Hi all, this is my first post here.
I'm not a plumber and I have a problem with the toilet system on the first floor of my home.
There are two toilets up there, one in a bathroom and another about six feet away in an on-suite attached to a bedroom.
The problem is that both are always becoming blocked. Sometimes this can be cleared with a spring-type arbour designed for u-bends and sometimes a visit from a plumber with the proper equipment is required - which is getting expensive!
It seems to me that these two toilets are on the same level, with not enough drop to work properly as a system. A plumber told me that the one in the on-suite does not have enough flush to push the waste past the other toilet and into the outflow pipe which makes sense.
I have urged my family to use the on-suite only in emergencies and try to use the toilet downstairs but this does not seem to keep the thing from getting blocked up after 3-6 weeks.
What can I do to resolve this once and for all?
Many thanks
Paul
