I've located a blockage in my very very old drains (ground floor flat)(waste water not toilet).
The most logical way of getting at it seems to be to remove what I can only describe as a "45 degree blanking plate", 3 inches x 2 inches which is on a 90 degree bend as the pipe comes out of the base of the external wall.
A snake would then have a straight run at the blockage, 2m max, no bends.
However, I'm concerned it'll be rusted solid and I don't want to break it. It looks circa 1920.
Anyone had any experience of attempting something like this ?
