Recently, I've started to accumulate quite a lot of waste water in the sewer pipe and notice that the blank tank valve cable handle doesn't go in as far as the grays do. I've seen the threads about putting an extra gate valve at the sewer line exit, and have one, but I'm wondering if maybe there's something stuck in the valve, preventing it from closing fully.
Has anyone tried using a brush to clean the gate valve? I'm thinking of something like this.
My thought is to put it down the toilet and try to feed it until it's in the valve and then rotate to dislodge whatever might be holding the valve open.
I'm also going to add the 2nd gate valve, but I'd like to get back to where the leakage is only a couple of fluid ounces, as it used to be.
Thoughts?
