Living in East London—whether you’re in a converted warehouse in Hackney, a Victorian terrace in Bethnal Green, or a new build in Stratford—comes with a unique set of home quirks. But there is one nightmare we all share: standing in a pool of cold, soapy water because your shower won’t drain.
Try the vinegar trick first. If that fails, admit defeat quickly. The cost of a jet vac is far less than the cost of water damage when that backed-up shower leaks through your neighbour's ceiling in a block of flats.
