Hi,
My sister and I own a house which we rent out, the letting agents called in a plumber to get the kitchen sink unblocked. He apparently used industrial strength drain unblocker. At the time there was a small leak which was fixed a short while later by another plumber. But there is damage to the kitchen unit. The letting agent says its water damage but we think the damage is due to the chemical used. So my question is in two parts. 1) Should industrial strength drain unblocker be used in a kitchen sink and 2) is the damage caused by the chemicals or only water damage as the letting agent has suggested. Photo attached of the damage.
Thanks for any advise on this as both my sister and I have no experience in plumbing an we are not sure if we are being mugged off.
