Hi guys,
Recently, the upstairs loo started to make a strange, loud gurgling noise hours after anyone even used it. I went to investigate and there it was blowing bubbles. I flushed it and noticed the soak away was slow. My wife later noticed it can't flush properly and needs 2 or 3 goes to flush. Then we noticed water back-flowing up the bath plug-hole, so I bought a plunger. Plunging with the bath plug in caused the sink to then spill water and some black debris.
To make matters worse, the next day we found the cloakroom loo is also not flushing properly now either. Plunging seems to have little effect, and we're a bit scared it's going to get worse upstairs.
I've read about snake augers and using caustic soda but I'd rather ask your advice here before going further.
cheers,
Mike
