What we found
The plumbing fault
Wet wipes were a possible cause. Even products marketed as flushable can remain intact in pipework, catch on joints and combine with other waste to create a substantial blockage.

Blocked manhole and toilet drainage cleared in Blaby
A blocked manhole in Blaby caused wastewater to back up towards a ground-floor toilet, indicating a restriction beyond the toilet itself.
What AFS did
Diagnosis and repair
AFS inspected the drainage route, rodded the line and removed the obstruction so the system could flow normally again.
Useful guidance
What to watch for
Toilets should generally be used only for human waste and ordinary toilet paper. Repeated rising water, slow drainage or gurgling can indicate a restriction further along the drainage system.
