  • Still having issues with a slow emptying toilet. It's not the toilet itself. Seems there's a restriction further down the line. In a block of flats is that likely still our problem or the body corps? Anyone dealt with similar before? I'm assuming they can do the thing where they get a drill and corkscrew the pipes to try and remove any sediment or deposits? But if there's trees or something that have grown into the pipes or the pipes have moved it could be a bigger job. Any other ideas?

  • Do you know that other flats are experiencing the same issue?

    If not then you need to get it looked at and it may get "jetted/flushed" from inside your bog or there might be an access from outside if you're lucky (depending on what level/height your flat is at)

    If its further down the line i.e when your pipes are meeting other flat pipes and other flats have the same issue, it would be the responsibility of whatever agent/factor you have that deals with building issues.

  • Thanks. We're ground floor. The last plumber said it might be simply because the flats above are sharing the same pipe further down. I know there's water access and some kind of drain out the front of our place which might provide scope for inspection/cleaning.
