Upstairs toilet and shower draining slowly/blocked

[abracadabra123]

Hi there,

I have a townhouse and in the bathroom upstairs (top/2nd floor), the toilet isn't draining properly (it will fill to the top and then slowly drain). The shower is also not draining as well as it used to.

Not sure if its related but in the last few weeks we have also had drain flies in that bathroom which we have been trying to get rid of just with boiling water flushed down the toilet, shower and sink. Then this slow drain issue happened.

I have tried using a toilet plunger (luigi worlds best toilet plunger from Amazon) but that doesn't seem to have relieved the problem. I have also used a sink plunger on the shower which pulled up a small amount of broken solid but nothing major.

All other toilets/sinks in the house downstairs don't seem to have this problem just the top floor bathroom.

Is there any thing which would link the issue and point to where to check next/what to do next?

Any useful comments will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Sounds like a soil pipe or man hole blockage.

Any idea where to look/find the inspection hatch to check this?

Would be your garden or neighbours garden. Could even be a few doors down
