Jillybabes   10 #1 Posted April 1, 2018 Hello, our house is an end terraced and our neighbour immediately next door says his downstairs toilet is backed up and might need access to our storm drain when someone comes out to have a look to see if there's a blockage, our downstairs toilet is fine but the drain where the kitchen sink empties into is also blocked. We can't get the draincover up ourselves to have a look as just had imprinted concrete done and is awkward to get up with our lack of tools. Surely our loo would be backed up too if the problem was in our drain, or would it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Happened in our yard . Someone was putting wipes etc down the toilet plus loads of fat down the drain . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ttparsons   10 #3 Posted April 1, 2018 Whether yours is below and they need to ensure they flush the blockage through it, or yours is above and it may have started to back up to yours, they may need access to make sure everything is cleared through. You know your drain is blocked which may be due to a blockage next door. If the solid matter has backed up it may need clearing even after next door’s is flowing again.
