Mend Flush Causing Problem

Taoilet waste comes back?

When you flush the toilet the waste goes away but then it slowly comes back!
Any ideas what could be causing this problem.

You could have a blockage somewhere try looking in the manhole it feeds into see if that has 'backed up' [look in the next manhole along if clear it's between manholes]. if so rod in the 'outflow' direction [towards clear manhole] but when using drain rods 'Duck tape' the joints and always turn the rods clockwise. turning anti clockwise could unscrew them then you're in trouble. Another thing to try I have done is boiling water and costic soda mix pour into the toilet pan about half a bucket then follow up with another that usually shifts a slow blockage. Another though has come to mind is if you use pan cleaners that hang on the side of the pan one may have sliipped in to the pipework. A good plunging with the rubber disc of the drain rods usually shift it in to the manhole where it can be removed.
