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.

They are called macerators. Available from any decent plumbing supplier.

Surely the background is similar because it’s Christmas, so (1) people are eating different foods (2) autistic people are more stressed out and out of their normal routine, which often leads to bowel issues and (3) more people than usual are sharing the same toilet so there’s obviously a higher chance of blockages.

But if it's particularly stubborn and refuses to yield, you're playing Pushin' Poolette if it ends up flooding your bathroom floor with human gravy.

I’ve been in a similar situation with my autistic son and also holding it for a week and then the absolute horror of it all. Autistic people are known to have gut issues. I see it in the school setting I work in too. So I really empathise. Fortunately my son is able to sort it out himself now but in your situation I appreciate its different and also difficult!

I had something like this to slice n dice when living with an old toilet which did not like poo

Ah, brill! Surely they should promote these more widely on the late-night TV shopping hours?!

Rubber gloves, stick your hand 8nside a long bin bag and stick your hand in to break up the lump and push it through the pipe. Pull off the bin bag inside out and pop it straight into another bag and bin it

To the advocates of bleach; it might work in this case but it's a terrible thing to put down the drains as it's very harmful to aquatic life. Should be avoided or be a very last resort.

😂🤣😅🤣😂

Maybe on PooTube?

To be fair, this does sound like it’s getting towards a last resort situation. I only use bleach to clean after someone’s been vomiting, but I’d use it here if I thought it might work!

I am lucky enough to have a downstairs bathroom (with almost zero drop on the drains) so I am VERY experienced in going in from the manhole end with a set of drain rods. If it's a downstairs loo I recommend owning a set of these.

HG Drain Unblocker

they do various types of unblocking liquids - I use it usually if the shower is blocked but I reckon it would shift a poo.

I don’t know if B &Q, or Wickes would be open today though ?

Pmsl!

If all else fails, and you have the budget to pay for a replacement toilet (and possibly a replacement house as well), droping in a good-sized nugget of sodium would vanquish it once and for all.

Our chemistry teacher once told us a joke about a pupil who stole sodium from a school science lesson, then panicked and tried to throw it away into the bog. He said they'd worried that they may see an extended spate of similar incidents, but luckily, it turned out just to be a flash in the pan.

I don’t think bleach is the thing -better detergent and hot water. Poo is largely fat.

For downstairs loo this has beena godsend https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MXSIOQD I find cheap washing up liquid really helps. I have a temperature kettle so have that at 80deg to pour down. Bleach is fine not sure what the issue is, and might help, it's environmentally friendly just put toilet seat down when you flush. Big squirts of washing liquid to ease it's passage, hot water and pressure gun does the trick.

Don't you then run the risk of firing it back out at the other end, all over the bathroom floor? Kind of like reverse snooker?

Pure chlorine powder would be far more effective than bleach in chemically dissolving organic matter. Do you have a pool supplies company nearby?

No, or at least, not yet... you kind of dig around with the end of the pole until it starts running back towards you. More of a 'slow release' than trying to shove it out the way it came.

It's surprisingly therapeutic, although I'd recommend REALLY good rubber gloves!

Quoting you so you see this.
What you need is caustic soda. Hardware shops sell it - independent ones.
Mix it in a bucket with really hot water. Don’t get it on your hands or in your eyes. It will dissolve the poo.

My autistic sibling used to do same and caustic soda almost always solved the issue.

Whatever you do, don't try and double flush until water level has gone back to its normal level. Think the only way is to use a good plunger, or failing that, sorry, you'll have to use your hand and just stimulate it a bit !

If there is already bleach, or anything else down the loo that could be dangerous.

Been there seen that done it
