No, genuinely.
Got a waste pipe (110mm type) running horizontally under an ensuite floor. From left to right (about 15ft) there's a bath that empties into the waste, then there's a toilet, then a sink, then a shower, then the waste goes vertically down to the floor below.
Had the lovely experience of flushing the toilet the other day and seeing all the contents come up the bath plughole to the left of the toilet. Not for the first time, there seems to be a blockage to the right of the toilet which forced the flush off to the left of the pipe and up the bath waste.
As mentioned this isn't the first time the waste seems to have blocked. Last time I got one of those windy metal flexible rods, fed it down the toilet and cleared the blockage. Can do that again, but I suspect that the fall on the waste pipe is too shallow from one side of the ensuite to the other and so everything is failing to move along the pipe and eventually blocking.
Apart from ripping up the whole laminated floor, is there any suggestions? Can't really chock the waste higher under the toilet floor to increase the fall as it would stop the bath running out. Only thing I can think of is making sure we flush 2-3 times every time to make sure everything gets flushed away, but hoping someone has a bright idea?
