I live in a victorian terrace and suspect the drains are old and very narrow. Confession time - I ran out of toilet paper a couple of months ago, so used kitchen roll which I think may have caused the problem. First the outside drain overflowed with bits of kitchen roll visible. The toilet emptied a lot slower and there is a gurgling noise in the bath plughole. Then, when I flushed the toilet, a tiny bit of water spat up the plughole and into the bath (tiny amount).
I usually have showers and that drained away slowly. I had a bath last night and there was a disgusting drain smell when I emptied it (it took ages to empty), turned round and the shower tray was full of brown filthy drain water. Now when I do anything, even empty the washing machine something else happens.
I dont know what to do! Who do I contact?
Someone suggested a drain unblocker which I bought - its 95% sulphuric acid but I'm worried it might damage the drain.
Please help!
