Plumbing problem

    4bed semi-d with three wc's. When anyone of them is flushed, there is a loud 'gluging' sound as they refill (since the last week or so) - and the bowls fill up with water for a couple of seconds and go back down again after a few seconds. The downstairs wc is (as of this morning) filled up and will not clear.


    Any idea what this might be?

    Just guessing here, but I would assume your drains outside are getting jammed. Can you open up a manhole to have a look while you flush?

    Yeah - your right.
    The manhole at the front of the house is free - but all the ones along the back of house are blocked up to the brim. Whats the best way of going about freeing this up?

    getting a set of rods with either a worm head or a plunger head nd shove them down the shore .its probablly just toilet paper built up . but rods are much cheaper than calling out dyno rod

    Thanks for the info folks. I managed to get a couple of metres length of heavy guage hydrodare pipe - cleared it straight away. Two big chunks of concrete stuck in the corner of the wavin piping - holding up proceedings.
