My toilet has start to drain a bit slowly, to the point that the water level rises too much when flushing... even if it still drains within a few seconds; maybe it just needs two flushes before you can see perfectly clean water
After trying various cleaning products and a toilet snake (that goes in freely) I decided to remove the toilet to have a look at the drain pipe
There doesn’t seem to be any blockage, I’ve tried pouring a bucket of water directly into the drain in the picture and it seems to drain ok ( but maybe I didn’t pour water fast enough)
Then I also tried taking the toilet to the garden and flushing it with a bucket of water (it drains very well and it also looks very clean with no blockage)
So I’m still dubious about the waste pipe, but I don’t know what else to try to find and free the blockage
The first section of pipe visible in the picture goes to the left into the main waste pipe.
I also don’t understand why I have that boxed section on the left, I know it hosts the waste pipe, but why does it need to be above floor level?
