I have a macerator in my ensuite. The pump in it is working fine, however the water level is not dropping, which leads me to believe that I have a blockage somewhere in the 22mm piping that goes up through the wall, through the loft, out of the soffit, and down to meet the soil pipe.
The power of the pump in the macerator does not seem strong enough to clear the blockage. I'm not too keen on getting a high pressure hose in there as I don't want water everywhere. I'm thinking of disconnetcing the 22mm pipe where it meets the soil pipe outside and somwhow 'sucking the blockage through.
What are your thoughts? Can this be done? If so, what can I use to do this?
Many thanks for your time.

Could leave a bad taste in the mouth if it goes wrong (or even if it dosen't). :eek:
 
wasn't really considering using my mouth, are there any tools you could suggest?
