Help! Toilet really blocked !!

[mistressmiggins]

Have tried toilet brush
Have tried plunger
Have been & bought One-Stop (thanks to another MN thread mnths ago)

Now water isnt going down very fast at all !!

I didnt use much One-stop as it fizzed up & scared the life out of me !!

what now?

Try putting the rest of the one stop in in stages.

can you access the sewage hold thingy at all? i have one in my garden. when mine was blocked we threw buckets of water with force to clear the blockage.

what is one stop?

I find caustic soda is very effective. Need to be careful and keep the room well ventilated though.

did I not leave One-Stop in long enough?

oh b@gger

and what REALLY annoys me is that we've had problems with this toilet for well over 6 mths and H wouldnt let me get anyone out to fix it cos too tight.

Now it may be properly blocked and I will have to pay for it

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

do you use kandoo wipes or anything?

nope
only thing I put down is toilet paper

BUT a friend put a baby wipe down about 7 or 8 mths ago which probably was the start of our problems

I have put kleenex tissue down b4 now - ones you use when you have a cold but surely that wouldnt block it?

can you get your hand down there and pull out the blockage?

tried that - cant feel anything
also tried a coat hanger

been trying all weekend cos kids away so seemed ideal time otherwise DD (21 mths) will be copying me shoving her hand down all the time

what sort of loo roll do you use?

can you get any rods at all?

tescos own - not cheapest but not quilted or anything fancy

going to parents now for lunch - will see if dad has any rods

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thanks guys for your helpful comments though

Where abouts are you MM my dp is a drainage engineer & does this for his job may be able to help?

I believe she is in Worcestershire.

If you say thet you have not really put anything down it to block it, you could have problems with the piping etc, i will ask Dp when he gets back home later this afternoon.

Oh we are in Surrey !

It's only up the road, if he leaves now, he could be back by dark.

Lol LGJ would help if he was even in now

They do travel all around but think he is working quite locally at the mo, it does cost silly money to call them out though, & could cost a fortune if there are problems, I think what he would do first is use a big plunger, then a loooong rod & if that did not budge it he would have to go out to the drains outside & use a camera down them to see what the problem was, can you tell he talks to me all about his booooooring job

could you use a pressure washer???

I'm with freckle on this one. Caustic soda is good but you have to be very careful using it.

pour water down the loo.
Our always gets blocked. My 15 year old uses huge ammounts of loo roll!
Have you go a long wirey thingy you can poke down it?

back from lunch

have just poured rest of One-Stop down toilet so will give that a few minutes to work

thanks for the offer SomethingAboutMary

I am as LGJ says in Worcestershire

if one-stop doesnt work, I may have to ring someone tomorrow - that'll be fun as I have laryngitis !!

yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I poured the rest of the bottle down the toilet, waited and then flushed.
Nothing
So i got another coat hanger & shoved that up the pipe with my hand right in the water
Flushed - nothing

Then I flushed again and suddenly there was a big glug & all the water disappeared!!!

thank you One-Stop and Mumsnet

my DS will come home & think Im supermum
