        I have black flies emerging from my bedroom bath sink. They bite but are not very fast. They squish nicely though. Any ideas? Thanks

          I found that they grow in the slime that coats the drain trap. I reamed it with a stiff brush and applied some draino. Seems to have stopped the problem for now.

            They are back and faster than before. I need a bushing tool that can reach into the piping for at least 15 feet and turn 90 degrees. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

              Water Jet ( call a plumber) and CLOROX (Bleach)
              The jetting scrubs the pipes to a like new condition and the Bleach kills most bacteria (smell causing germs) TA DUM
