Multiple Blockages

If you find that your toilet is continually blocking, despite your best efforts to unblock it, there may be a more significant issue at play. In this case, it's crucial to call Drainage Cumbria to identify and fix the problem.

How to Unblock a Toilet

If you have a blocked toilet, here are a few steps you can take to try and fix the problem yourself.

Use a Plunger

The first line of defense when it comes to unblocking a toilet is a plunger. A plunger is a tool that creates suction to loosen and remove the blockage. To use a plunger, place it over the drain hole and pump it up and down several times.

Use Hot Water and Dish Soap

Another technique for unblocking a toilet is to use a combination of hot water and dish soap. Start by adding a few drops of dish soap to the bowl, then pour in a pot of boiling water. Let the solution sit for a few minutes, then use a plunger to break up and remove the blockage.

Use a Toilet Snake

If the plunger and hot water and dish soap methods are unsuccessful, a toilet snake may be necessary. A toilet snake is a long, flexible tool that can be inserted into the drain to remove blockages. However, it's essential to use caution and follow instructions carefully when using a toilet snake to avoid damaging your plumbing system.
