I have a blocked toilet - the bowl drains very slowly, suggesting a 90 - 95%

Pumping up and down repeatedly with a large plunger has made a big improvement
- estimated blockage now down to 10%

How to clear it completely?



Have you been able to determine whether the blockage is within the pan
or further away in the soil pipe?

If it's the former, you could try running hot water theough it for a
period of time from a hose. Is there a shower with flexible hose
within reach for example?

The remaining material is likely to be paper or perhaps vampire's
teabags, and hot water may move them.
