Hi.
Our upstairs toilet is blocked.
If you do a short flush you're pretty much ok but a full flush eventually swamps the bowl. It is emptying after about 10 mins but seems to be getting worse.
Sometimes the water level in the bowl is lower than it should be after it has drained.
Nothing else is affected so I think it is a blockage in the soil pipe and I have had a drain hole put in it from previous problems and I have a drain rod.
However, I'm curious as to where the blockage might be.
Also, usually if the toilet gets the odd temporary blockage we get water dripping through the kitchen ceiling from where the pipe just passes the u bend. It is isn't happening now.
Could it be that the blockage is there?
If so, am I best off plunging at the toilet or rodding at the soil pipe first?
Thanks a lot.
