Flushing problem

[DarrenPosh]

Hi

My toilet isn't flushing properly, the pan fills almost to the top before gradually returning to its normal level.

Examining the toilet and the waste pipe coming from the toilet it doesn't appear to be blocked. We live in a bungalow and the bathroom is extended. As a result the the vertical pipe that comes from the waste pipe is inside. When I remove it, the flush seems to work normally, as if it is something to do with pressure.

I'm stumped, any ideas?

You have a "soft" blockage in the waste pipe. Standard stuff. The fall on waste pipes in extensions is often inadequate. Depends on the competence and care of the builder. Hope the interception chamber isn't under your living room.

any idea how I can remedy this myself or is it a professional job?
