And the best bit is, we made it ourselves
See that happy, fluffy cloud in the upper right corner? That, my friends, is several years’ accumulation of piddle and wet toilet paper. Why yes, it did stink.
When our gardener hacked back the hedge yesterday, she found a drain cover. All the soil around was soaking wet. We got our friendly neighborhood drains man around and he found that, between the first drain cover and the next was this giant toilet roll boulder.
Between the two inspection ports is, like, thirty feet of straight pipe. No gravity feed + low flow toilet = what you see here.
That particular pipe only handles the upstairs toilet, sink and shower, so there wasn’t enough stuff to push it through. We’ve apparently been peeing on the ground outside our bedroom window for years.
We have instructions to pour a bucket of water down it from time to time.
This is probably a good time to promote one of my favorite YouTube channels again: Drain Cleaning AUSTRALIA.
