Woke up to a blocked toilet this morning. This has happened on a fairly regular basis since the new bathroom was fitted 6 months ago and we are sure it is to do with having a 6 litre flush (old stylee used to be 11 L) and a dodgy u bend. We know it is not the soil pipes as they were all replaced with brand new and my BIL (who is in the trade) was very careful about 'fall' and diameter of pipes etc. After a very patronising phone call with the Bathstore technical desk - must be the pipes as it is a woman on the phone so of course she doesn't know what she is talking about - I finally convinced 'Rob' that actually he was talking a load of s**t in trying to avoid replacing a faulty toilet. It really should not take 2.5 hours, drain rodding equipment, countless bucket loads of water, and finally, in desperation, the Karcher pressure washer to clear a blocked loo! - There's an idea, maybe I should phone up Ideal world and give then a new use for the Karcher to demonstrate......
Anyhow, BIL is coming over tomorrow to dismantle the loo and have a good look down the pipes. Am v glad that it is clear at the moment as Flip is having a belated 18th birthday party tomorrow and the last thing I need is a blocked loo plus a houseful of drunk teenagers.
Let's just say that I won't be putting the Karcher away until after the party....
ha ha, sounds like you really are up to your elbows in it. good idea not to put the karcher away until after the party!
