Get a plumber to check it . If you have a Krod, use it to run through the pipes to the soakaway.

What other replies is he expecting again apart from the advice that has already been given up there? What’s so hard about calling a plumber around him instead of coming to Nairaland to seek assistance? I don’t understand when Nairaland suddenly turned into a plumbing service. 😂

There are plumbers out there. Hire one.
What other advice are you expecting.

sad follow slavaukraini and call plumber to open that pipe cubicle. There's panties,clothes,used condoms, pads blockage. The culprits are those young boys,girls.If they are tenants in yo house,BILL them to fix em.if they refused, add /increase their rent.NO TIME
Re: Soakaway Issues by McLizbae: 4:18pm On Oct 08, 2025
That's the pipe blockage most likely. Full soakaway will rather be leaking water out around the septic pit outside.

Good day everyone. Plumbers in the house I recently opened our toilet chamber and noticed that the water does not flow down through the pipe connecting to the soakaway.

I'm confused if the soakaway is full (because whenever i pour water inside the chamber, instead of flushing down, some waste products will come out from the pipe leading to the soakaway) or if our neighbors children have used p@d to block their own chamber.. thereby causing water from ours not to pass?

Who has a solution to this please? 🙏🙏
Let’s work collectively on this project as it promises financial breakthroughs.

The biodigester is a new sewage management system where you will never need to evacuate faeces. It is a system where you can convert energy generated to electricity and/or cooking gas. Every builder is interested in it. But it’s funny many don’t even know it yet.

Let me intrudruce you to a company that produces this biodigester if you will need one for your house or to introduce to landlords in your neighborhood.

why not call a professional plumber because that's their job.
Re: Soakaway Issues by topsy23(m): 4:38pm On Oct 08, 2025
Get a plumber to fix it for you. Let him use K-rod to free the pipes to the septic tank/soakaway pit. It's not a big issue. Only if your SEPTIC TANK/SOAKAWAY is not yet full.

The following will continue to block it until the habit stopped

1. Sanitary pad

2. Condom

Get a plumber to run a line through n empty the soakaway if required

Only a plumber can fix it, it's blockage . roughly 20k can get it done here in asaba. You need to open all Chambers , you need a long pipe and you need to pack out some shit grin
I can guide you if you don't have money
I already opened our own chamber yesterday and used that long pipe of over 6ft to push inside the soakaway pipe but nothing changed.

I'm planning to confront my neighbor so he can open his own chamber let me know if they have used pad to block it.. I'm suspecting he might try to say that the soakaway is full so as to save himself.. but if he does then I'll call a plumber tomorrow.

This is why I hate living in a compound full of teenage girls. They know pad can block the toilet but they'll try to act like they're ignorant of what they're doing huh

No

They will collect money for that their long pipe. Some of them have it, but you ll pay for it as if they are renting it.

This is what happened when there are too many chambers, it increases point of failure
Re: Soakaway Issues by tnerro1(m): 7:20pm On Oct 08, 2025
Instead of looking for a good plumber and pay him to solve your problem, you are looking for cheap advice on nairaland, you are on a long thing oo, if you follow advice for here, na to construct new suckaway be that.😒

Re: Soakaway Issues by Blackdisciple(m): 12:00am On Oct 09, 2025
Nothing other than blockage, get a plumber he knows what to do. But remember even if the plumber unclogged the chambers and your septic tank is filled up it's just a waste of time cos it will still block again so if it has not been evacuated pls do so but if it has been evacuated you might still have to unclog the chambers.

After he has finished his job I will advise you that to avoid blockage make sure you don't allow your septic tank to get filled up before evacuating reason is that when ever waste starts returning after flushing it means there's a blockage and if there's a constant filling up and late evacuation it causes continuous blockage it doesn't come in a day it's an accumulated waste which can cause slugde
