The plumbing fault
Further investigation showed that hair and other debris had accumulated around the branch connection before the waste entered the 110mm soil pipe, almost completely closing the opening.

The bath and shower at this New Parks property would not drain. Plunging had failed and a strong sulphuric-acid drain cleaner had already been used, but the obstruction remained.

What we found
Further investigation showed that hair and other debris had accumulated around the branch connection before the waste entered the 110mm soil pipe, almost completely closing the opening.
What AFS did
Access was carefully created through the ceiling below so the affected section of waste pipe could be removed. The blockage was cleared, new pipework was installed and the drainage was tested.
Useful guidance
Never mix drain-cleaning chemicals. Always tell the attending plumber exactly what products have been used so they can protect themselves and handle the pipework safely.
