Tis the season to be merry....

[Mark Bolam]

We know how to party in here Mull.

Merry Christmas mate.

I have to clear my folk's system on a fairly regular basis. Drain rods is the only way I know. 

 

Good luck getting it all sorted. Not the kind of problem you need at this time.

 

Happy Chrismas anyway in spite of the poo 

[Mull]

Merry Christmas lads, all the very best.

Success! Got the blockage cleared, which as it turns out was only 3ft away from the inspection cover. Had to ladle out about 20 buckets of shitty fluid, which took a couple of hours. I have a robust and quite rigid 18mm hosepipe, which I used as a rod to reach the blockage and shift it. Seems like there is a badly designed bend there and it would be prone to blocking I think. 

 

Anyway, hot shower and cup of tea later and we're all good. Thanks for the imput lads. 

 

One thing that did make the whole experience much more reasonable was the addition of the washing powder last night. It seemed to neutralise the odour for the most part.

Phew ! Well done Jonathan .

Just a thought Jonathon there should be another inspection chamber if there is a bend.

There should! That was the first thing my (engineer) brother said.

They often get hidden.  Concreted or tarmaced over.  Glad you got it sorted.  I have one under my side porch.... hope I never have to dig that up.

[Rough Hewn]

I've had to dig one up.
It was bad.
From the house under 10" of concrete, to various grease traps, reservoir, filter bed and out flow pipes.
