Hi,
I am new to this forum and wonder if someone could offer any advice.
My problem is that our main external drain is constantly getting blocked.
The bath, sink, bidet, shower, kitchen sink and dishwasher all drain into the same Gully.
The gully connects straight to the main sewer pipe which is located under the property(1932ish)
We are using approximately a kilo of soda and hot water every 3 or 4 days to try and clear the blockage.
Due to the angle of the gully and connecting drain, it is impossible to rod from the sewer pipe, and I cannot rod from the gully due to the angle it connects to the sewer pipe. (as can be seen from the enclosed diagram)
A local plumber suggested installing a new drain to be used just for the kitchen sink and dishwasher.
but this would connect into a manhole which is located in the drive but slightly up stream of the gully.
(As shown)
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
