I was very silly and flushed things I shouldn't have down my toilet.
This was 5 days ago.
Since then the toilet has been working fine and no blocks in the loo or the toilet backing up.

I am just worried, because I dont know how clean or free and empty the toilet drain pipe outside taking all the house waste to the sewer is.

I dont want what I flushed down there to get caught on little bits of debris, or snags in the pipe to cause it to start a block which would then increase with waste and loo paper.

I want to check my toilet waste pipe is clear and wont be effected by the things I have flushed.
I don't have a hose pipe.
I can't afford a plumber to check the pipe.

If it was 5 days ago and a block could have started how long would it take for the block in the outside pipe to get worse?

Where is the outside toilet drain cover I could lift up and look in. What does It look like? (serious question I am a student I need to learn!)
 
I can't im over worrying!

How long would It take for a block to form? It has been 5 days and the toilets have been used and flushed many times.
Not a problem yet..
 
Where are you in the country, if your near me I will give man hole recognition training... If it was four filters instead of three then you would of had massive problems. Did you know they expand upto 36x?

I can't seem to find the soil waste toilet pipe outside.
I am very worried
 
you have been told 3 filters arnt gonna make a difference.
maybe if they joined themselves together end on end, swelled up really big, got stuck on a dodgy bit of pipe and then had babies, whose babies then had really fat triplets you would have a problem. you must be winding us up.
get a mug. put some filters in it, fill with water, leave for 2 days to swell. turn mug upside down, if filters have grown to size of mug then you may have a problem.
or are they your tampons ?
seriously. let it go.
 
This is a joke guys, do you seriously think someone is worried that they have flushed a few filters ? rofl here
 
Please dont wind me up! I am having difficulty trying to determine what is a wind up and what is not.

I am very worried. This has been in my mind for 5 days now.
I just want to know what I can do myself to clear my main toilet soil line towards the sewer!
 
Just spoke to our local council and the police, apparently there is a maximum fine of £50000 or 5 years in prison. I just hope you have a good lawyer. Good luck bex, was nice knowing you.
 
I'm not joking atall.
I am very worried!

Im not worried the actual filters have blocked my soil pipe. I am worried about them catching onto things in my waste toilet pipe outside and causing an obstruction!
 
If this is a wind up then well done, it got the attention you wanted.
If this is not a wind up then I would be more worried about worrying about something so trivial - If 3 *** ends end up blocking your soil pipe I will come and clear it myself free of charge...
 
Hold tight there's a plumber on the way.

He'll be wearing a white coat and carrying a straight jacket and will probably claim to be a doctor but just trust him.

I know this is a wind up, but can't tell if the one about calling up the drain cleaning people.
This isn't a wind up im just worried! All these people winding me up is not helping!
 
No best thing to do is to get a plumber out to change the pipework to glass ! This way you will see anyproblems and skidmarks in future
 
@bexbex Do us a favour; Go and flush the toilet and tell us exactly what happens.
