I've lived in a newer him for about 4 years. Shortly after I moved in, the toilet in our master bathroom starting bubbling and eventually wouldn't flush and overflowed. After plunging, snaking through the toilet to no avail, my uncle cut the pipe in the basement and we pulled out about a truck load of nastiness. No problems since. We installed a clean out where we made the cut, but the clean out is angled down somewhat.
Yesterday I get home and the wife breaks the news that the toilet is plugged in the master bath. So I plunged, used the toilet auger, to no avail. I go downstairs with a bucket and open the clean out (obviously not thinking clearly) . I'm guessing you can imagine what happened next.
My uncle pointed out that the pipe below my toilet, to the sink has virtually no pitch. Then there's a couple of 45's, then the shower ties in. There's one spot at this junction of the shower that the pitch appears to go uphill slightly for a couple of feet, then starts downhill like it should.
What needs to be done here? Any help appreciated, I can provide pictures later.
Thank you
