your head to peek through. you went back to getting the soap out of your hair, rushing a bit more now.

meanwhile, rafe was in his room, just outside the bathroom, sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. what the fuck am i doing? was his only thought.

he was honestly just confused as you were. it started when he saw you laying on the couch, mouth agape as your eyes sketched shapes on the ceiling. you just being there was tempting enough, but after that he just had to make his way over to you.

the two of you hadn’t had many conversations in the past, at least no genuine ones. most were just bickering, to be honest. but, just as you thought, the tension was undeniable. the feelings weren’t one sided, that was for sure.

when he caught you from falling over, you had leaned into his warmth and something almost turned in his stomach, which was quite nauseating on his side. it was annoying how fucking worked up he got around you. his mind would spin with options of what to do with you. did he want to just kiss you, fuck you or annoy you to death? he had no idea, but it was overwhelming, to say the least.

so when he invited you to his room to clean up, he wasn’t really thinking about it, because everything was happening at once. he even searched his sisters room for goddamn clothes for you.

interrupting his inner monologue, a door opened and out came your figure, except you weren’t wearing the clothes he had given you. no, you were just in your towel, actually. your skin looked slightly damp still, but your hair had been fluffed out and dried a bit from the towel.

“what are you- where are the clothes i gave you?” rafe asked, standing hesitatingly.

“dunno, wasn’t my style i guess,” you shrugged, looking around his room casually, taking in the very rafe feel it gave.

rafe just scoffed, messing his hair up and stepping closer. “well, you can’t really go out in a towel now, can you?”

this reminded you that there was still a party going on, although it was muffled and a bit quieter as people began to call it a night.

“then i won’t go out.” you stepped closer, looking up at rafe with an expression of uncertainty, trying to identify the look behind his eyes, figure out what the fuck he was up to. but you saw nothing. if anything, there were just a bit of nervousness hidden there.

“and what exactly do you plan on doing, then? since your obviously so wise.” now his guarded demeanor was back up, though he had taken a step closer so your heavy breaths were hitting each other perfectly, hands close to grazing one another’s.

“i don’t know.” then, another reminder flashed in your mind, and you looked back at rafe, “wait, why are you even here? isn’t this like- your party?”

“well, technically topper wanted a party, i wanted to go to bed and sleep for a year.” you chucked at this, figuring he had already gotten fucked up today and didn’t feel like another party. then, taking a risk, you leaned in just a bit, and rafe didn’t pull back. actually, he pushed forward, bringing his large hands to wheel around your waist, setting fire through your veins.

it was as if both of you snapped at the same time, first eyeing each others lips, then pushing forward and taking said lips between your own. the kiss was hungry and long waited, immense relief flushing through you, which took you both by surprise.

not even a few minutes of this passed by before rafe was tugging at the towel, still clinging around your naked body, droplets of water probably wetting his floor.

before letting the fabric reveal your body, rafe looked at you, pulling away for a moment and looking over your features, silently asking permission. a quick nod was all it took for the material to be ripped off and throw to the side, rafe spinning you both around until the backs of your knees hit the bed and you fell back onto the mattress.

rafe looked over you with a smirk, eyes skimming over each and every detail of your body as if savoring it. a lick of his lips was all it took for your thighs to rub together, anticipation becoming too much as you waited for him.

this obviously pissed him off, because now his hands were tearing your legs apart, exposing your bare cunt inch by inch. “don’t even try to cover this up, got it?”

his voice was demanding, and luring, enough to make you nod, eyes softening in obedience, resulting in a snicker from rafe.

he leaned back in, delving down to leave kisses along your collar bone and suck on the flesh until bruises built against your skin, making you whimper and grab his dirty blond tressed with your fingers.

the sound of your whimpers made rafe go crazy, but he tamed the need inside him long enough to work his way down your stomach, placing teasing kisses down your inner thighs, but not once touching the spot you needed the most attention in.

“please, rafe,” you pleaded, not sure where it came from but gong with it once you saw the way he looked up at you, lust blown eyes and parted lips, waiting to be against your cunt.

“please what, hm? tell me what you want me to do, baby,” rafe cooed, fingers clenching around the inside of your thighs so he could push them apart and kiss your inner thighs, resulting in your back arching and hips begging upwards.

“n-need your mouth.” your face blushed with embarrassment of having to speak the words, but rafe just tsked, one hand moving upwards as he used his thumb to draw circles around your cunt, only passing your folds, earning a cry from you.

“i need more than that, doll.”

“fuck! please, j-just need your mouth on me, rafe, need to feel your mouth on my pussy, please!”

it seems that was acceptable for rafe, his thumb pausing just above your clit, then dragging down, finally grazing over the sensitive bud and stimulating it perfectly. your hips jerked at the sensation, but you grew accustomed to the feeling once he began working in small circles.

soon, his mouth was on your cunt, tracing paths over your folds and rubbing at the nub with a flat tongue, constantly sending shivers through you as you moaned with pleasure. his hands stayed at your side, ring clad finger’s cold against your flesh as his tongue dug inside you and began fucking your hole with no remorse.

the shapes and letters his warm tongue carved into you were almost too much, and when you reached down to rake your fingers through his hair, you fought the urge to push his head down and allow him to bury himself completely between your thighs.

“f-fuck! rafe, oh god, feels so good,” you sobbed, voice becoming louder as he hummed into you, a smirk on his lips, no doubt, from seeing you fall apart for him.

rafe pulled away within a second, licking his lip and keeping his eyes on your cunt, calculating his next move. you watched as he did so, suddenly feeling exposed as he raked his eyes over the slick coating your folds and your clit throbbing painfully through them. you squirmed at the emptiness, about to squeeze your thighs together, but you were too late as rafe brought a hand up, middle and forefinger pushing through your folds and embedding themselves within your walls.

a loud gasp escaped your lips as he did so, and you bit down painfully on the cushion of them as his fingers pumped in and out of you with nonstop speed. rafe looked up at you, his own lips parted beautifully as he watched moans flow easily out of your mouth.

“you like that, baby?” came his husky voice, only intensifying your already great pleasure that ran through your body. you nodded at his inquiry, not able to form coherent thoughts under his gaze. and that was when his fingers made a hook and pressed against your most sensitive part, making you squirm.

his smirk became bigger, and his fingers fucked you harder, a desperate attempt to ruin you right there. then he was leaning down, still pumping his fingers, and began to lick your clit with fervor, flicking the bud and sucking without resistance until your thighs were clenching around his head and you were a complete moaning mess.

“oh fuck- i’m g-gonna come rafe, pleaseplease,” you begged pathetically, having no time to be embarrassed as he hummed, nodding his head while still sucking on your clit, and permitted you to let go.

the orgasm took over in a huge wave, which came surprisingly fast, and the only thing on your mind was the bubbling in your stomach that was finally freed. moans and gasps fell from your lips as you wet his tongue and fingers, and rafe didn’t let a drop go to waste as he lapped up your slick, helping to prolong your orgasm.

hands reaching for his hair in dazed motions, eyes closed and lips parted, you mumbled, “t-too much, rafe,” which was the boys que to give you a final kiss on your clit, then remove his head and fingers from your cunt.

now, rafe stared up at you, swiping a ring clad thumb over his bottom lip, which was glistening with your arousal. his thumb then moved to enter your mouth, and you dutifully took in the digit, sucking with starry eyes, and whimpering when he removed it from your grasp.

rafe rose to his full height, still in his shirt and pants, which were no doubt keeping his hard dick from standing tall. suddenly, you felt that flush arise to your cheeks from your being nude, and you bit your lip and reached a hand out to grapple at his shirt. he took this as a sign to pull the material over his head, then going in for his buckle as well. the sound of the metal clinking as he loosened it from its straps was enough to send you into a spiral of anticipation, eyeing his clothed prick impatiently.

rafe had that smirk plastered to his face still, throwing his belt aside and then his pants, making sure not to go too fast as he tormented you.

you let out a whine as he hooked his fingers around his boxers, not pulling them down fully but revealing his v line. “rafe,” you pouted, and he decided to be nice and let them fall down, now unclothed as he kicked off his shoes and settled ontop of you, marking your chest and neck immediately.

sighing with content, you held him close and let his lips suck on your flesh, until the arousal was too much and he began to grind against you, slowly. your cunt was already becoming slick again as he rubbed against your thigh.

rafe lift himself up to his knees, pumping his cock, the point of his tongue poking out from the side of his mouth in concentration. the image of your breasts on display for him, and your lips parted and chest thumping was enough to make the boy cum on the spot.

he raised a brow at you, making sure you were still okay, and once getting a quick nod, he pressed the head of his cock against your folds. in the next second, he was thrusting into you, earning a loud gasp from you, which he covered with a hand on your mouth.

“shh, ‘m gonna fuck you good, okay? just lay there and look pretty,” he teased, but you nodded, wanting nothing more than to do as he said.

the thrusts started out mild, but soon quickened tempo, hips stuttering against yours as he wrapped a hand around your leg and pulled it over his shoulder. this allowed a better angle, and you moaned with him as he repeatedly pounded into your already sensitive cunt.

you slid a hand down your bouncing breasts and stomach, then to your throbbing clit, soothing it with your gentle fingers before rafe slapped them away, as if saying “mine.”

his own hand went around your propped up leg to thumb at your clit, whilst the other made a path over your hips and breasts, fondling with the mound of flesh and pinching your nipple.

the overstimulation was rushing through you violently, his thrusts becoming sloppy, orgasm at the brink. you watched his head fly back, eyes rolling and mouth a gape, hypnotized by how pretty he looked even when he was fucking you.

“rafe,” you repeatedly mumbled, forming no other words in your clouded mind.

“hm? does it feel good? d’you like the way i fuck you, pretty girl?”

“y-yeah, so good,” you hummed, your own head rolling back onto the pillow, hips thrusting up to meet his and satisfy the hunger that once again boiled in your core.

“i’m gonna cum on your tits, are you gonna be good for me?” he said just as your orgasm was about to wash you away, and you nodded fast, once again wanting to be the best you could for him.

then, you came, waves of pleasure splashing through you before he pulled out, still thumbing your sensitive bundle of nerves, using his free hand to fist his cock which hovered over your breasts.

you held your tits in two shaky hands, squeezing them together and massaging them while rafe came, painting your breasts and stomach until he had milked out every last drop he could. he mumbled yes’s and fuck’s, along with your name until his high died down.

breathing harshly, you set ur sight to the ceiling, deep intakes of air causing the ends of rafe’s lips to turn upwards slightly. he leaned down to place one last kiss on your flushed cheek before letting himself fall onto the mattress beside you.

“let’s clean you up,” rafe said, turning to look at you, “the party’s not over yet.”

uhhhh yeah idk how i feel ab this i hope it wasn't terrible ig. reblogs appreciated :)

Common plumbing problems and how to fix them

From washing clothes, showering and using the toilet, to cooking and cleaning, a good water supply is essential to the normal running of our day-to-day lives. Any plumbing problems or interruption to your water supply can cause a major disruption, so you’ll want to get things back up and running as quickly as possible.

Check out our guide to six common plumbing problems – including their causes, advice on how to deal with them (DIY or getting a professional in) and tips on preventing the issue from returning.

1. Blocked drains or sinks

Whether it’s dirty washing up water that won’t drain or you keep finding yourself up to your shins in water every time you shower, sink or drain blockages can be inconvenient and unpleasant to deal with.

What causes a blocked sink?

Sinks and drains usually get blocked when something has gone down the plughole that shouldn’t have. Some of the most common causes of blockages in the kitchen are food and grease, whilst the main culprit in the bathroom is a build-up of hair and soap.

How to clear or open a blocked sink – DIY fixes

If you have the time and patience, then there are several different DIY methods that you can try before calling out a plumber.

1. Use a plunger

Turn on the taps and fill up the sink or basin until the plughole is covered. Then position your plunger over the plughole, ensuring that there is a good seal, and gently plunge up and down.

2. Try a homemade or shop bought sink unblocker

You can make a DIY sink unblocker using things you’ve likely already got in your cupboard:

Method 1: Run hot water down the drain to soften the blockage. Then, pour some washing up liquid down there, and follow up by flushing it through with hot water.

Method 2: Pour a mug of soda crystals down your sink, then run hot water down the drain.

If the homemade methods don’t work, then try using a shop bought sink unblocker.

3. Remove the U-bend

If your blockage is particularly stubborn and neither of the methods above have worked, then you may need to remove the U-bend to locate the blockage and manually remove it. The U-bend is the first bend in the pipe underneath the sink.

Put a bucket underneath the U-bend to catch anything that comes out.

Unscrew the two plastic fittings where the U-bend joins the bottom of your sink.

Stop unscrewing the fittings once water starts coming out. Let the water drain.

Remove the U-bend completely and pull out the blockage.

Screw the U-bend back in, now it’s clean and clear.

Who can fix a blocked sink or drain?

If all else fails, or you just don’t fancy dealing with the mess and smell that come with unblocking a sink or basin, then call in the experts for a quick and hassle-free fix.

Find a trusted plumber by posting your job on Rated People.

For more helpful ideas and tips, take a look at our beginner’s guide to sink unblocking.

Tips for preventing your sink from getting blocked

Don’t pour grease or oil down the sink.

Clean plugholes regularly to avoid build-up occurring.

Don’t flush baby wipes.

Use a sink strainer to stop debris from getting washed into the drain.

2. Blocked toilet

There’s no denying that a blocked toilet is one of the most unpleasant household problems to deal with. A blockage of any shape or size can cause unpleasant odours and inconvenience for everyone in your home. Plus, a partial blockage will quickly turn into a complete blockage if not dealt with swiftly.

What causes a blocked toilet?

Did you know that wet wipes make up 93% of the matter that block UK sewers, according to The Guardian? Most toilet blockages are caused by people flushing things that they shouldn’t, including cotton wool pads, kitchen roll and sanitary items.

How to unblock a toilet – DIY fixes

Depending how severe your blockage is (and how brave you’re feeling!), you may be able to get rid of the blockage yourself using one of the methods listed below. Before you get started, don’t forget to put on a pair of rubber gloves and put something down to protect the floor around the toilet, in case anything spills.

1. Plunger

Whilst it may be possible to unblock your toilet using a regular plunger, you are more likely to have success using a special toilet plunger. This is because they’re designed to give you a tighter seal, and so have better suction power when plunging.

2. Plumbing snake

Plumbing snakes can be bought from most DIY stores. You should find instruction for use on the packaging, but the idea is that you feed the snake down the toilet until it pierces through the blockage, and when you wind it back up it may bring the blockage up with it as well.

Who can fix a blocked toilet?

If neither of these DIY methods work, then the blockage may be too far down for you to deal with yourself. In this case, it’s best to call in a plumber.

Find an expert plumber by posting your job on Rated People.

Tips for stopping your sink from getting blocked

To avoid blocking your toilet it’s best to abide by the commonly quoted rule of only flushing the three P’s: that’s pee, poo and (toilet) paper!

3. Constantly running toilet

A constantly running toilet is not only annoying to listen to, it can also be an expensive problem, too. For every minute that it’s not fixed, it’s running up your water bill!

What causes a toilet to keep running?

If there’s an irritating trickling sound coming from your toilet, then it’s likely that an internal leak is causing the problem. The leak could be caused by a fault or damage to one of several different internal parts.

How to fix a running toilet – DIY fixes

To fix a running toilet, you need to first locate the source of the leak by removing the lid from the cistern. Here are a few parts that you should examine first:

Water valve – the water valve should be fully on and the water in the cistern should be above the water line. If your water valve has moved out of place, then it may just need adjusting so that it’s fully on again.

Flapper – The flapper should be fully closed. If the flapper is stuck open, then you can simply close it again so that it completely covers the valve.

The float – If water in the cistern is rising too high, then it could be causing an overflow. Try lowering the float in the cistern to lower the water level and see if this stops the running water.

Who can fix a running toilet?

If none of these quick fixes solve the problem, then one of your toilet’s parts may be damaged and need replacing. Call in a plumber to quickly diagnose and fix the problem.

4. Burst pipes and water leaks

Burst or leaking pipes are a plumbing emergency, as they can cause significant damage to your property, furniture and belongings. If you discover a leaky pipe, the first thing you should do to prevent the problem getting worse is to shut off your home’s water supply at the main water valve. Then, pop a bucket underneath the leak to collect the water and turn on your taps to drain the system.

What causes an outdoor leak?

Not all leaks will happen inside the house. You may experience problems with your water supply if a pipe in the ground outside your home springs a leak too. Signs that you may have a leaking underground pipe include:

Dirt or air bubbles in your water.

Cracks in the pavement outside your home.

Sinkholes.

Reduced water pressure.

Why do I have a burst pipe?

There are many different problems that can cause pipes to burst or leak, such as:

Frozen pipes.

Blockages.

Old or damaged pipes.

High water pressure.

Damage to hot water tank.

Faulty home appliances.

How to fix a burst pipe

As well as replacing any damaged pipes and parts of your plumbing, a plumber will need to identify what has caused the problem to prevent it from happening again.

Tips for preventing your pipes from bursting

Insulate water tanks and pipes to protect them from cold weather. Read more tips on how to protect your pipes on our Homeowner Advice Centre.

Fix any dripping pipes immediately, with the help of a plumber.

If you think there’s a blockage in your pipes – get it cleared immediately.

Service your boiler and plumbed home appliances regularly. A gas/heating engineer can complete your annual service.

5. No running water or low water pressure

Waking up to find that you have no running water or very low water pressure isn’t the best start to the day. Before making any calls to a plumber, you should check the taps in different rooms to find out whether your home’s whole water supply is affected or not.

Why is my water not running?

The three most common causes of water not running in your home are:

The stop valve is switched off. The first thing to check is whether your property’s stop valve is on or off. If the stop valve has accidentally been knocked, then you may have unwittingly switched off your own water supply.

There’s a problem with water in your area. If your stop valve is open and your water should be switched on, then there could be a problem with water in your area. Give your water company a call or check their website to see if they are currently reporting any problems in your area. If the problem lies with your water provider, then it’s out of your hands and all you can do is wait for the issue to be rectified.

Your pipes have frozen. Weather suddenly turned cold? If your pipes aren’t properly insulated, then the water may have frozen inside them. If you suspect frozen pipes, turn your water supply off at the stop tap immediately to prevent them from bursting, before attempting to thaw them out using the method below.

How to fix frozen pipes

If there are no problems with the water supply in your area and you suspect that your pipes may be frozen, then you can try to defrost your pipes (only do this once you’ve turned your stop tap off). It’s important not to apply any direct heat to the pipes or try to defrost them too quickly. Reach for your hairdryer, switch it to a low setting and direct it at your frozen pipes to safely thaw them out.

6. Fluctuating shower temperature

Standing in a shower that’s constantly switching from scalding hot to freezing cold is both uncomfortable and irritating. If your shower fluctuates in temperature, then you may also notice it frequently switching from high pressure to low pressure, too.

Why does my shower keep switching from hot to cold?

When your shower’s valve isn’t balancing water pressure effectively, it can cause your shower temperature to fluctuate. Simply replacing the valve with a pressure balancing valve could solve the problem. If the valve’s not at fault, then it could be a problem with your thermostat or the size of your water heater.

How to fix a shower that keeps switching temperatures

A qualified plumber will be able to identify what’s causing the problem, advise you on any fixes and fit any new parts that are required to get your shower running properly again.

If you’re having problems with your plumbing and can’t fix it yourself with the tips in this blog post, then it’s time to call in a plumber to get things back up and running as quickly as possible.
