You Just Never Know When A Geyser Of Mystery Gunk Is Going To Blast Out Of Your Kitchen Sink

As the days get warmer, more adults finish their second vaccine dose, and a Dippin ‘Dots finally opens in the Flatiron District, you will be forgiven that the Roarin’ 20s were officially underway.

But for a Queens woman, the only thing that roared Monday night was the mud well that erupted in her kitchen.

“I was sitting at our kitchen table working on my laptop. I heard our sink gurgling and looked over in time to see a black geyser shoot from the sink onto the ceiling and everything,” said Angela Wang, a resident of Ridgewood.

“It happened so quickly that I couldn’t react to it – but then it happened twice more,” she said. “The entire kitchen was covered in this rotten black mud.”

Wang said that according to her landlord, a plumber had come to clear a building pipe, but instead of pushing the clog out onto the street, he used compressed air and accidentally pushed the clog back into the building, causing the sinks to break out in several units.

“It was like the exorcist, it was crazy,” said Wang. “And I knew it wasn’t just us because before it even happened I heard our neighbors screaming upstairs.”

I thought I had seen it all in NYC after almost a decade, but rotten black mud splashing from the sink (in almost every corner of the kitchen) is really a first !! 🙂🙂🙂 pic.twitter.com/DaT5J5VzYO

Joe Lore, her landlord, stated, “I called one of these services to clean the drain because Angela complained that her sink was gurgling.”

“The guy had a hard time getting the snake through,” Lore said. “And then he said he was going to put air in the pipes to clean the pipes and he turned the machine the wrong way, inside the house and not outside the house. With all that air pressure it went through everything the kitchens and the blasted grease all over the counters, ceilings and all over the floors. “

Wang, whose food, equipment, and shoes were soaked in mud, said she had helped her landlord and the plumber clean for four hours, but there was residue left in certain nooks and crannies.

“And the smell stayed,” she said, adding that the smell was reminiscent of mold. “I couldn’t even sleep because the smell only permeated our apartment.”

Lore, who said he had owned the six-unit building for over 20 years, complained that the plumbing company sent someone who wasn’t trained enough to use the equipment. He added that he is asking for receipts from tenants whose kitchens have been dirty for planning to take the plumbing company to small claims court to cover the damage.

At the time of publication, a representative of the plumbing company did not agree to a statement.

For Wang, who appeared to be in a good mood in her kitchen despite the insomnia being taken over by a good mood in her kitchen, the ordeal was both a novelty and a matter of course.

“I’ve lived in so many shitty apartments in New York City,” she said. “In my last apartment all the ceilings collapsed at one point. I feel used to it.”
