How to Tell if You Have a Blocked Toilet

If you're not sure whether you have a blocked toilet, here are some signs to look out for:

• The water level in the toilet bowl is higher than usual, or the water does not go down when you flush
• You can hear gurgling sounds coming from the toilet or sink
• There is a foul smell coming from the toilet or drain
• Water is overflowing from the bowl or drain

If you notice any of these signs, it's likely that you have a blockage. DIY solutions like using a plunger may work in some cases, but if the blockage is severe or has been there for a long time, you may need to call in the professionals.

How Drainage Cumbria Can Help Unblock Your Toilet

When you call us to unblock your toilet, we'll start by carrying out a thorough inspection to identify the cause of the blockage. Once we know what we're dealing with, we'll use one of several techniques to remove the blockage and get your toilet working properly again.

Drain Jetting

One of the most effective ways to remove a blockage is through drain jetting. This involves using a high-pressure water jet to blast away the blockage and clear the drain. We'll use our state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that your drain is completely clear and free-flowing before we finish the job.

CCTV Drain Survey

If we suspect that there may be a more significant issue with your drainage system, we may recommend a CCTV drain survey. This involves using a small camera to inspect the inside of the drain and identify any underlying problems like cracks or leaks that could be causing the blockage.
