I tried to empty a blocked holding tank. Had to do it from inside the head as a 90 degree elbow prevented poking anything up from outside. Lost control!! 90 litres of gunge into gleaming white shower base and into bilge underneath. The shower base clearing was bad enough, but how the hell do I get the rest out from under the shower base moulding?? There is a gap of less than an inch at the top, plenty of room for the obnoxious liquids/solids to get down but near impossible to get out. Anybody had experience of this, any solutions?? Alan

You will need lots of water and a wet/dry vacuum

cleaner. Like any other mess there is but one thing to do, clean it up. Turn the water hose on and spray water in and then vacuum it all out repeat until it is clean. When you have been satisfied that no more can be flushed out then with a garden sprayer filled with water and bleach sanitize everything and rince some more.
