Large poo stuck in waste pipe

[Strawberrydelight78]

My lovely son has done the biggest poo known to man this morning in our only toilet.🙈🙈🙈It has flushed but is stuck in the waste pipe. I’ve done everything suggested online put washing up liquid down poured a bucket of water down and bicarb and distilled vinegar and plunged with the toilet brush. But the water is still coming up quite high when flushed. I am trying to clear it before anyone else needs to use it. He has autism and is totally unaware of the drama he’s caused. Any suggestions of anything else I could try please? And Happy New Year.

If he is saving up poo when he visits, could he take a mild laxative such as a 1/2 or whole sachet of movicol to see if he is more regular?

Lots and lots of boiling water. We get this often.

Just roll your sleeves up and give it a good fingering.

RTFT.

The plunging method seems to be the most popular. I'm sure to give it a go the next time this little drama unfolds in our house!

This thread is absolute gold. The suggestions are brilliant. Especially the instructions to clean the equipment afterwards, which obvs OP wouldn’t have thought of.

I should probably have written "and have a big enough bag to put it straight into when you've finished" ... otherwise you are just left holding a plastic bottle that may drip yuck.

Perhaps I was overthinking?

Nooooo, please don't use bleach. Or boiling water.

If it's not too late, is it possible to just 'lift' the pool out of the pan in one piece, if it's really solid?

Do you not have a plunger, or is it not working?

If you have access to a plunger:
•chop up the bulk of the poo with a knife
•pour water into the pan from a bucket (lets you control the amount and avoid overflow)
•plunge firmly while covering your face to avoid splashback

Movicol is an excellent suggestion

Do you have a hammer drill which you could use as a battering ram - if there's enough space in the pan to hold it at the right angle?!

Sorry if this is too graphic, but if it’s smooth, jabbing it with a metal coat hanger (or similar) helps more than fingers (unless you use your nails, but I will go around the house and try to fashion literally anything I can find into a jabbing wire before attempting that), as making a hole in the, erm, blockage can allow water inside it that helps break it down from the inside.

Could you add a quantity of washing up liquid and then leave it for half an hour? A percentage of it will be fat which might fall away when in contact with the washing up liquid.

Apologies to the OP who is battling the huge poo (solidarity been there myself) but this is thread has had me in hysterics. Unfortunately I don’t have any advice other than what has already been suggested.

A cup of biological washing powder left in the bowl for an hour should break it up. Boiling water risks cracking your toilet bowl but you can pour some hot water down.
You can make a plunger by cutting the bottom off a large plastic drinks bottle. Push the open end down the loo holding tight to the neck of the bottle. Use it as a plunger. Rubber gloves and a plastic bag over your arm and you can bag up the bottle and put it straight in the bin.

Keep the screw top firmly on the bottle.

This ^

Although being an utter germophobe and OCD I use two bin bags and about 4 pairs of rubber gloves!

Yet another weird poo thread. I swear there was another thread with a very similar background....

What about a drain unblocker poured down? One of the ones that goes through any sitting water? Would it help “dissolve” it a bit?

This really isn't good advice...

Dumping bleach on it will break it up

Ah yes, the dangers of splashback. I honestly hadn't thought of that. Might wear my welder's mask.

Somebody definitely needs to invent a blender-type attachment to sit in toilet stench pipes.

If the chain/flush button isn't sufficient for a clean dispatch, press another button (maybe with a Samurai sword pictured on it) to send in the big guns.

I clear toilet blockages by just holding down the flush button until the pan fills to almost overflowing and the weight of the water then forces it through.

Don't put boiling water down a toilet, you can crack the porcelain. Just keep going with the plunger. Try and get the rubber part mostly under the water line so it goes down then pull up with force. Then repeat.

Get a mop,
cover the head with a plastic bag and use it as a plunger, works every time (then throw away the mop!!!)
