Our toilet may be slightly blocked, as instead of draining and re-filling at equal rates, the incoming water seems to be coming in faster than the outgoing water leaves, in the last week or two, so the level rises about 5" (a bit alarmingly), and then goes back to normal fairly quickly. I'm sure it didn't used to do this before.
I bought a plunger today but it didn't seem very effective, there was no change. dd is teenage and knows to use the bin for sanitary towels, but maybe one of her friends didn't - I don't know.
We live on a hillside so our drainage goes vertically down then under the house a long way, to the road at the front (I think - we've never had to consider it before) The other toilet is working fine.
Does anyone have any good ideas what to try next? It still works fine but I'm worried it may get worse, rather than better and then we'd have a real problem to deal with, trying to sort it out before that stage. And calling in a massively expensive drain-clearing company.
thank you
