Hello all. Please can someone help. My brand new toilet somehow got
blocked. So, I poured a cap full of caustic soda down it and some
boiling water. Nothing happened. So I kept doing it, so much so that
the crystals have totally hardened and now, the hole has almost
totally blocked up and none of the waste is being flushed away. How
can I dissolve the totally rock hard caustic soda. Can I salvage my
toilet?? Can it be cleared away. (Almost 10 days now). Thank you for
your help.

10 days without a tom tit ? ...

The chemical composition of a bag of Postcrete would cure the problem of
a toilet being blocked by rock hard caustic soda.


It sounds like some dodgy plumbing downstream from the toilet is
where the blockage is, not the actual bog. Who fitted this 'new'
toilet ?.

An old wire coat hanger is a good implement for dealing with such blockages
'New' toilets seems to have a smaller exit hole from what I've
seen. Something to do with low-water usage regulations??. This
makes poking stiff wiry stuff 'round the bend' more tricky.

I have noticed this to. Sometimes the product for which it is
designed does not flush away.

How can I dissolve the totally rock hard caustic soda, asks Chummy upthread.

Try hot water. Even at 25C, a litre of water can dissolve a kilo of caustic
soda. So I don't see how it can be "rock hard". What hasn't he told us?


that he's a thick ****
