How can I clean my main toilet waste sewer pipe? Want to check its clean

[Whl4852]

Three! Take some photos of your garden and we will see if we can spot them. Tell us a bit more...

bex there is nothing to be worried about. the filters will not block your soil pipe or your toilet. certain members are winding you up!

 

[heliotrope]

How many more pages can this wind up go?

 

[migoplumber]

you have been told 3 filters arnt gonna make a difference.
maybe if they joined themselves together end on end, swelled up really big, got stuck on a dodgy bit of pipe and then had babies, whose babies then had really fat triplets you would have a problem. you must be winding us up.
get a mug. put some filters in it, fill with water, leave for 2 days to swell. turn mug upside down, if filters have grown to size of mug then you may have a problem.
or are they your tampons ?
seriously. let it go.

What are you studying bex? Media? Drama?!

This is a joke guys, do you seriously think someone is worried that they have flushed a few filters ? rofl here

 

[bexbex]

Please dont wind me up! I am having difficulty trying to determine what is a wind up and what is not.

I am very worried. This has been in my mind for 5 days now.
I just want to know what I can do myself to clear my main toilet soil line towards the sewer!

 

[Whl4852]

Just spoke to our local council and the police, apparently there is a maximum fine of £50000 or 5 years in prison. I just hope you have a good lawyer. Good luck bex, was nice knowing you.

 

[bexbex]

I'm not joking atall.
I am very worried!

Im not worried the actual filters have blocked my soil pipe. I am worried about them catching onto things in my waste toilet pipe outside and causing an obstruction!

Electricity.

If this is a wind up then well done, it got the attention you wanted.
If this is not a wind up then I would be more worried about worrying about something so trivial - If 3 *** ends end up blocking your soil pipe I will come and clear it myself free of charge...

Hold tight there's a plumber on the way.

He'll be wearing a white coat and carrying a straight jacket and will probably claim to be a doctor but just trust him.

I know this is a wind up, but can't tell if the one about calling up the drain cleaning people.
This isn't a wind up im just worried! All these people winding me up is not helping!

Get back to the sparky forum where you came from.......

 

[Whl4852]

Have you tried flushing more filters in order to push aforementioned filters away from your property?

This.

Apparently, flushing a cigarette butt down the toilet may lead to the death of sea otters. Now you've got the RSPCA to worry about.

You get a play station in the nick these days, it's not all bad news

No best thing to do is to get a plumber out to change the pipework to glass ! This way you will see anyproblems and skidmarks in future

very expensive way to just relive my worries!

 

[gavinwilson]

Student..... You sure you don't just want the filters back to re use

 

[Whl4852]

So bex ex ruins our drains, dodges our taxes and now she kills baby otters. I for one am leaving, sickened.

 

[Keefy]

@bexbex Do us a favour; Go and flush the toilet and tell us exactly what happens.

Nothing, just flushed as normal!
But not worried about the toilet, just further down the line in the soil waste pipe a build up could be caused by them!

 

[clarky101]

Get a bag of coke, empty it down the toilet, get yer flatmate to ring the police and hey presto they will check yer drains for free....

If there was a problem it would have backed up by now what with 5 days worth of flushing so you can relax now. :smiley2:

Really? I thought it would have taken weeks to cause a build up!

just reading through the forum and glad i stumbled across this thread. got a call to a house today, someone had flushed the upstairs loo and and it just came rushing out the downstairs loo. the mess was every where, kitchen livingroom the lot! looking like a hefty insurance claim.

when i was clearing the main line i found a single cigerette end had caused it, when i told the customer what had caused it she was devistated shed flushed it about a month earlier when she was having a crafty ciggy in the loo. i told her she was lucky realy if it had got caught up in the chamber and blocked the street up all the insurance would be claiming on her.

Poor thing. still its a lesson learnt and she wont do it again

Its a dangerous work we live in, at least the otters didn't eat it
