Toilet very slow to drain
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:46 pm
I've just redecorated the bathroom in my new flat, in an attempt to fix all the disastrous errors made by the previous owner.
However, I now have a new problem. My toilet (modern push-button suite) is quite slow to drain and as a result sometimes takes a couple of flushes to clear the pan completely.
The only thing I changed when I refitted the WC after decorating, was the flexi-fit connector which I replaced with a new one. (the old one was discoloured and the seals were distorted as it had been pushed into an old style pan connector, which I also removed).
Anyone got any ideas for me? I'm assuming some sort of blockage in the WC waste, before it gets to the soil stack (about 5 feet away). Unfortunatly all the pipework is boxed in so I can't access it.
