So it's one o'clock in the morning and my boyfriend gets up to go to the bathroom. Then a few minutes later I hear a loud boomand I go running to see what happened. There is a large crack down the side of our ceramic bathroom sink all the way down to the metal piping. My boyfriend is startled and Confused and mumbles something abOut his head hurting so i think one of the chunks shot off and hit his head. There is no way he could have broken the sink accidently by falling asleep or anything. The sink has been making a strange dripping sOund lately and there has been weird sounds in the walls around the bathroom and the toilet has been acting up. What could have made my sink randomly explode?
Not all those who wander are truly lost
ive never heard of anything like that before
Good question okorder. Associates
There was a buildup of methane gas that probably originated in the plumbing under a toilet. What made it ignite is the creepy thing. You need to find out what that was because it has the potential for doing it again! That stuff is held down there by the trap under the sink until it accumulates and is explosive.
So the sink is sitting there minding it's own business and this guy comes into the room half asleep and falls on it. The weight of they guys head landing on it stresses the sink at the plumbing connections and the sink cracks with a bang. The guy goes back to bed feeling a little embarrassed and lazy because in he's a guy after all, and doesn't want to miss the football game on the weekend so he blames the sink and tells the owner it's the sinks fault. The sink did not randomly explode, there was someone in the room when it happened. The sink sat there all night before he was there.
