Not a plumber but helping my elderly neighbour (82).
Before I go completely nuts....kitchen (double sink) and toilet wash hand basin wastes are joined under the floor (which I've been under - a real mess of pipes and joins) and eventually to the outside world (see image 1) but all blocked and not draining. I did it all...plunged to death, One Shot drain cleaner, snake and eventually cut the 1.25" pipe (yes 1.25") outside and poked a rod up there. It cleared but nothing obvious came out (no lump of hair for example). Image 2 is a temporary fix until I get some fittings. Back today and sinks not clearing again. I've bought this Professional Power Plunger from Screwfix (pick it up tomorrow).....anybody got an opinion of how good it is and how not to use it?
