Our downstairs toilet is suffering from a blockage, after a couple of flushes the water level in the bowl rises and takes about 20mins to drain away.
I've pulled the loo out and the U-bend is clear, so went on to shoving a flexible spring thing down the soil pipe which gets stuck after about a metre or so. My problem is that the soil pipe bends as it enters the conrete floor and disappears under the house, I also suspect another bend down there somewhere from the feel of the springy thing. The vertical stack at the back of the house (which I assume it joins to) has no access point and the only manhole cover I can find is at the furtherest corner from the WC and rods won't reach !
Is there anything I can do from the WC end to try and shift the blockage?
Thanks
Jim
