It turns out that my cess pit isn't actually full up but the pipes leading to the pit are blocked, and the usual instruments to unblock these pipes are too large for mine, so, does anyone have the correct necessary pokey things (i do not know the technical terms) that unblock these thin pipes...?



This is getting rather serious now, and i am tired of carting all my dirty dishes to the bathroom and farming out my laundry, so please no hijacking...

Have had similar problems myself, called out the Sh*t sucker and He resorted to a long length of plastic water pipe(Flexible enough to bend around corners, but rigid enough to unblock "the matter"), worked a treat., grey piping that feeds water into your tank.



Good luck
