if it drains overnight and you can see pipework and own a pressure washer shove nozzle as far in as possible and let rip - obviously may be messy so stand clear!

I used to have one, but it was left with my old business.

Hope you get it sorted mate.

A cundy keeker mate told me the holiday season is gold to him.

Strangers in unfamiliar situations.

Nappies, used johnnies, tampons, rubber gloves etc.

Sounds like a great party, mind.

We're generally pretty careful with what goes down the loo as we've been on septic tanks for over 10 years now. That said, with having a 4 year old, we have had the flushable wipes for a little while. If it's anything, it's that. They do break down, but not quite as readily as normal toilet paper.

Flushable wipes keep me in business.

 

just a couple of thoughts, if it's draining away overnight it isn't a serious blockage. Is there only one chamber between the house and the septic tank?

It is exactly that.

Those fuckers are biodegradable.

In, like, 200 years.

 

You’re killing the planet J.

I think so. We've only been in for 5 months, so the layout of the waste system isn't something I'm very familiar with. 

 

Amusingly, the landlord had guys out earlier in the week as he thought that there was something not quite right with the system. They didn't pick up on any blockage.

 

I'm not a fan of the flushable wipes, but they are a lot easier for young kids learning to be self sufficient with toileting. A new approach may be required.

Not the planet, just my septic tank!
