ExiledInIllinois Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Did they say why the company dumped the soap? I didn't catch it. Why waste 40 litres of perfectly good soap? Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So you dump it down the drain into the sewer and it gets out on the street? How's that happen? So, sheet can spill out on the street if to much gets in the sewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, sheet can spill out on the street if to much gets in the sewer? Foamed up out of the sewer. A sewer system has to a vent. They were on the 13th floor... EDIT: To answer your question, yes. It will come out of the lowest areas first to air when backed up. Edited July 2, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) So **** can spill out. Yes, if it backs up enough. Sh*t isn't foam. How much does the foam expand. A lot. Do you have a double kitchen sink? Usually one side will drain to the other basin... Pour a lot of dish soap and water down the one side away from where it drops... Foam will come up the other basin. A drain system is not an sealed system. There has to be a vent to the sewer... IE: stink pipe on the roof. Who knows where the foam was coming out of? A toliet/shower on the ground floor. Maybe even cracks through the man hole? Again, 13th floor and poured it down. It hit air somewhere, mixed with the water caused it to foam. Normal crap and sewage will not block up that bad. Again, how many times the foam expanding and overwhelming the capacity of very large sewer pipes. The employee poured 40, FORTY liters of soap... That is why they banned phosphates in soap many years ago... It gets into the environment. Edited July 3, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Why didn't they just flush it with water (fire hydrant) after opening a big drain... Blast it/dilute it on down. Sidewalk would be real clean!;-) Edited July 2, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just look at dish washing soap as it is mixed with water. It gets foamy and "puffy." No difference from this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
