Clogged drains & other water-related problems symbolism ?

[Tomek]

Hello,

For the 4th time in four year, I'm confronted to serious plumbing issues at home. The last three time were annoying but manageable, but here it will require heavy housework. Each time, it's a problem with wastewater, not evacuating properly... I begin to see a pattern here, maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something.

Do you have suggestions ?

I don't have a suggestion but... I had the same type of problem some years ago in a home that we rented and finally it was time to leave the house and change of the environment. When I had this problem I saw also a message from the universe. But it was not my house, so I was able to left. And the problem was a big help to take the decision.

It happened to us as well but I think it had to do with the amount of fat we are using for cooking that speed up that clogging thing which never happened before.
I had to use a "furet" (Some kind of coil that you twist and turn into the pipes) and a plunger to unclog the pipes.
This said I also wondered if this wasn't some kind of message that something needed to be taken care of, some blocking on an unconscious level that needed to be addressed.

You should eat the fat not flush it down the drains ;)
Fat is death for the pipes(clogs in no time!). Wipe off with tissue first before washing (if you can't consume it).

That's my thought too, hence the problem with the "unconscious level" thing... As I percieve this, I'm doing something in my life that blocks "something" to flow : energies, information, I don't know...

Yes of course ;)
That's what I do, I guess it still builds up after a while though so I am trying to scrub as much as possible now.

Your house is due for a serious "pipehaul", that's at least what the pipes seems to be telling, question is;
- is it Your house?
- is it an apartment?
- do You rent?

Once in a while I`ll have a sluggish drain and I`v learned as soon as that starts to happen I heat up some white vinegar to boiling and pour it down the drain. Works like a charm if you catch it before it gets too bad. ;D

It's the 4th problem, but the source of the problem is different each time (long story). It's an apartment, and I rent it. My older sister is my landlady.

I'm thinking along those lines as well. Water usually represents emotions, so perhaps there's some anger or sadness/disappointment that requires that you acknowledge it and take care of it. What's your relationship with your older sister like?

IMO If it's a long story and complicated(house?) why not move? Especially if You rent. Is the rent cheap?.

Well, we have good relations. I can't think of any issue with her.

I'm thinking of leaving this place for a long time now, but finding an apartment in Paris is extremely difficult. And I wish I could leave Paris for good, this place is plain toxic. I'm looking for job opportunities elsewhere in France, with no success for the moment. So, as long as I work here, I'm not leaving this apartment. Believe me, finding a place to live here is a truly excruciating process !

I second that emotion mention. I had similar problems with the plumbing, but with leaking, rather than clogged pipes. I went outside often over the course of a few weeks and put a lot of physical expression into my emotions, letting them 'flow out' rather than 'drip'. It was a useful exercise and, in combination with a good plumber, the pipes quit leaking and I felt much more open and clear with myself and others, emotionally. In your case, the issue is with blockages.

I've been holding the following words in my heart recently, maybe they will help. But a good plumber is important too!

[quote author=the wave chapter 72]

[C's:22-10-94] "... Obsession is not knowledge, obsession is stagnation. So, when one becomes obsessed, one actually closes off the absorption and the growth and the progress of soul development which comes with the gaining of true knowledge. For when one becomes obsessed one deteriorates the protection therefore one is open to problems, to tragedies, to all sorts of difficulties. Therefore one experiences same."

Taking this key literally, if a person has problems or feels attacked or is suffering in any way, they have only to search their own mind to discover that they are holding on to a belief or an assumption that is an obsession. I have found this to be true in my own life, as well as the lives of others. If there are problems, illness, difficulties of all kinds, then one is obsessed in some way with a false belief. No exceptions.[/quote]

Plumbings are nothing Polonel could/should do anything about(apart from keeping the landlord informed) since it isn't his apartment...

As far as some personnel symbolism goes doubt it! But it could very well be someone else's problem manifesting in your world?!?
I'm a Plumber and when it comes to apartments it gets... Interesting
You have to consider what floor you're on ( could be blocked below you or before those below you at the point of connection to the main! very messy so would be apparent!) and also what section in the apartment is blocked, is it the kitchen, powder room or toilet?
The age of the building is also something to consider, as more often than not it is usually an indicator of the materials used (PVC, galvanised steel, Brass etc)! Which can indicate problems in itself eg; steel corrodes and it chokes itself.
You will always be better off getting a pro in to do the job and if it is an ongoing problem (especially if the toilet is overflowing) I suggest getting a camera put down the drain to find the root of the problem, no pun intended!! ;)
Hope this helps
