Build-up of Waste

Over time, waste can build up in the toilet bowl and pipes, causing blockages.

Tree Roots

If you have trees or shrubs growing near your toilet, their roots can penetrate the pipes and cause blockages.

How to Tell if You Have a Blocked Toilet

If you have a blocked toilet, you'll likely notice some of the following symptoms:

• The water level in the toilet bowl is higher than usual
• The water drains slowly when flushing
• You hear gurgling or bubbling sounds when using the toilet
• There's a foul smell coming from the toilet or drains

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to take action as soon as possible to prevent the problem from getting worse.

How to Unblock a Toilet

If you have a minor blockage, you may be able to unblock the toilet yourself using a plunger. Here's how:

1. Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands.
2. Fill the toilet bowl with enough water to cover the plunger head.
3. Place the plunger over the toilet hole and push down firmly.
4. Pull up sharply to create suction.
5. Repeat the plunging motion several times until the blockage clears.

If the blockage is more severe, or if you're unable to unblock the toilet using a plunger, it's time to call in the professionals.
