I need more drop on this soil pipe...

R D S · 2020-10-01T12:54:02+00:00

recently added upstairs loo at work is attached to a run of soil pipe approx 7 foot long and almost horizontal.My thick son has blocked it numerous times now, it's getting past a joke but partly in his defence there's little suction (siphon?) when it's flushed.So several questions...I affected a repair a while ago to sort a blockage which i've been meaning to improve upon, so could relatively easily pull the lot apart and reconfigure it?Shall I just try to get more run on it or put a bit of vertical in where it emerges from the wall?Is it OK to ration bog roll to people going to the loo?When/if he has kids of his own might there be some hope that he'll use a rational amount of roll?

I note you've had the same "pro" fit the white plastic pipe as in the other thread on rough plumbing :-)
